Adjournment Report to EDC - 2015-2 Title of Report: Economic Development brochures & “Welcome to Howick” signs From: Carol Watson, Recording Secretary Date: March 30, 2015 Recommendation: That the Committee direct staff to release “Request for Quotation” documents for printing Howick brochures and “Welcome to Howick” signs. Background: At the November 25, 2014 EDC meeting, the Committee recommended to Council that budgeting the cost and installation of two “Welcome to Howick” signs be considered during the 2015 budget discussions. At the January 27, 2015 EDC meeting, the Committee directed staff to look into the brochure prepared by Susan Watson while she was Economic Development Assistant for the Township of Howick. Staff Comments: The ED Committee believes that Welcome to Howick signs and brochures are very important. Staff recommends proceeding with these two projects by releasing “Request for Quotation” documents with a return date of May 15, 2015 at 12 noon. Financial Impact: The following resolution was passed at the February 3, 2015 Council meeting: “Be it resolved that Council approve the transfer of the 2014 remaining Economic Development budget in the amount of $3,342.81 into an Economic Development Reserves for future economic initiatives.” As per report to Council – Clerk-2015-01 presented at the January 13, 2015 Special Council meeting, the 2015 Economic Development budget of $5,000 has been split into three areas; salaries, benefits and other costs. The 2015 Board and Committee Meetings diem is $87.00 per meeting. Meetings are to be held every two months, therefore; approximately $525 should be budgeted per EDC member. Concluding Comments: When rfq are returned, the EDC can review the quotes and make a recommendation to Council that is within budget.

  • 1. Do You Have Any Examples Where a Dam Was Decommissioned but the Bridge -Atop the Dam Remained?
    379 Ronka Road Worthington, ON P0M3H0 [email protected] OntarioRiversAlliance.ca 10 October 2019 Howson Bridge and Dam Committee c/o Sean McGhee Director of Public Works Township of North Huron By email: [email protected] Dear Mr. McGhee: The Ontario Rivers Alliance (ORA) is a Not-for-Profit grassroots organization acting as a voice for several stewardships, organizations, and private and Indigenous members who have come together to protect, conserve and restore healthy riverine ecosystems. In response to your 23 September email, the ORA is pleased to provide the Howson Bridge and Dam Committee with answers to their questions as follows: 1. Do you have any examples where a dam was decommissioned but the bridge -atop the dam remained? There is a pedestrian bridge over top of the Listowel Dam. The stoplogs in the Listowel Dam were permanently removed in 2015. Following the removal of the stoplogs, heavy equipment was used to sculpt the banks and make a more gradual transition within the park to the restored river valley. In addition, a second bridge was added, facilitating a “looped” trail in the park. The Listowel Dam, with all the stoplogs in place. “A World of Healthy River Ecosystems” Page | 2 10 October 2019 The Listowel Dam and pedestrian bridge after the boards were removed and the construction was complete. Note the channel below the dam had been straight and now it includes a meander and riffle-pool sequence. Upstream of the dam, the park lands transition to the river’s edge. In the near future, the Municipality of North Perth is planning to remove the vertical concrete parts of the Listowel Dam but keep the abutments and pedestrian bridge.
