He said the Township pays more than half a million dollars in insurance premiums every year, which is four times higher than in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;To minimize the assessed risk of liability by insurance providers and keep premiums as low as possible, staff report on measures taken by the Township to mitigate the risk of potential claims. These license agreements are among the measures the Township has implemented in recent years to protect taxpayers against potential claims and the associated rising insurance costs,&#8221; noted Lake of Bays Mayor Terry Glover via previous email correspondence with Doppler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But former Township mayors say unopened road allowances were never an issue during their mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former Lake of Bays mayor, lawyer, and long-time resident Tom Pinckard questioned what portion of the municipality&#8217;s insurance premium is attributable to unopened road allowances. &#8220;The question would be if we implement this program to limit our liability&#8230; how much would our insurance premium go down?&#8221; He said while he has an affinity for the current council, trying to implement a road license agreement program is regressive. He said a legal search did not result in any lawsuits being filed in court in Ontario related to such road allowances and reiterated that they were never a problem during his mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;What is the problem we&#8217;re trying to solve here,&#8221; he questioned, adding that the municipality should &#8220;cease and desist and go back to what they had before, which worked fine.&#8221; Up until last year, anyone who wanted to put a road on an opened road allowance had to enter into an agreement with the municipality. Anyone else who crossed an unopened road allowance was able to do so without issue, and people have been doing that for more than a century, he noted. Some cross private property several times. Does that mean you need a license for every instance where they cross the same private property? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pinckard said the proposed road license agreement does not run with the property but with an individual and is not transferable, which makes it hard to sell a property with no access. The agreement also states that the license can be revoked at any time. &#8220;So that&#8217;s the nuances of law that are overlayed in here that nobody&#8217;s addressed yet. Frankly, I&#8217;m a fan of this council, a fan of this mayor, and I think they&#8217;ll get it right. I hope to hell they get it right.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former Lake of Bays Mayor Bob Young said the numerous unopened road allowances located throughout the municipality were never an issue during his term of council either. He said each circumstance was treated individually. &#8220;We dealt with the issues when they came up. We didn&#8217;t have, I think, a hard-written policy like the one they put in place. It was fairly simple. If somebody had a real need to use a road allowance (except one going to water) then we worked with them to lease it out,&#8221; he recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This current administration and I don&#8217;t know who was in the back of it, whether it was the mayor or the CAO, has been totally driven by liability insurance. If there&#8217;s even a whiff, they go into abject panic. My big concern was back at the Dorset Pavilion Park; remember, we lost that because they were so worried about liability. You know insurance is there for a purpose, advisors are there to advise, but we don&#8217;t have to kowtow to them,&#8221; said Young, adding that the municipality should be focused on how they can help people enjoy their property &#8220;and just help them.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the August 13 Council meeting, Lake of Bays Councillor Nancy Tapley brought forward a notice of motion to establish a moratorium on the license requirements, noting that the Township did not solicit input from those who would be affected and said it was put in place too quickly and it represented an exorbitant cost for some people.\u201d In the end, council agreed to put a moratorium on the required road license agreements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A public meeting on the issue was held on September 9, 2024, which packed the council chambers. You can watch it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/Jex6FIAUh2s\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">HERE<\/span><\/a> and comments received <a href=\"https:\/\/lakeofbays.civicweb.net\/document\/98993\/#:~:text=5-,COMMUNICATIONITEMS,-4-5\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">HERE<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayor Glover told Doppler the municipality is working on the issue and reviewing the community&#8217;s feedback and concerns. &#8220;We&#8217;ve got people working on it. There&#8217;s no update yet. I mean, it&#8217;ll come soon enough, but there&#8217;s nothing now,&#8221; he explained. The moratorium is set to be concluded on February 11, 2025, but the Mayor hopes to have more information sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It appears Lake of Bays Council may have opened a can of worms when it decided to require residents who use unopened road allowance to access their property to acquire [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":181501,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-181500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
