COUNCILLORS POINTS:

5.1 Councillor Hamlyn:

Will withhold thoughts on vending until Council has had a chance to resolve it properly.

5.2 Councillor Penney:

Thinks the 2003 regulations are very fair. Had some problems and had a study completed by 2 councillors.

Thought last motion was very unfair to existing vendors. Rather than have unfair regulations and to protect the Town, I introduced the motion to ban vending.

Not against roadside vending.

Thought that Mr. Bennett’s letter is really good.

If we are having rules, they must be fair.

Council needs to have a meeting about what work is going to be done and when. We need to make it public what the Town has planned for public works. Need to do up a priority list. The public needs to know.

5.3 Councillor Joy:

Totally agrees with Councillor Penney on capital works.

Generated vending amendments to help with enforcement.

Was never my attention to be unfair on vending or to ban it.

Attended Cloudberries concert. Great couple of hours. Thought it was excellent.

5.4 Councillor Kieley:

Playground in North Arm is very close to both roads. Should look at moving it out on the land the Town owns, further out on Ridge Road.

5.5 Councillor King:

Did not agree with vending amendments, and believes that all the regulations should be published in the paper.

Council has bigger problems to deal with.

A couple of minor changes would be fine.

5.6 Deputy Mayor Mark Lane:

Residents of Kennedy’s Lane Extension would like a meeting and we should have it.

Would like to thank everyone for attending Freedom of the Town.

Congratulations on formation of first Youth Committee.

5.5 Mayor Curtis Buckle:

Send a letter to 56^th Field Squadron.

Send a letter to the legion for hosting the event afterwards.
