WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1996 THE GEORGETOWN GEMINI Dump deal dies in veil of secrecy Cont. from Page 1 support. "We are in the quarry busi- ness not the landfill busi- ness," Burkart stressed." Burkart would not com- ment onarumoured clause in the deal that would see UAL take over both the Third Line and Regional Road 43, which run through the quarry, in exchange for giving the Town and Region approximately $50 million in aggregate to be mined from along those road allowances. "T can't comment on those figures at this stage -- that hasn't been agreed to, but we' ve agreed to sit down and sort it out." When asked what the Town had to give up to make the dump go away, Serjeantson, who called the deal a win-win situation, said, "[just] the chance to go to courtand spendmore money. I don't believe we've given up anything." "We got what we wanted and that's to stop the dump," Serjeantson said. The deal mustbe approved by the Consolidated Hearing Board, which has been deal- ing with RSI's proposal. The deal is not binding on other parties to that hearing, like the North Halton environ- mental group Protect Our Water and Environment Re- sources (P.O.W.E.R.) or the Niagara Escarpment Com- mission or Ministry of Envi- ronment or Energy, but Town counsel Stephen D' Agostino said that it was "theoretically possible but highly unlikely" that the hearing into the pro- posal would continue. When asked to comment on the deal, P.O. W.E.R. past- president Barbara Halsall said, "We would have pre- ferred to have had the oppor- tunity to comment on it be- fore it was a final agreement and I find this excessive se- curity downright strange." Council defers Lions Park report Town Councillors agreed to hold off debating options to make up for a park land defi- ciency in the Lions Park neighbourhood because area residents complained they had not received enough no- tice to prepare a response to the issue. Town of Halton Hills staff report that the neighbour- hood, bounded by Maple Avenue, Guelph Street, Main Street andthe C.N. Rail lands should have almost six acres of park land for the number of resident living in the area, but, in fact, it has only 2.3 acres, leaving a park land de- ficiency of 3.5 acres of park land.. Staff's suggestion to in- crease park land in the area, including use of the Memo- rial Arena site, will be dealt with at the first General Com- mittee meeting in October. when asked. Skateboarders bounced from JET 'No Skateboarding' signs will be posted at the Cultural Centre where skateboarders are using the wheelchair ramp to get their thrills. If the Town posts the prohibitive signs, then the skateboarders are required to leave Councillor Moya Johnson said she's received complaints from people living on Normandy Boulevard, where skateboarders from GDHS head during their lunch hour. "They leave their lunch garbage all over peoples' lawns and make a mess," she said. _ Connect Now!
