Spring 2017 Meeting

The next meeting of the Buckhorn and Area Ratepayers will be held at the BCC on June 6th.  Our guest speakers will be the new warden of the county  Mr. Joe Taylor. He will be speaking to the role of the county in co-operation with our twp. He will be well worth listening to.  He will be followed by a short update from Judy, the Manager of the BCC.  Many people will not know of the extensive role the BCC plays in our community.  The formal meeting will start at 7 p.m. but a short annual meeting will commence at 6:15 to hopefully get more people to take an active role or to make suggestions.  Also your memberships renewal is due and the $20. Membership fee can be dropped off at the BCC.
We are active but need more representation.  It appears that we are having an effect on the decision of the twp to build a new roads dept.  The cost of 5 million dollars is very sobering not to mention the extent of our roads network.
I don’t feel I am the best chair of this association, but I will serve tell somebody else steps up.
The Schinski’s have moved to Curve Lake.  Marnie Clement is doing an excellent job of reporting on council issues and this is very helpful.  I know some of our members are distributing her reports to other groups they are associated with.  We are very lucky to have her on board.
As previously reported the roadside clean up captured approx. 25 bags of waste and recyclables.  Well done.  We could have used more hands. In future if you wish to volunteer we will make the equipment available the week before for people to do a portion of the road at their convenience.  We would then pick up their collection.
Acting Chair,
Janet Clarkson

BUCKHORN COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN MEETING

BUCKHORN COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN

Attention all residents!

 

On April 19, 2016 at 1:00 pm at the Council Chambers of Trent Lakes, there will be a public meeting to discuss the Buckhorn Community Improvement Plan.

The purpose of the Community Improvement Plan is to establish a program for municipal financial incentives to encourage the rehabilitation and improvement of private lands and to coordinate public and private works in a way that will make the most efficient use of public infrastructure.  The policies in this plan would enable Council to offer financial incentives to private property owners.  These incentives are intended to encourage property owners to improve the appearance of their lands and buildings in accordance with guidelines adopted by Council.  The Community Improvement Plan also establishes a strategy for public works improvements for the community including walkways, streetscape improvements and landscaping.

When approved by Council, the plan would enable the Municipality to give financial incentives to building and business owners for improving landscaping; improvements to commercial buildings and replacing existing signs.

Any person may attend the public meeting and make written and/or verbal representation.  Additional information relating to the Community Improvement Plan is available for inspection at the Municipal office during regular office hours.
