Administrator

Mayor Dale read a submitted report from Administrator Maggie Knox.

The arrangements for the Just for Kids Golf Tournament are going well. Prizes and sponsors are being gathered. Sponsors are needed for 3 more holes, and an appeal was made to forward potential sponsors to her.

Reminder was given regarding the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations. Nominations are being sought for citizens making news in Canada and this area in particular.

Discussion was held concerning rain barrels and water conservation. It was felt that rain barrel use is a separate issue and would not replace watering restrictions. Rain barrels would provide a positive solution to those persons wishing to water on restricted days.

It was suggested that initiative be taken with local hardware stores and plumbing suppliers to offer special rates on low volume showerheads, composters, rain barrels, and other water conservations products.

It was unclear whether Sewer Use Regulation Bylaw for new construction is in effect. Administrator and Public Works Superintendent will follow up.

Discussion continued regarding water conservation.

Moved by Councilor Vetter, seconded by Councilor Wejr that water restrictions be adopted with Odd numbered residents permitted to water on Wednesdays and Saturdays; Even numbered residents permitted to water on Thursdays and Sundays. Watering allowed between the hours of 6 — 9 a.m. and 6 — 9 p.m.

Testing of new sewage treatment filter showing impressive results.

Mayor Dale and NORD Director Les Deuling met with the Honorable George Abbott. Re: Streamside Protection Act. The Provincial Government will be looking at it further.

Testing of a new sewage treatment filter is showing positive results in reducing the amount of sludge that needs to be transported.

An invitation was extended to Councilors to view the new filter in action on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 5, 2002.

Recent high water flows caused large rocks to come down at Brach Creek, causing damage. Provincial Emergency Program will be covering expense.

Mr. Soros has received a price of $2947 for 2 molds for making large cement planters. It was suggested that the Chamber of Commerce and Centennial Committee take joint measures to place planters around town to enhance the beautification of Enderby.

Numerous complaints have been lodged concerning unkempt vacant lots. Unfortunately, not much can be done unless there are noxious weeds threatening agricultural land. Staff has been instructed to inform citizens of this condition. Mr. Soros suggested that a colored poster of controlled weeds be obtained to display in City Hall.
