Additional Comments
This application proposes to sever a 12 hectare (30 acre) parcel containing a residence barn and associated structures from the remainder of the farmland which is approximately 28 hectares (69 acres) The severed parcel is entirely within and corresponds with the boundary for the Gorrie Settlement Area
The proposed severing of the 30 acre Urban-designated parcel is to facilitate its eventual development as part of Gorrie while the remaining 69 acres continues to be used for agricultural purposes
The Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS) directs new urban development to identified settlement areas The proposed consent creates a parcel that is coincident with the northern boundary of Gorrie and will facilitate the eventual development of this area The proposed consent is consistent with the PPS
Both the Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP also direct urban development to settlement areas such as Gorrie The Howick OP in particular has a policy that specifically permits consents for the purpose of assembling land for a future subdivision such as is proposed by this application Therefore the proposed consent conforms with the Huron County OP and the Howick OP
Huron County Public Works has no objections to application however they do recommend that when the severed parcel is eventually developed that the following issues be addressed access to County Road 87 be organized (a 1rsquo reserve be established) storm water management traffic impact and that the property be under site plan control
The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has no concerns with the application however they have identified that when future development is proposed for the severed parcel that a hydrogeological assessment (due to the property being above a highly vulnerable aquifer and within a significant groundwater recharge area) and a flood study may be required
Consent Application B1815 Haelzle Page 5 of 6 June 10 2015
The Huron County Health Unit has no concerns with the application and advised that a pump out certificate indicating the septic is in good working order has been received
Howick Municipal staff commented that the property is within two municipal drainage areas so the drainage assessments will be required to be split under Section 65 of the Drainage Act In addition since the existing barns are within an urban area they should either be demolished or the applicant apply for a change of use (No Livestock Housing) under the Ontario Building Code These comments can be addressed through conditions to the approval
If the applicant chooses to keep the barns and apply for the change of use option then a rezoning of the property should be required as a condition of approval to ensure that the housing of livestock is no longer a permitted use so livestock cannot be put back in the barn in the future without a rezoning
No comments have been received from neighbours
As the application conforms with the official plans is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and no objections have been received it is recommended that the consent be approved with the following conditions

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections
Proposed Timeline
June 16 ndash pass by-law to fill the vacancy by by-election (post info on Howickrsquos website)
June 17 ndash Nomination Period begins
July 1 ndash call for Candidates in ldquoWhatrsquos Happening in Howickrdquo

Aug 27 (45 days after nomination day) ndash By-election Day
Sept 1 ndash new Councillor takes oath of office Financial Impact Cost will depend on the process Council chooses If Council chooses to fill the vacancy by appointment there will be costs related to advertising and printing The estimated cost of running a by-election is approximately $10000 The 2014 budget amount for the municipal election was $20000 and actual cost was approx $13500 The remaining $6500 was put into general reserves The 2015 budget includes $5000 for election

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Additional Comments
This application proposes to sever a 12 hectare (30 acre) parcel containing a residence barn and associated structures from the remainder of the farmland which is approximately 28 hectares (69 acres) The severed parcel is entirely within and corresponds with the boundary for the Gorrie Settlement Area
The proposed severing of the 30 acre Urban-designated parcel is to facilitate its eventual development as part of Gorrie while the remaining 69 acres continues to be used for agricultural purposes
The Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS) directs new urban development to identified settlement areas The proposed consent creates a parcel that is coincident with the northern boundary of Gorrie and will facilitate the eventual development of this area The proposed consent is consistent with the PPS
Both the Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP also direct urban development to settlement areas such as Gorrie The Howick OP in particular has a policy that specifically permits consents for the purpose of assembling land for a future subdivision such as is proposed by this application Therefore the proposed consent conforms with the Huron County OP and the Howick OP
Huron County Public Works has no objections to application however they do recommend that when the severed parcel is eventually developed that the following issues be addressed access to County Road 87 be organized (a 1rsquo reserve be established) storm water management traffic impact and that the property be under site plan control
The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has no concerns with the application however they have identified that when future development is proposed for the severed parcel that a hydrogeological assessment (due to the property being above a highly vulnerable aquifer and within a significant groundwater recharge area) and a flood study may be required
Consent Application B1815 Haelzle Page 5 of 6 June 10 2015
The Huron County Health Unit has no concerns with the application and advised that a pump out certificate indicating the septic is in good working order has been received
Howick Municipal staff commented that the property is within two municipal drainage areas so the drainage assessments will be required to be split under Section 65 of the Drainage Act In addition since the existing barns are within an urban area they should either be demolished or the applicant apply for a change of use (No Livestock Housing) under the Ontario Building Code These comments can be addressed through conditions to the approval
If the applicant chooses to keep the barns and apply for the change of use option then a rezoning of the property should be required as a condition of approval to ensure that the housing of livestock is no longer a permitted use so livestock cannot be put back in the barn in the future without a rezoning
No comments have been received from neighbours
As the application conforms with the official plans is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and no objections have been received it is recommended that the consent be approved with the following conditions
Recommended Conditions (denoted by ) Note The list below may not contain all Township conditions and should be reviewed by Howick Council

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections

Aug 27 (45 days after nomination day) ndash By-election Day

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Additional Comments
This application proposes to sever a 12 hectare (30 acre) parcel containing a residence barn and associated structures from the remainder of the farmland which is approximately 28 hectares (69 acres) The severed parcel is entirely within and corresponds with the boundary for the Gorrie Settlement Area
The proposed severing of the 30 acre Urban-designated parcel is to facilitate its eventual development as part of Gorrie while the remaining 69 acres continues to be used for agricultural purposes
The Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS) directs new urban development to identified settlement areas The proposed consent creates a parcel that is coincident with the northern boundary of Gorrie and will facilitate the eventual development of this area The proposed consent is consistent with the PPS
Both the Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP also direct urban development to settlement areas such as Gorrie The Howick OP in particular has a policy that specifically permits consents for the purpose of assembling land for a future subdivision such as is proposed by this application Therefore the proposed consent conforms with the Huron County OP and the Howick OP
Huron County Public Works has no objections to application however they do recommend that when the severed parcel is eventually developed that the following issues be addressed access to County Road 87 be organized (a 1rsquo reserve be established) storm water management traffic impact and that the property be under site plan control
The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has no concerns with the application however they have identified that when future development is proposed for the severed parcel that a hydrogeological assessment (due to the property being above a highly vulnerable aquifer and within a significant groundwater recharge area) and a flood study may be required
Consent Application B1815 Haelzle Page 5 of 6 June 10 2015
The Huron County Health Unit has no concerns with the application and advised that a pump out certificate indicating the septic is in good working order has been received
Howick Municipal staff commented that the property is within two municipal drainage areas so the drainage assessments will be required to be split under Section 65 of the Drainage Act In addition since the existing barns are within an urban area they should either be demolished or the applicant apply for a change of use (No Livestock Housing) under the Ontario Building Code These comments can be addressed through conditions to the approval
If the applicant chooses to keep the barns and apply for the change of use option then a rezoning of the property should be required as a condition of approval to ensure that the housing of livestock is no longer a permitted use so livestock cannot be put back in the barn in the future without a rezoning
No comments have been received from neighbours
As the application conforms with the official plans is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and no objections have been received it is recommended that the consent be approved with the following conditions
Recommended Conditions (denoted by ) Note The list below may not contain all Township conditions and should be reviewed by Howick Council

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections
Proposed Timeline

June 17 ndash Nomination Period begins
July 1 ndash call for Candidates in ldquoWhatrsquos Happening in Howickrdquo
July 13 (27 days since by-law passed) ndash Nomination Day (nominations close at 2 pm)
Aug 27 (45 days after nomination day) ndash By-election Day
Sept 1 ndash new Councillor takes oath of office Financial Impact Cost will depend on the process Council chooses If Council chooses to fill the vacancy by appointment there will be costs related to advertising and printing The estimated cost of running a by-election is approximately $10000 The 2014 budget amount for the municipal election was $20000 and actual cost was approx $13500 The remaining $6500 was put into general reserves The 2015 budget includes $5000 for election

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Additional Comments
This application proposes to sever a 12 hectare (30 acre) parcel containing a residence barn and associated structures from the remainder of the farmland which is approximately 28 hectares (69 acres) The severed parcel is entirely within and corresponds with the boundary for the Gorrie Settlement Area
The proposed severing of the 30 acre Urban-designated parcel is to facilitate its eventual development as part of Gorrie while the remaining 69 acres continues to be used for agricultural purposes
The Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS) directs new urban development to identified settlement areas The proposed consent creates a parcel that is coincident with the northern boundary of Gorrie and will facilitate the eventual development of this area The proposed consent is consistent with the PPS
Both the Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP also direct urban development to settlement areas such as Gorrie The Howick OP in particular has a policy that specifically permits consents for the purpose of assembling land for a future subdivision such as is proposed by this application Therefore the proposed consent conforms with the Huron County OP and the Howick OP
Huron County Public Works has no objections to application however they do recommend that when the severed parcel is eventually developed that the following issues be addressed access to County Road 87 be organized (a 1rsquo reserve be established) storm water management traffic impact and that the property be under site plan control
The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has no concerns with the application however they have identified that when future development is proposed for the severed parcel that a hydrogeological assessment (due to the property being above a highly vulnerable aquifer and within a significant groundwater recharge area) and a flood study may be required
Consent Application B1815 Haelzle Page 5 of 6 June 10 2015
The Huron County Health Unit has no concerns with the application and advised that a pump out certificate indicating the septic is in good working order has been received
Howick Municipal staff commented that the property is within two municipal drainage areas so the drainage assessments will be required to be split under Section 65 of the Drainage Act In addition since the existing barns are within an urban area they should either be demolished or the applicant apply for a change of use (No Livestock Housing) under the Ontario Building Code These comments can be addressed through conditions to the approval
If the applicant chooses to keep the barns and apply for the change of use option then a rezoning of the property should be required as a condition of approval to ensure that the housing of livestock is no longer a permitted use so livestock cannot be put back in the barn in the future without a rezoning
No comments have been received from neighbours
As the application conforms with the official plans is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and no objections have been received it is recommended that the consent be approved with the following conditions
Recommended Conditions (denoted by ) Note The list below may not contain all Township conditions and should be reviewed by Howick Council

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections

Aug 27 (45 days after nomination day) ndash By-election Day
Sept 1 ndash new Councillor takes oath of office Financial Impact Cost will depend on the process Council chooses If Council chooses to fill the vacancy by appointment there will be costs related to advertising and printing The estimated cost of running a by-election is approximately $10000 The 2014 budget amount for the municipal election was $20000 and actual cost was approx $13500 The remaining $6500 was put into general reserves The 2015 budget includes $5000 for election

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Additional Comments
This application proposes to sever a 12 hectare (30 acre) parcel containing a residence barn and associated structures from the remainder of the farmland which is approximately 28 hectares (69 acres) The severed parcel is entirely within and corresponds with the boundary for the Gorrie Settlement Area
The proposed severing of the 30 acre Urban-designated parcel is to facilitate its eventual development as part of Gorrie while the remaining 69 acres continues to be used for agricultural purposes
The Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS) directs new urban development to identified settlement areas The proposed consent creates a parcel that is coincident with the northern boundary of Gorrie and will facilitate the eventual development of this area The proposed consent is consistent with the PPS
Both the Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP also direct urban development to settlement areas such as Gorrie The Howick OP in particular has a policy that specifically permits consents for the purpose of assembling land for a future subdivision such as is proposed by this application Therefore the proposed consent conforms with the Huron County OP and the Howick OP
Huron County Public Works has no objections to application however they do recommend that when the severed parcel is eventually developed that the following issues be addressed access to County Road 87 be organized (a 1rsquo reserve be established) storm water management traffic impact and that the property be under site plan control
The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has no concerns with the application however they have identified that when future development is proposed for the severed parcel that a hydrogeological assessment (due to the property being above a highly vulnerable aquifer and within a significant groundwater recharge area) and a flood study may be required
Consent Application B1815 Haelzle Page 5 of 6 June 10 2015
The Huron County Health Unit has no concerns with the application and advised that a pump out certificate indicating the septic is in good working order has been received
Howick Municipal staff commented that the property is within two municipal drainage areas so the drainage assessments will be required to be split under Section 65 of the Drainage Act In addition since the existing barns are within an urban area they should either be demolished or the applicant apply for a change of use (No Livestock Housing) under the Ontario Building Code These comments can be addressed through conditions to the approval
If the applicant chooses to keep the barns and apply for the change of use option then a rezoning of the property should be required as a condition of approval to ensure that the housing of livestock is no longer a permitted use so livestock cannot be put back in the barn in the future without a rezoning
No comments have been received from neighbours
As the application conforms with the official plans is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and no objections have been received it is recommended that the consent be approved with the following conditions
Recommended Conditions (denoted by ) Note The list below may not contain all Township conditions and should be reviewed by Howick Council

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections

June 17 ndash Nomination Period begins
July 1 ndash call for Candidates in ldquoWhatrsquos Happening in Howickrdquo

Aug 27 (45 days after nomination day) ndash By-election Day

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Additional Comments
This application proposes to sever a 12 hectare (30 acre) parcel containing a residence barn and associated structures from the remainder of the farmland which is approximately 28 hectares (69 acres) The severed parcel is entirely within and corresponds with the boundary for the Gorrie Settlement Area
The proposed severing of the 30 acre Urban-designated parcel is to facilitate its eventual development as part of Gorrie while the remaining 69 acres continues to be used for agricultural purposes
The Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS) directs new urban development to identified settlement areas The proposed consent creates a parcel that is coincident with the northern boundary of Gorrie and will facilitate the eventual development of this area The proposed consent is consistent with the PPS
Both the Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP also direct urban development to settlement areas such as Gorrie The Howick OP in particular has a policy that specifically permits consents for the purpose of assembling land for a future subdivision such as is proposed by this application Therefore the proposed consent conforms with the Huron County OP and the Howick OP
Huron County Public Works has no objections to application however they do recommend that when the severed parcel is eventually developed that the following issues be addressed access to County Road 87 be organized (a 1rsquo reserve be established) storm water management traffic impact and that the property be under site plan control
The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has no concerns with the application however they have identified that when future development is proposed for the severed parcel that a hydrogeological assessment (due to the property being above a highly vulnerable aquifer and within a significant groundwater recharge area) and a flood study may be required
Consent Application B1815 Haelzle Page 5 of 6 June 10 2015
The Huron County Health Unit has no concerns with the application and advised that a pump out certificate indicating the septic is in good working order has been received
Howick Municipal staff commented that the property is within two municipal drainage areas so the drainage assessments will be required to be split under Section 65 of the Drainage Act In addition since the existing barns are within an urban area they should either be demolished or the applicant apply for a change of use (No Livestock Housing) under the Ontario Building Code These comments can be addressed through conditions to the approval
If the applicant chooses to keep the barns and apply for the change of use option then a rezoning of the property should be required as a condition of approval to ensure that the housing of livestock is no longer a permitted use so livestock cannot be put back in the barn in the future without a rezoning
No comments have been received from neighbours
As the application conforms with the official plans is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and no objections have been received it is recommended that the consent be approved with the following conditions
Recommended Conditions (denoted by ) Note The list below may not contain all Township conditions and should be reviewed by Howick Council
Expiry Period

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

July 21 ndash (49 days since declaring vacancy) candidates attend Special (5 pm) Council meeting called for the purpose of considering and appointing a candidate (Councillor to take oath of office at the regular Council meeting at 7 pm)
Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections
Proposed Timeline
June 16 ndash pass by-law to fill the vacancy by by-election (post info on Howickrsquos website)
June 17 ndash Nomination Period begins
July 1 ndash call for Candidates in ldquoWhatrsquos Happening in Howickrdquo
July 13 (27 days since by-law passed) ndash Nomination Day (nominations close at 2 pm)
Aug 27 (45 days after nomination day) ndash By-election Day
Sept 1 ndash new Councillor takes oath of office Financial Impact Cost will depend on the process Council chooses If Council chooses to fill the vacancy by appointment there will be costs related to advertising and printing The estimated cost of running a by-election is approximately $10000 The 2014 budget amount for the municipal election was $20000 and actual cost was approx $13500 The remaining $6500 was put into general reserves The 2015 budget includes $5000 for election

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Additional Comments
This application proposes to sever a 12 hectare (30 acre) parcel containing a residence barn and associated structures from the remainder of the farmland which is approximately 28 hectares (69 acres) The severed parcel is entirely within and corresponds with the boundary for the Gorrie Settlement Area
The proposed severing of the 30 acre Urban-designated parcel is to facilitate its eventual development as part of Gorrie while the remaining 69 acres continues to be used for agricultural purposes
The Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS) directs new urban development to identified settlement areas The proposed consent creates a parcel that is coincident with the northern boundary of Gorrie and will facilitate the eventual development of this area The proposed consent is consistent with the PPS
Both the Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP also direct urban development to settlement areas such as Gorrie The Howick OP in particular has a policy that specifically permits consents for the purpose of assembling land for a future subdivision such as is proposed by this application Therefore the proposed consent conforms with the Huron County OP and the Howick OP
Huron County Public Works has no objections to application however they do recommend that when the severed parcel is eventually developed that the following issues be addressed access to County Road 87 be organized (a 1rsquo reserve be established) storm water management traffic impact and that the property be under site plan control
The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has no concerns with the application however they have identified that when future development is proposed for the severed parcel that a hydrogeological assessment (due to the property being above a highly vulnerable aquifer and within a significant groundwater recharge area) and a flood study may be required
Consent Application B1815 Haelzle Page 5 of 6 June 10 2015
The Huron County Health Unit has no concerns with the application and advised that a pump out certificate indicating the septic is in good working order has been received
Howick Municipal staff commented that the property is within two municipal drainage areas so the drainage assessments will be required to be split under Section 65 of the Drainage Act In addition since the existing barns are within an urban area they should either be demolished or the applicant apply for a change of use (No Livestock Housing) under the Ontario Building Code These comments can be addressed through conditions to the approval
If the applicant chooses to keep the barns and apply for the change of use option then a rezoning of the property should be required as a condition of approval to ensure that the housing of livestock is no longer a permitted use so livestock cannot be put back in the barn in the future without a rezoning
No comments have been received from neighbours
As the application conforms with the official plans is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and no objections have been received it is recommended that the consent be approved with the following conditions
Recommended Conditions (denoted by ) Note The list below may not contain all Township conditions and should be reviewed by Howick Council

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Additional Comments
This application proposes to sever a 12 hectare (30 acre) parcel containing a residence barn and associated structures from the remainder of the farmland which is approximately 28 hectares (69 acres) The severed parcel is entirely within and corresponds with the boundary for the Gorrie Settlement Area
The proposed severing of the 30 acre Urban-designated parcel is to facilitate its eventual development as part of Gorrie while the remaining 69 acres continues to be used for agricultural purposes
The Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS) directs new urban development to identified settlement areas The proposed consent creates a parcel that is coincident with the northern boundary of Gorrie and will facilitate the eventual development of this area The proposed consent is consistent with the PPS
Both the Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP also direct urban development to settlement areas such as Gorrie The Howick OP in particular has a policy that specifically permits consents for the purpose of assembling land for a future subdivision such as is proposed by this application Therefore the proposed consent conforms with the Huron County OP and the Howick OP
Huron County Public Works has no objections to application however they do recommend that when the severed parcel is eventually developed that the following issues be addressed access to County Road 87 be organized (a 1rsquo reserve be established) storm water management traffic impact and that the property be under site plan control
The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has no concerns with the application however they have identified that when future development is proposed for the severed parcel that a hydrogeological assessment (due to the property being above a highly vulnerable aquifer and within a significant groundwater recharge area) and a flood study may be required
Consent Application B1815 Haelzle Page 5 of 6 June 10 2015
The Huron County Health Unit has no concerns with the application and advised that a pump out certificate indicating the septic is in good working order has been received
Howick Municipal staff commented that the property is within two municipal drainage areas so the drainage assessments will be required to be split under Section 65 of the Drainage Act In addition since the existing barns are within an urban area they should either be demolished or the applicant apply for a change of use (No Livestock Housing) under the Ontario Building Code These comments can be addressed through conditions to the approval
If the applicant chooses to keep the barns and apply for the change of use option then a rezoning of the property should be required as a condition of approval to ensure that the housing of livestock is no longer a permitted use so livestock cannot be put back in the barn in the future without a rezoning
No comments have been received from neighbours
As the application conforms with the official plans is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and no objections have been received it is recommended that the consent be approved with the following conditions
Recommended Conditions (denoted by ) Note The list below may not contain all Township conditions and should be reviewed by Howick Council
Expiry Period

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Additional Comments
This application proposes to sever a 12 hectare (30 acre) parcel containing a residence barn and associated structures from the remainder of the farmland which is approximately 28 hectares (69 acres) The severed parcel is entirely within and corresponds with the boundary for the Gorrie Settlement Area
The proposed severing of the 30 acre Urban-designated parcel is to facilitate its eventual development as part of Gorrie while the remaining 69 acres continues to be used for agricultural purposes
The Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS) directs new urban development to identified settlement areas The proposed consent creates a parcel that is coincident with the northern boundary of Gorrie and will facilitate the eventual development of this area The proposed consent is consistent with the PPS
Both the Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP also direct urban development to settlement areas such as Gorrie The Howick OP in particular has a policy that specifically permits consents for the purpose of assembling land for a future subdivision such as is proposed by this application Therefore the proposed consent conforms with the Huron County OP and the Howick OP
Huron County Public Works has no objections to application however they do recommend that when the severed parcel is eventually developed that the following issues be addressed access to County Road 87 be organized (a 1rsquo reserve be established) storm water management traffic impact and that the property be under site plan control
The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has no concerns with the application however they have identified that when future development is proposed for the severed parcel that a hydrogeological assessment (due to the property being above a highly vulnerable aquifer and within a significant groundwater recharge area) and a flood study may be required
Consent Application B1815 Haelzle Page 5 of 6 June 10 2015
The Huron County Health Unit has no concerns with the application and advised that a pump out certificate indicating the septic is in good working order has been received
Howick Municipal staff commented that the property is within two municipal drainage areas so the drainage assessments will be required to be split under Section 65 of the Drainage Act In addition since the existing barns are within an urban area they should either be demolished or the applicant apply for a change of use (No Livestock Housing) under the Ontario Building Code These comments can be addressed through conditions to the approval
If the applicant chooses to keep the barns and apply for the change of use option then a rezoning of the property should be required as a condition of approval to ensure that the housing of livestock is no longer a permitted use so livestock cannot be put back in the barn in the future without a rezoning
No comments have been received from neighbours

Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections

June 17 ndash Nomination Period begins
July 1 ndash call for Candidates in ldquoWhatrsquos Happening in Howickrdquo

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Panoramic photo of eastern portion of severed lands looking north from Harriston Road
Barn on the severed parcel looking east from Gorrie Line (Sept 2013 Google StreetView)
Additional Comments
This application proposes to sever a 12 hectare (30 acre) parcel containing a residence barn and associated structures from the remainder of the farmland which is approximately 28 hectares (69 acres) The severed parcel is entirely within and corresponds with the boundary for the Gorrie Settlement Area
The proposed severing of the 30 acre Urban-designated parcel is to facilitate its eventual development as part of Gorrie while the remaining 69 acres continues to be used for agricultural purposes
The Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS) directs new urban development to identified settlement areas The proposed consent creates a parcel that is coincident with the northern boundary of Gorrie and will facilitate the eventual development of this area The proposed consent is consistent with the PPS
Both the Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP also direct urban development to settlement areas such as Gorrie The Howick OP in particular has a policy that specifically permits consents for the purpose of assembling land for a future subdivision such as is proposed by this application Therefore the proposed consent conforms with the Huron County OP and the Howick OP
Huron County Public Works has no objections to application however they do recommend that when the severed parcel is eventually developed that the following issues be addressed access to County Road 87 be organized (a 1rsquo reserve be established) storm water management traffic impact and that the property be under site plan control
The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has no concerns with the application however they have identified that when future development is proposed for the severed parcel that a hydrogeological assessment (due to the property being above a highly vulnerable aquifer and within a significant groundwater recharge area) and a flood study may be required
Consent Application B1815 Haelzle Page 5 of 6 June 10 2015
The Huron County Health Unit has no concerns with the application and advised that a pump out certificate indicating the septic is in good working order has been received
Howick Municipal staff commented that the property is within two municipal drainage areas so the drainage assessments will be required to be split under Section 65 of the Drainage Act In addition since the existing barns are within an urban area they should either be demolished or the applicant apply for a change of use (No Livestock Housing) under the Ontario Building Code These comments can be addressed through conditions to the approval
If the applicant chooses to keep the barns and apply for the change of use option then a rezoning of the property should be required as a condition of approval to ensure that the housing of livestock is no longer a permitted use so livestock cannot be put back in the barn in the future without a rezoning
No comments have been received from neighbours
As the application conforms with the official plans is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and no objections have been received it is recommended that the consent be approved with the following conditions
Recommended Conditions (denoted by ) Note The list below may not contain all Township conditions and should be reviewed by Howick Council
Expiry Period
Conditions imposed must be met within one year of the date of notice of decision as required by Section 53(41) of the Planning Act RSO 1990 as amended If conditions are not fulfilled as prescribed within one year the application shall be deemed to be refused Provided the conditions are fulfilled within one year the application is valid for two years from the date of decision

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office
If Council chooses to appoint staff suggests that applications be called

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections
Proposed Timeline
June 16 ndash pass by-law to fill the vacancy by by-election (post info on Howickrsquos website)
June 17 ndash Nomination Period begins
July 1 ndash call for Candidates in ldquoWhatrsquos Happening in Howickrdquo
July 13 (27 days since by-law passed) ndash Nomination Day (nominations close at 2 pm)
Aug 27 (45 days after nomination day) ndash By-election Day
Sept 1 ndash new Councillor takes oath of office Financial Impact Cost will depend on the process Council chooses If Council chooses to fill the vacancy by appointment there will be costs related to advertising and printing The estimated cost of running a by-election is approximately $10000 The 2014 budget amount for the municipal election was $20000 and actual cost was approx $13500 The remaining $6500 was put into general reserves The 2015 budget includes $5000 for election

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Panoramic photo of eastern portion of severed lands looking north from Harriston Road
Barn on the severed parcel looking east from Gorrie Line (Sept 2013 Google StreetView)
Additional Comments
This application proposes to sever a 12 hectare (30 acre) parcel containing a residence barn and associated structures from the remainder of the farmland which is approximately 28 hectares (69 acres) The severed parcel is entirely within and corresponds with the boundary for the Gorrie Settlement Area
The proposed severing of the 30 acre Urban-designated parcel is to facilitate its eventual development as part of Gorrie while the remaining 69 acres continues to be used for agricultural purposes
The Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS) directs new urban development to identified settlement areas The proposed consent creates a parcel that is coincident with the northern boundary of Gorrie and will facilitate the eventual development of this area The proposed consent is consistent with the PPS
Both the Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP also direct urban development to settlement areas such as Gorrie The Howick OP in particular has a policy that specifically permits consents for the purpose of assembling land for a future subdivision such as is proposed by this application Therefore the proposed consent conforms with the Huron County OP and the Howick OP
Huron County Public Works has no objections to application however they do recommend that when the severed parcel is eventually developed that the following issues be addressed access to County Road 87 be organized (a 1rsquo reserve be established) storm water management traffic impact and that the property be under site plan control
The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has no concerns with the application however they have identified that when future development is proposed for the severed parcel that a hydrogeological assessment (due to the property being above a highly vulnerable aquifer and within a significant groundwater recharge area) and a flood study may be required
Consent Application B1815 Haelzle Page 5 of 6 June 10 2015
The Huron County Health Unit has no concerns with the application and advised that a pump out certificate indicating the septic is in good working order has been received
Howick Municipal staff commented that the property is within two municipal drainage areas so the drainage assessments will be required to be split under Section 65 of the Drainage Act In addition since the existing barns are within an urban area they should either be demolished or the applicant apply for a change of use (No Livestock Housing) under the Ontario Building Code These comments can be addressed through conditions to the approval
If the applicant chooses to keep the barns and apply for the change of use option then a rezoning of the property should be required as a condition of approval to ensure that the housing of livestock is no longer a permitted use so livestock cannot be put back in the barn in the future without a rezoning
No comments have been received from neighbours
As the application conforms with the official plans is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and no objections have been received it is recommended that the consent be approved with the following conditions
Recommended Conditions (denoted by ) Note The list below may not contain all Township conditions and should be reviewed by Howick Council
Expiry Period

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

July 21 ndash (49 days since declaring vacancy) candidates attend Special (5 pm) Council meeting called for the purpose of considering and appointing a candidate (Councillor to take oath of office at the regular Council meeting at 7 pm)
Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections
Proposed Timeline
June 16 ndash pass by-law to fill the vacancy by by-election (post info on Howickrsquos website)
June 17 ndash Nomination Period begins
July 1 ndash call for Candidates in ldquoWhatrsquos Happening in Howickrdquo
July 13 (27 days since by-law passed) ndash Nomination Day (nominations close at 2 pm)
Aug 27 (45 days after nomination day) ndash By-election Day
Sept 1 ndash new Councillor takes oath of office Financial Impact Cost will depend on the process Council chooses If Council chooses to fill the vacancy by appointment there will be costs related to advertising and printing The estimated cost of running a by-election is approximately $10000 The 2014 budget amount for the municipal election was $20000 and actual cost was approx $13500 The remaining $6500 was put into general reserves The 2015 budget includes $5000 for election

standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Consent Application B1815 Haelzle Page 4 of 6 June 10 2015
Panoramic photo of eastern portion of severed lands looking north from Harriston Road
Barn on the severed parcel looking east from Gorrie Line (Sept 2013 Google StreetView)
Additional Comments
This application proposes to sever a 12 hectare (30 acre) parcel containing a residence barn and associated structures from the remainder of the farmland which is approximately 28 hectares (69 acres) The severed parcel is entirely within and corresponds with the boundary for the Gorrie Settlement Area
The proposed severing of the 30 acre Urban-designated parcel is to facilitate its eventual development as part of Gorrie while the remaining 69 acres continues to be used for agricultural purposes
The Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS) directs new urban development to identified settlement areas The proposed consent creates a parcel that is coincident with the northern boundary of Gorrie and will facilitate the eventual development of this area The proposed consent is consistent with the PPS
Both the Huron County Official Plan (OP) and the Howick OP also direct urban development to settlement areas such as Gorrie The Howick OP in particular has a policy that specifically permits consents for the purpose of assembling land for a future subdivision such as is proposed by this application Therefore the proposed consent conforms with the Huron County OP and the Howick OP
Huron County Public Works has no objections to application however they do recommend that when the severed parcel is eventually developed that the following issues be addressed access to County Road 87 be organized (a 1rsquo reserve be established) storm water management traffic impact and that the property be under site plan control
The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has no concerns with the application however they have identified that when future development is proposed for the severed parcel that a hydrogeological assessment (due to the property being above a highly vulnerable aquifer and within a significant groundwater recharge area) and a flood study may be required
Consent Application B1815 Haelzle Page 5 of 6 June 10 2015
The Huron County Health Unit has no concerns with the application and advised that a pump out certificate indicating the septic is in good working order has been received
Howick Municipal staff commented that the property is within two municipal drainage areas so the drainage assessments will be required to be split under Section 65 of the Drainage Act In addition since the existing barns are within an urban area they should either be demolished or the applicant apply for a change of use (No Livestock Housing) under the Ontario Building Code These comments can be addressed through conditions to the approval
If the applicant chooses to keep the barns and apply for the change of use option then a rezoning of the property should be required as a condition of approval to ensure that the housing of livestock is no longer a permitted use so livestock cannot be put back in the barn in the future without a rezoning
No comments have been received from neighbours
As the application conforms with the official plans is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and no objections have been received it is recommended that the consent be approved with the following conditions
Recommended Conditions (denoted by ) Note The list below may not contain all Township conditions and should be reviewed by Howick Council
Expiry Period

Report to Council - Clerk-2015-16 Title of Report Deciding on a Method to Fill the Vacancy From Carol Watson Clerk Date June 16 2015 Recommendation That Council
(a) fill the vacancy by appointing a person who has consented to accept the office if appointed or
(b) require a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy in accordance with the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Background On May 27 2015 the Clerk received a letter of resignation from Councillor Richard Orr vacating his elected office of Councillor effective June 1 2015 At the June 2 2015 Council meeting Council declare the office of one Councillor for the Township of Howick to be vacant
Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office
If Council chooses to appoint staff suggests that applications be called
Proposed Timeline
June 16 ndash pass motion to fill the vacancy by appointment (post info on Howickrsquos website)
July 1 ndash call for Candidates in ldquoWhatrsquos Happening in Howickrdquo
July 13 ndash applications due at 12 noon
July 21 ndash (49 days since declaring vacancy) candidates attend Special (5 pm) Council meeting called for the purpose of considering and appointing a candidate (Councillor to take oath of office at the regular Council meeting at 7 pm)
Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections
Proposed Timeline
June 16 ndash pass by-law to fill the vacancy by by-election (post info on Howickrsquos website)
June 17 ndash Nomination Period begins
July 1 ndash call for Candidates in ldquoWhatrsquos Happening in Howickrdquo
July 13 (27 days since by-law passed) ndash Nomination Day (nominations close at 2 pm)
Aug 27 (45 days after nomination day) ndash By-election Day

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

(b) require a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy in accordance with the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Background On May 27 2015 the Clerk received a letter of resignation from Councillor Richard Orr vacating his elected office of Councillor effective June 1 2015 At the June 2 2015 Council meeting Council declare the office of one Councillor for the Township of Howick to be vacant
Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office
If Council chooses to appoint staff suggests that applications be called

July 21 ndash (49 days since declaring vacancy) candidates attend Special (5 pm) Council meeting called for the purpose of considering and appointing a candidate (Councillor to take oath of office at the regular Council meeting at 7 pm)
Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections
Proposed Timeline
June 16 ndash pass by-law to fill the vacancy by by-election (post info on Howickrsquos website)
June 17 ndash Nomination Period begins
July 1 ndash call for Candidates in ldquoWhatrsquos Happening in Howickrdquo
July 13 (27 days since by-law passed) ndash Nomination Day (nominations close at 2 pm)
Aug 27 (45 days after nomination day) ndash By-election Day
Sept 1 ndash new Councillor takes oath of office Financial Impact Cost will depend on the process Council chooses If Council chooses to fill the vacancy by appointment there will be costs related to advertising and printing The estimated cost of running a by-election is approximately $10000 The 2014 budget amount for the municipal election was $20000 and actual cost was approx $13500 The remaining $6500 was put into general reserves The 2015 budget includes $5000 for election

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added

Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections
Proposed Timeline

June 17 ndash Nomination Period begins
July 1 ndash call for Candidates in ldquoWhatrsquos Happening in Howickrdquo

Aug 27 (45 days after nomination day) ndash By-election Day
Sept 1 ndash new Councillor takes oath of office Financial Impact Cost will depend on the process Council chooses If Council chooses to fill the vacancy by appointment there will be costs related to advertising and printing The estimated cost of running a by-election is approximately $10000 The 2014 budget amount for the municipal election was $20000 and actual cost was approx $13500 The remaining $6500 was put into general reserves The 2015 budget includes $5000 for election

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added

Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Report to Council - Clerk-2015-16 Title of Report Deciding on a Method to Fill the Vacancy From Carol Watson Clerk Date June 16 2015 Recommendation That Council
(a) fill the vacancy by appointing a person who has consented to accept the office if appointed or
(b) require a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy in accordance with the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Background On May 27 2015 the Clerk received a letter of resignation from Councillor Richard Orr vacating his elected office of Councillor effective June 1 2015 At the June 2 2015 Council meeting Council declare the office of one Councillor for the Township of Howick to be vacant
Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office
If Council chooses to appoint staff suggests that applications be called
Proposed Timeline
June 16 ndash pass motion to fill the vacancy by appointment (post info on Howickrsquos website)
July 1 ndash call for Candidates in ldquoWhatrsquos Happening in Howickrdquo
July 13 ndash applications due at 12 noon
July 21 ndash (49 days since declaring vacancy) candidates attend Special (5 pm) Council meeting called for the purpose of considering and appointing a candidate (Councillor to take oath of office at the regular Council meeting at 7 pm)
Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

Staff Comments The process for filling a vacancy for local Council is contained in the Municipal Act 2001 and the Municipal Elections Act 1996 Within 60 days after Council has declared a seat vacant Council must either appoint a person to fill the vacancy or pass a by-law requiring a by-election to be held to fill the vacancy (60 days is August 1 and July 21 2015 is the last regular Council meeting date prior to August 1)
Outlined below is a summary of the two options available to fill the vacancy In either option time is of the essence
Option A - Appointment
Council may fill the vacancy by appointing a person qualified to hold municipal office in the Township of Howick There is no legislation that sets out how an appointment is carried out Council decides what process it will use to choose the person it appoints
To be qualified to hold office a person must meet the following qualifications - 18 years of age or older - a Canadian citizen - a resident of the Township of Howick or an owner or tenant of land in the municipality or the spouse of such an owner or tenant and - not prohibited from voting under any other Act or disqualified from holding municipal office

Option B - By-election
Council may also decide to fill the vacancy by requiring a by-election to be held Should Council choose this option Section 263(5) of the Municipal Act requires Council to make that decision and to pass a by-law
Should Council decide to fill the vacancy by by-election Section 65 of the Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to establish Nomination Day not more than sixty (60) days from the day Council passes a by-law to hold a by-election and Voting Day shall be forty-five (45) days after Nomination Day
The Municipal Elections Act also requires by-elections to be conducted as far as possible in the same manner as regular elections

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
With Regards

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added

To Whom it may concern without prejudice
I cant express my concern enough with this billing that is almost double the original estimate and the
fact that the drain has not accomplished the job it was proposed to do As everyone can see there is still
standing water in the field and our property still floods every time it rains Our neighbours across the
road who do have water issues with flood in their basements where conveniently dropped from the
who the drain effects list
I brought it to the attention of Burnside when the first drawing showing the elevations was given to us
They then came out and did test holes to determine that it would work It now shows that it didnt
work and they did not do their testing properly What recourse has been taken up with Burnside
Thus I and several others are paying for a drain that was to benefits one farm For that kind of money
several problems that have existed for years and that are well known to the county could have be fixed
Im very disappointed in the decisions that were made regarding an old railroad drain that has no
bearing on our community today I now know why Howick has a tax burden that is excessive its due to
very bad decision and an outdated Drainage Act
I sincerely hope that a lesson was learned by the exercise and burden you have but on many
undeserving people in your community
As for the billing there was no date given as to when we could expect to see the billing and I feel it isvery unfair to expect people to have a bill of this size dropped on them and be expected to pay in one
payment or be charged interest if not paid within 30 days Im paying the revised invoice 7417 for
$661500 and expect your consideration for the interest you have added
