COUNCIL MEETING
A Special Meeting of the Pickering Town
Council was held on WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER
20TH 1976 at 6:00 P.M.
PRESENT:
Mayor G. Ashe
Councillors
J. Anderson
D. Kitchen
K. Matheson
A. Robertson
B. Searle
K. Spratley
N.C. Marshall -
Administrator-Clerk
The purpose of the meeting was to consider an amend-
ment to the Town anti-noise By-law Number 3821/70
which would permit Council to declare an emergency,
thus grant relief from the provisions of the anti-
noise By-law where conditions warranted it.
The previous night the Claremont Co-op had been
forced to close down its corn drying operation
by the police department as they were violating
the anti-noise By-law in operating beyond 6:00 p.m.
in the evening. A complaint evidently had been
lodged by abutting property owners.
A call had been received from the Minister of
Agriculture and Food by the Mayor, outlining the
grave situation which faced the farmers in Ontario
in harvesting their corn crop in view of the
unusually wet year which had been experienced
and the exceptionally high moisture content present
in the corn crop. Many farmers would suffer
significant financial loss, if they were not
able to avail themselves of the corn drying facilities
presently available, including that operated by the
Co-op.
By-Law Number 497/76
Councillor Robertson, seconded by Councillor Matheson
moved for leave to introduce a By-law of the Town of
Pickering to amend By-law 3821/70 respecting the
operation of noisy machinery and noises, and that
same be now read a first, second and third time and
that the same be now finally passed and that the Mayor
and Clerk sign the same and that the Seal of the
Corporation be thereto affixed.
CARRIED
By-law read a first, second and third time and
finally passed.
