9:30 am - Wayne Hildebrand presented to Council some conservation corridor concerns adjacent to his property, specifically in regards to a neighbor’s mowing & disregard of the area. He suggested Council should actively enforce the conservation corridor by-law, a permit system which allows mowing when it is agreed by council. Council, after investigating the matter including interviewing neighbours, do not feel there is a case to be enforced. They will follow up with Mr. Hildebrand regarding their findings.
9:45 am - Staff Sergeant Clint Wikander presented his quarterly crime report to Council’s attention. He brought out that 91 speeding tickets had been issued in two days near the intersection of hwys.1 & 5, where the speed limit changes from 110 to 100 km/hr. There have been 194 more traffic tickets issued this quarter compared to the last quarter. Many areas, such as 911 calls, assaults & thefts have shown a decline. Overall the stats are good. Sergeant Wikander also explained that although the detachment shares information with the Conservation Dept., both organizations have limited resources. He also reported when asked about the availability of drugs in Brandon that there is an abundance, including Fentanyl.
