There was much discussion in regards to the passing of each motion as Mayor and Council exercised due diligence, weighing the consequences each motion might possibly incur to residents and/or the Township of Schreiber if they were (or were not) carried.  The only unfortunate circumstance to be noted at this meeting was a lack of publicinterest as I was the only member of the general public in attendance.  Council continued the remainder of the
meeting in closed session as is accepted when circumstances require.

Once carried and approved, minutes of Town Council Meetings are available to the public by visiting your local township office; OntarioNewsNorth.com
