RM Dufferin Meeting Notes January 2021
New to the table was Councillor Mike McGill, who was acclaimed to the Division 4 position after the position was vacated in October by Councillor Brent Smith in an unsuccessful bid for Reeve.
McGill takes on the Division, which includes the embattled area of Highwood Beach. McGill is not a Highwood Beach resident, which may prove beneficial to his representation of his Division.
There was some question as Council reviewed the accounts for approval around the ordering of three iPads covers after three iPads, and the RM had already paid three covers for in October. Chief Administrative Officer, Rodney Audette, explained they did it in error, and they would have extra.
RM Development *
The Reeve informed Council that he asked the CAO to separate Planning and Development from the Administrative Report because they have lots of planning and development issues requiring it to be its own report.
Highwood Beach Drainage
The CAO contacted the Yorkton Water Security Agency (WSA) regarding Brent Smith’s development at Highwood Beach. The issue arose after Wayne Bell presented to Council as a delegation on water drainage issues he said he was having due to Smith’s development above his property. At the delegation, he informed Council the RM had installed a drainage line into his system without his permission. In December, the RM uninstalled the line.
