 DELEGATION:       2:00 PM – Tracy Grexton-Van Wynsberghe/Mines Branch
                                   2:30 PM – Daniel Stanley/Fence

2:00 PM – Tracy Grexton-Van Wynsberghe, Mines Inspector with Manitoba Innovation, Energy and Mines attended to review with the Council what they do.  She is one of four inspectors in the province doing both above ground and quarry inspections.  All pits and quarry operations must be registered annually; all operators must register prior to commencement of mining each year and submit a report of quantity produced with a payment of 10 cents per tonne which is used for rehabilitation.  Rehabilitation work done in 2009 consisted of 122 sites, 423 hectares costing $12,294,285.  If possible, they hire contractors locally, who are required to be course certified, to do the work. 

2:30 PM – Daniel Stanley attended to discuss, in person, his concerns of approximately 600 feet of fence plowed down by the grader back in the winter of 2008-2009, the lack of previous road maintenance around the time of the annexation (high praises for the operator this winter) and a culvert in need of repair.  The fence, the RM feels, was on road allowance, and therefore is not responsible.  Mr. Stanley feels it is up to the RM to make sure fences are placed in the proper location, or after a certain length of time, their location becomes law.  He is requesting Council reimburse him for the fence plus his time for snow removal and gravelling the road.
