View - The Municipality of Lambton Shores

Councillor Illman reminded Council that the issue of septic use was municipally wide
and that Council should move forward with the Environmental Assessments for Zones 3
and 4 so that the Municipality is ready to apply for any government funding that could
become available.
Councillor Bonesteel asked for consideration of allowing the four Council
representatives that were part of the Ad Hoc Advisory Committee to assist in the
preparation of the staff report on the implications of the Advisory Committee’s
recommendations to minimize discussion when the report comes back to Council.
Deputy Mayor Davis-Dagg explained that with the possible phasing approach to the
proposed Grand Bend and Area Sewage Treatment Facility there was a need for the
Working Group to have more accurate numbers for future capacity requirements than
those currently in the EA and Sewer Master Plan, and it was reiterated that the Working
Group was to stay within the parameters of the EA and Sewage Master Plan.

Seconded by: Deputy Mayor Davis-Dagg
That those recommendations included in the report from the Ad
Hoc Sewage Advisory Committee are accepted by Council and that
staff report back as to how to implement these recommendations,
with a time line to do so, along with information on the financial
impact this will have on the residents of Lambton Shores.
Carried
As a follow up, the Deputy Mayor proposed a motion dealing with the need for the
working group to have flow numbers that reflect a phased in approach and as a
supplemental to Council’s earlier motion; that Council direct staff to immediately request
a quote from Stantec Engineering for the cost of determining what Lambton Shores
flows will be in the first phase or twenty year time-life of the proposed sewage treatment
facility or lagoon upgrade without zone 3 and 4 and if the costs are reasonable and if
time allows staff must assist Stantec to define the flow numbers before the June 19 th
meeting.
A discussion ensued as to whether this was an emergent issue or not and that if it was,
2/3 consent of Council was needed to proceed with the motion and as there was no
seconder to the motion discussion on the matter ceased.
4. Report to Council from Councillor John Russell on Telecommunication
Towers and Strategic Planning
Councillor Russell reported that following the proposal to construct a telecommunication
tower in Port Franks, several health issues such as electro-sensitivity have been
brought forward by concerned citizens, along with requests for Council to act in a
strategic manner to help change the regulations imposed through Industry Canada on
these telecommunication towers.
