Huntsville - Lake of Bays Lakes Council

 

 

Summary of September 2, 2008 District Council meeting on Debt Reduction The Council meeting adjourned to a Committee of the Whole meeting to deal with the budget recommendations put forward by Stephen Cairns, Commissioner of Finance and Corporate Services, in his July 4, 2008 Debt Reduction Initiative report. Please refer to the attachement for a summary of the meeting.  (M.McCulley, 8/9/2008)

Gord Adams Chair District of Muskoka Dear Mr. Adams: Re: Sewer and Water Debt As you may be aware, the members of the Huntsville Lakes Council are lake associations. As such, most of us are waterfront residents. We are strongly opposed to any downloading of sewer and water costs for a variety of reasons. MPAC figures show a median assessment growth of 45 percent since 2005. A report commissioned by WRAFT/CAPTR from Cushman & Wakefield Lepage compared sales of properties in the last quarter of 2004 with the last quarter of 2007 for Muskoka/Haliburton.

Fairy Lake Report on Water Levels

 

June 10, 2007

 

Fairy Lake Property Owners:

 

________Lake Report on Water Levels June 20, 2007 ______ Lake Property Owners: Huntsville Lakes Council has been trying to form a co-operative effort with various lakes in the Huntsville area that have been experiencing problems due to high water levels. Earlier this year, HLC contacted all member lake associations, asking if they wished to be involved in this process. Mary Lake's issues have become public through the press over the past year. District Councillor, George Young also has concerns about the erosion on the Muskoka River in the Brunel Locks region of the river.

Hello all again,

I inadvertently left Fairy Lake's name off the list of lakes below that were working together on this issue. Sorry!

Elaine

Navigation Buoys report for July 5, 2007 meeting After the HLC meeting with the mayor and affected lakes on May 12th, Rob Laver of Lake Vernon has been working with Pipefusion to come up with our own locally-produced and hence much less expensive navigational buoys. He reports that Pipefusion will prepare, for feasibility testing at no charge, 2 navigation buoys for the HLC. Rob suggests that these be put at the Vernon Narrows bridge and at Camp Kitchen to provide the most exposure - and perhaps feedback from boaters. Any comments?
