"Let's begin the planning for the Scugog Centre," said Parks and rec committee chairman Marilyn Pearce who put the rec- ommendation in front of the coun- cil Monday afternoon. She said the cost of the schematic concept would be in the $6,000 range, half covered by a provincial grant, the rest from the parks dept. budget. The concept would identify site and servicing details, an overall floor plan, and preliminary archi- tectural elevations. The resolution also stressed thatghe facility must be phased and future planning for it must recognize the financial constraints of the 1990's. In a dis- cussion on this issue, councillor Pearce said ideally, the banquet facility would be built in the first phase and revenues generated from this could be used to finance other phases like the second ice and/or swimming peel. {The deed for these facilities in « Scugog was first identified five . feasibility study.

Councillors threw their unani- mous support behind the resolu- tion drafted by 'Ward 4 rep David Diedein. "If one of those (five Scugog) sites ends {ip on the so-called short list, the damage to the economy of the Township will be incalcula- ble," said councillor Dietlein dur- ing a discussion on this issue at a planning meeting Monday. The Interim Waste Authority (TWA) June 4 named five potential landfill sites in Scugog, three in Ward 1 and two in Ward 4. They are.among 17 sites in Durham Region. The IWA will narrow this "long list" to about five "short list" sites in September® "We (councillors) have to make a statement," Dietlein His resolution, notes that C| Scugog is highly dependent on tourism, 'and already the of the sites is having a detrimental impact onthe local economy. The resolution also questions the IWA's inclusion of Scpgog Township inthe "urban shadow," defined as an area in transition from rural to urban land uses. "Scugog is not in an urban shadow. It is rural," stated council- lor Dietlein. His resolution calls for exclu- sion of lands designated Permanent Agriculture Reserve from the dump site selection pro- cess.
