7:15 PM – Peter Lemon- Request for Assistance – Maritime Memorial of the
Upper Lakes
Mr. Lemon made a presentation to Council regarding the proposed Maritime
Memorial of the Upper Lakes.
It has been identified that Captain Owen’s landing place was Cobble Beach.
Two survey points have been located at Cobble Beach and preserved in their
original condition. This has been confirmed by an archeologist and Royal Navy
Charts.
Mr. Lemon noted that in order to interpret Owen Sound’s maritime history, it is
necessary to interpret Georgian Bluff’s coastal heritage as well.
The Maritime Memorial will increase tourism and tourist dollars.
Under the rules of Trillium, Owen Sound is too large to apply for funding.
Georgian Bluffs is under the 20,000 residents level so the township can apply for
the Maritime Memorial of the Upper Lakes.
In order to meet the requirements of Trillium, Mr. Lemon is requesting that three
full voting members of the Maritime Memorial of the Upper Lakes Committee
must be appointed by Georgian Bluffs.
If Trillium funding is approved, all those funds would go to Georgian Bluffs. Only
funds received may be dispersed provided they are a part of the approved
budget.
Following the appointment of three members to the Committee, an application
would be made to Trillium to register Georgian Bluffs.
The grant will be applied to the memorial and plaques.
Council thanked Mr. Lemon for this presentation.
The selection of the appointees were discussed by Council.
The appointees will be Councillor Wiley, Councillor Carleton and Mayor Barfoot.
This will be brought forward as a motion to the next Council meeting.

Currently, the Township has a website that was created by and hosted by
Have1.com since 2009.
3|Page
April 13, 2016
This website is not user friendly for staff and/or visitors. It is cluttered and hard to
navigate and search for a particular item. It is difficult for staff to make changes,
add in new material or delete outdated information.
The Township website was used as an example at a Social Media workshop on
how a website should not look or be designed. The website is also hard to view
on mobile devices.
Staff provided examples of award winning sites as well as a draft RFP.
Council directed staff to send out the RFP for a new website design.
2) CL.16.22 – Hepworth Shallow Lake Rotary Club
The Hepworth Shallow Lake Rotary Club is requesting the use of the meeting
room and kitchen at the Shallow Lake Community Centre in exchange for an
annual donation.
The Rotary Club’s meetings have been an ongoing activity, but have “booked”
through the Township. If this agreement is entered into with the Club, the facility
would be reserved on behalf of the Club. The Hepworth Shallow Lake Rotary
Club would make a donation by cash or “in kind” donations for the use of the
meeting room and kitchen. These “in kind” donations must be pre-approved by
Council.
To date, the Club has provided a storage building on the playground as well as
picnic tables and lettering for the Community Centre. They have also donated
$3,000 towards the facility.
Council directed staff to include a paragraph that the donation be an approximate
value to the cost of the rental for the year.
3) CL.16.23 – Temporary Airport Entrance Sign
In an effort to promote the airport and tourism, a new sign is required for the
entrance to the airport. This sign will also indicate that the airport is now in the
sole ownership of the Township.
Staff prepared a report for the Advisory Committee. The Committee
recommended that Austin Graphics be appointed to produce a temporary sign.
Staff created a basic outline of a sign for the entrance. It was recommended that
this proposed design be forwarded to the Committee of the Whole for their
approval.
The cost to design, and install the sign will be $820.00 plus HST. This will be
funded from the Airport 2016 Operating Budget.
The Committee of the Whole received the report and recommended to Council to
award the production of the temporary airport entrance sign to Austin Graphics at
a cost of $820.00 plus HST. This cost includes design, setup and installation.

4) CL.16.24 – Big Bay Memorial Wall
Jim Halliday and Edith Galloway have offered to convey a portion of their lands to
the Township for the provision of a Memorial Wall and garden at Big Bay
Cemetery.
To finish this project, the Township must complete the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Complete the deed registration and send a copy of the survey to the
Bereavement Authority of Ontario as there will be a new structure within the
cemetery. The Authority will issue a “Certificate of Consent”;
Once the “Certificate of Consent” is completed, amend By-law 80-2012 –
Cemetery By-law to allow for the memorial wall;
Decide on the fee to be charged for the inscription of the name on the wall;
Amend the Fees and Charges By-law; and
Install a fence on the northern boundary of the existing cemetery and new
addition.
Staff is recommending that as this is a memorial wall, only those people that
have passed will have their names on the wall.
The following financial items need to be considered:
•
•
•
•
Cost of the registration of the deed – funded from the 2016 Operating Budget.
Stone engraving – user pay – no cost to the Township.
Removal and replacement of old fence (north side) – funder from the Georgian
Bluffs Parkland Reserve Fund.
That a fee of $120.00 be charged to be placed in a fund for future maintenance.
Council directed staff to bring the fee of $120.00 for future maintenance forward
as an amendment to the Fees and Services By-law.
5) CL.16.25 – Dog Tag Contractor
Council had requested that a contractor be hired to go door-to-door to sell dog
tags.
The Deputy Clerk placed an advertisement in the Wiarton Echo and Owen Sound
Sun Times as well as on the Township website. This request was for quotations
from interested persons to go door-to-door selling dog tags to the residents of the
Township of Georgian Bluffs between April 1st and May 15th, 2016.
No proposals were received.
Staff is recommending that the position be re-posted with advertisements being
placed on the Canada Job Bank as well as the YMCA Employment Agency for
greater exposure.
The advertisement has been re-designed with a new time period for collecting
tags. This may make it more appealing for applicants so they are not travelling in
winter months. A draft was available for Council’s consideration.
Council directed staff to place the advertisement in the local newspapers.
