TO: Members of Council
FROM: Mayor Garnet B. Rickard
DATE: September 21st, 1979
SUBJECT: Hampton Mill Pond
On Thursday, September 19th, 1979,I convened a meeting in the Bell
Building Committee Room to discuss the hazardous condition of the
road across the mill pond in Hampton, a condition that has been caused
by water seeping through next to the dam and bridge structure.
This road has been closed by the Town's Public Works Department, thus
creating inconvenience for the Citizens of Hampton, the School Board,
Postal Office and others.
The following were invited to attend the meeting:
Councillor Ivan Hobbs, Chairman Public Works Committee
Mr. Jack Dunham, Director of Public Works
Mr. Albert Guiler, Town Manager
Councillor Ann Cowman, Representative on C.L.O.C.A.
Councillor Jasper Holliday, Representative on C.L.O.C.A.
Mr. A. Thompson, Chairman of the Northumberland and Newcastle
Board of Education
Mr. Sid Worden, Board Representative, Ward 1
Mr. A. Werry, Board Representative, Ward 1
Mr. D. Siston, Director, Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education
Mr. John Goodwin, Chairman of C.L.O.C.A.
Mr. William Campbell, General Manager of C.L.O.C.A.
All were present except Councillor Hobbs who had other
commitments.
A good and thorough discussion took place reviewing the facts leading
up to the present situation. It became quite evident that a completely
satisfactory solution will take some time. However, to resolve the
problems of the Citizens, School Board and others, some immediate action
is necessary.
I would, therefore, recommend that the Town convene a meeting in Hampton
with the various agencies involved with the objective of resolving the
problems associated with the road and Mill Pond.
