He felt it perhaps unfair to pick on one service to attach such a fee. Mr. Haws said he had asked a year ago that that matter be brought before Council. However, he continued that the motion was only a difference in the amount of fees. Stan Long explained to Council it now has a motion before it to adopt a resolution and has been offered an amendment. The Chair has made a ruling which has been challenged. Council needs a vote on that challenge to know whether or not the amendment is before it. He clarified the vote on a challenge of the ruling of the Chair was nondebatable and would pass by a simple majority. Council was voting on the motion "should the ruling of the Chair be sustained." Vote was taken on the motion, which passed with Hamel, Williams, and Smith voting aye; Haws, Delay, and Lieuallen voting no; and Mayor Keller voting aye to break the tie. Mr. Delay noted he would like to address the question of what the fees ought to be at in terms of the perentages some time as this is a signifi- cant expense and he was not sure it should be subsidized. Vote was taken on the main motion, which carried unanimously. - A short recess was taken. Mr. Haws left the meeting. VIII.
