Warden Joanne Ross-Zuj told county council on Oct. 29 that officials are proceeding with the anti-fortification bylaw.
The county has been working on a bylaw that would prevent outlaw motorcycle gangs from fortifying their clubhouses, but the Police Services Board has run into concerns from building officials who feared they might have to enforce that bylaw on their own.
Police have assured them that will not be the case, and they are working together to complete a final draft of a bylaw for consideration.
“We’re making progress with having that addressed,” Ross-Zuj told council.
County OPP Inspector Scott Smith told the board that he is scheduled to make presentations about the bylaw to Guelph-Eramosa council in December.
Smith will respond to a request from Wellington North Township council to consider a county-wide sidewalk bylaw prohibiting skateboards and bicycles. That council is being asked to make a formal presentation to the Police Services Board to discuss that bylaw.
