Staff reports ended Mono Council session

April 13, 2016   ·   0 Comments

Mono Council’s meeting Tuesday night ended with a discussion of several reports from town staff.

Of interest, Treasurer Les Halucha shared that the financial auditors have completed their work on Mono’s fiscal year. Overall, the process was a positive one, with results expected in mid-summer.

Recreation Director Kim Perryman reported that the Mono Tennis Club had met recently, and the club has set aside $2500 toward the youth tennis program. The club will support youth by providing instruction, shoes, and tennis rackets. Ms. Perryman is also working on the recreation newsletter which will be out to the public shortly. In addition, there will be a Heart Fit Health workshop at Monora Park, a walk for Alzheimer’s, and the SPCA will be running a summer camp called “Animals Unleashed”.

Public Works Director Michael Dunmore reported that he is attempting to have logging companies come in to remove logs from trailways. The goal is to remove dangerous hanging logs while logs on the ground will rot. Other items include fixing the Island Lake pumphouse, which needs to be upgraded due to residential developments. Unfortunately, the septic bed is creating a strong o–dour not enjoyed by nearby residents.

CAO Mark Early mentioned that pre-hearings with the Niagara Escarpment Commission and Cliff Singer would begin on May 11. Although this is a significant issue in the town, there was minimal discussion during the meeting on this topic, which currently sees the Town having engaged a Toronto law firm to fight the landowner’s bid for permission to hold up to four water-skiing competitions each summer on a lake in his property, a 200-acre former gravel pit.
