Any ratepayer can access the Village tractor and trailer, with a few conditions. It is to be used for transporting logs, brush, flowers, light loads of soil, etc. Nothing heavy. It will be operated by any of the Councillors, the Mayor or the Maintenance Foreman. It can be scheduled with a phone call to any of the Councillors or the Mayor. Cost is $60/hr with a minimum of a one hour charge.
If anyone has any golf balls that are not suitable for the course, we could use them for the mini-golf. Thanks!
