Curator’s Report is attached A discussion took place regarding staff requirements for maintaining the washroom facilities in the park and at the pond. MOTION: Moved by Peter Ryan, Seconded by Christine Kirby, regarding the situation of the washroom facility in Memorial Park, we wish to continue to provide access during museum open hours, but the maintenance/cleaning is not our responsibility. And, we respectfully decline to get involved with the pond washroom. Summer students, Sarah Timmins and Kira Wright reported their project work to the Board. 6. Committee Reports 6.1 Health and Safety Report: Peter’s report included light fixtures not working in gallery space. The Board agreed an electrician should be called in. The eavestrough on the pavilion has been damaged and probably needs replaced. The garbage bin at the pavilion is now gone. There are plenty of weeds around the building which need attended to. Curator will look into the lights, and the garbage and the Board agreed to schedule a work party to tackle the weeds and have a look at the eavestrough. Resolution Page 5 of 59 6.2 Garden update – Christine reported, please see attached. Kevin volunteered to provide a screen for the water barrel so it can be used and not confused as a garbage bin. The water barrel will remain in the shed until the screen is attached. 7. New Business 7.1 The Board agreed that having the Curator as the secretary may not be the best situation as the Curator reports to the Board and logistically is sometimes called away during the meetings. Lynn generously agreed to take over the role for the time being. 7.2 Stewart will take his fax machine back and the other expired equipment will be disposed of at a recycling depot. 7.3 The Fire Safety Inspection Report was received and reviewed. MOTION: Moved by Stewart Halliday, Seconded by Jan Trimble, that the Fire Safety Inspection Report was read, reviewed and accepted.

Next meeting: Thursday July 8th, 2pm The meeting adjourned at 3:50pm. ____________________________________ ________________________________ Colleen Boer, Chair Sarah Redmond, Secretary Minutes prepared June 19th 2010 Resolution Page 6 of 59 Grey Highlands= South Grey Museum Curator=s Report June 10th 2010 Board Meeting Education/Programming: 1.

    Elevating and Amusement Devices Ref. No.: Rev. No.: Safety Division 169 / 02 1 Date: Date: DIRECTOR’S ORDER February 14, 2002 March 5, 2003 IN THE MATTER OF: THE TECHNICAL STANDARDS AND SAFETY ACT 2000, S.O. 2000, c. 16 - and - ONTARIO REGULATION 209/01 made under the Technical Standards and Safety Act 2000 (Elevating Devices) Subject: Periodic Engineering Review and Assessment of Above-surface Passenger Ropeways Sent to: All Contractors in Group 8 and Consultants 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 General The Elevating Devices Regulation made under the Technical Standards and Safety Act (TSS Act) adopts the Elevating Devices Code Adoption Document (CAD). This bulletin is prepared in keeping with the Section 24 of the CAD that reads: “Every above-surface passenger ropeway shall be subjected periodically to a complete engineering review and assessment to ensure its continued operational safety in accordance with guidelines set by the director.” Section 24 of the CAD is intended to deal with the impact on the safety of above-surface passenger ropeway as a result of its age. Even though a ropeway is maintained to keep up with its original or current design/manufacturing specification during its life, over the period of time the following elements will still weaken parts of the ropeway that can fail accidentally: Fatigue and vibration of both moving components and fixed structures causing cracks and fractures of connections and parent metal; and Environmental factors like snow, ice, rain, temperature, humidity, and dust causing corrosion and deterioration of structural, mechanical and electrical components. Above-surface passenger ropeways include those ropeways on which the passengers are transported in rope-supported carriers and are not in contact with the ground or snow surface.
