Rossburn council outlines deficits and by law plans
The 1985 council notes an anticipated $20,000 operating deficit and states that any excess of expenditures over revenues must receive ministerial approval, with the deficit to be recovered by 1986. They buy $9,215.22 worth of Motorola radio equipment for the fire dept and seek cost sharing and ministerial approval to use reserve funds. The RM will join the 1986 Pesticide Program and consider spraying crop destroying insects. Members attend the Manitoba Municipalities convention, and offices close Dec 23–27 and Jan 7 for holidays. A Ducks Unlimited project prompts a request for a full explanation and a guest from Ducks Unlimited to attend the next meeting. The council donates $75 to a nurses’ association chapter. Accounts are approved for payment. Interpretations on hay damage and water flow prompt petitions and road improvements requests. Ministers Plohman and Storie discuss municipal concerns.
