A report recommending that the contract be awarded to Browning Ferris Industries (who presently collect collect household and commercial refuse refuse in Bowmanville, Newcastle Village Village and Orono) was approved at Monday's general purpose committee meeting. The annual cost of the contract contract is $80,816.88 ($6,734.74 per month). The committee's recommendation must now go to town council for approval. approval. The cost of the one-and-a-half months of collection in 1987, (approx- iecoHiE ■tfWrai imately five dollars a household) will be added onto the 1988 Courtice garbage garbage estimates in order to calculate the tax rate for garbage collection for next year. It was also agreed that BFI would work in conjunction with the town's public works department to determine determine the pick-up schedule and notify area residents by way of a letter as to the schedule and how much they will pay. The decision to go to municipal pick-up of garbage was based on several several factors, according to Mr. Gray. Based on the results of a survey of all the homes and businesses in the Courtice urban area in July 1987, it was determined that 21 percent were in favor of municipal collection, 21 percent preferred to remain with private private collection or personal disposal © and 51 percent didn't respond. Also taken into account was the recent recent shut down of the Darlington Landfill Site. The decreasing number of locations where refuse can be disposed disposed of has led to increased amounts of roadside litter, according to Mr. Gray. As well as increasing the costs of roadside maintenance the uncovered garbage "becomes a breeding place for disease and creates a danger to the health and well being of area residents residents and municipal employees engaged engaged in the cleanup operation", said the report. Furthermore, an increasing amount of garbage is being deposited in shopping mail parking lots, parks, schools, neighbouring municipalities, municipalities, and clothing drop off boxes. Councillors Consider Benefits of 911 While town councillors have decided decided to support in principle the 911 emergency phone system for Durham Region, they want further information information on the costs and additional staff requirements. "I'm all supportive of 911," said Newcastle Mayor John Winters. Still, he questioned how the town can "put it together at an affordable price", mentioning increased costs for the police, fire and ambulance forces. A report from Fire Chief Jim Aldridge Aldridge and Treasurer John Blanchard Blanchard presented to councillors at the general purpose and administration meeting on Monday, November 2, outlined outlined some of the costs and benefits to the Town of Newcastle. The Town of Newcastle would re ceive approximately $150,000 from the regional tax levy for the first year of operating costs, according to the report. "Additional direct costs to the Town of Newcastle would relate to the need to establish and man a Central Central Dispatch Centre," said the report. report. The one time startup costs for the Dispatch Centre would be $50,000. Once established, the yearly costs for the Centre would be approximately approximately $50,000 more than the present system, because of the increased wages and equipment rental and maintenance. Some of these costs could be offset in the overall improvement of the system, system, including: the availability of the dispatch service to all town depart ment telephones after hours to deal with municipal residents' concerns as well as offering the service to local Public Utilities, Ontario Hydro, etc., for after hours calls, as in other municipalities. municipalities. It was pointed out in the report that many Town of Newcastle residents work in areas (such as Toronto) that offer the emergency 911 service and therefore are used to having the service service at certain times. The installation of the 911 system would eliminate any confusion about what emergency number to use. Other advantages include: fast accessibility accessibility to service; no coins are required required to dial from a pay phone; improvement improvement of the overall co-ordination co-ordination of emergency facilities; and increased increased community awareness and Council Weighs by Carolyn Hepburn Town councillors will be seeking legal advice on how to proceed with their intended opposition to the proposed expansion of a landfill site north of Newtonville. While town council l\as gone on record record as being opposed to the expansion expansion and possible creation of a regional regional landfill site at the location, the town has been asked by the Durham Region to comment on the official plan amendment for the landfill site. "Legally they have an application before us and it must be processed," said Councillor Diane Hamre. "We'd all like to tell them to go fly a kite," she added. The application for a 116 acre expansion expansion for landfill purposes came before councillors shortly after Laid- law Waste Management Systems bought the property on Part Lots 11 and 12, Concession 3, north of Newtonville, Newtonville, earlier this year. Newcastle Mayor John Winters thinks that the town should be seek ing legal counsel about their future opposition to the landfill proposal. "You can bet your life that they're going to be doing their homework," said Mayor Winters, referring to the reports prepared in respect to the regional regional official plan amendment. Terry Edwards, Director of Planning, Planning, brought a report to councillors at the general purpose and administration administration meeting on Monday, November November 2, that recommended engaging the services of a hydrogeological firm at a cost of $2,500 to review the technical technical submissions on the landfill site proposal. "I'm not prepared to accept technological reports on face value," Mr. Edwards told councillors in explaining explaining the need for a separate review review of the findings. "We need an independent unbiased unbiased opinion," he added. While the motion passed at the meeting earlier this week contained provision for hiring an independent l I consultant and seeking legal counsel, it was agreed that the legal advice would be sought first. Mayor Winters questioned the whole discussion of the issue. "I'm really surprised at the discussions," discussions," he said. Referring Id the town's earlier opposition opposition to a proposed Eldorado waste management site, Mayor Winters Winters explained that the first thing the town did was seek a legal opinion. Councillor Hamre wanted to see both options of seeking legal advice and hiring an independent consultant consultant implemented at the same time. "Instead of hitting them with one stick, hit them with two," she said. "We need a good technical report as to why we are opposed," said Councillor Councillor Hamre.

Here, workers put the final touches on the cupola, which will be the crown of the town hall edifice when it is completed in March. involvment in reporting emergency incidents. Mayor Winters is concerned about giving the public the impression of immediate attention and not having the manpower to follow up. "We're going to be misguiding if we create this impression and don't have the back up," said Mayor Winters.

Durham Region's planning committee committee played host to the consultant working on the GO extension at a rnYctkigheld on Tuesday, October 25. : Votin'Williams,i of M.M. .DillJjn Ltd:, l. r Vd the planning committee that the recommended route will be the third alternative, which follows the CN tracks from the Whitby station, crosses under Highway 401 at Thornton Road and heads north to the CP tracks with a station at Stevenson Stevenson Road and Gibb Street. The route will then continue along the CP tracks to a final station east of the Holiday Inn on Bloor Street in Oshawa.
