other levels of government J Provide an estimate of the fees payable to undertake a proposed study based on above terms of reference Councillor Russ Miller questioned why Hills Hydro space needs were being included in tbe evaluation of the Trafalgar site Mayor Pete answered tbe Trafalgar pro perty will be examined for suitability with Hydro having space there as well as with Hydro locating elsewhere Since Town was looking ahead to its future needs Councillor Ross Knechtel thought the con should examine tbe need for space for technical equipment such as word processors and more computers He added a consultant with ex peruse in this area should be hired Councillor Harry Levy wondered why be pre sent Trafalgar Rd building was being examined when everyone knew It wouldn t house all the staff now that why municipal departments are scat tered He also said there was also no reference in the terms of reference to costs of running the Town He thought tbe consultants should be asked to compare tbe cost of maintaining departments in several buildings with lion of all departments under one roof The study of the Trafalgar evaluation will be of all the property the Town owns there not just the existing buildings Pomeroy explained cost efficiency of all depart will be reviewed and agreed the consultants should compare costs of the present system with consolidation Levy noted councillors and staff may not like hating departments scattered but that setup may be the beat in terms of cost efficiency Pomeroy observed total square needed can be applied to the Trafalgar property after Phase I There will be a rule of thumb to go by for costs and space after phase one Phase three will provide details of costs and space require ments Comparing the costs for the Town of the present system of housing departments with consolidation was very relcvent Councillor Marilyn Scr jeantson observed Pomeroy said sale of existing Town buildings and revenues from those sales if a new facility was built will also be examined lit noted councillors t professionals in the area of needs and cost efficiency so the terms of reference probably needed to be enlarged predicted the consultants making presentations will offer terms of reference said the terms of reference made it sound like Hydro Is involved in the municipal building system now so it should be pointed out to the consultant mis isnt the case two bodies are separate The building on Trafalgar currently houses staff members plus mayor and contains IS square feet- building Includes a 1 square toot council chambers and committee room and 750 square feet of storage space Drop interest a rate li per cent above the current prime rate that was in effect the day the bylaw was pass ed Once the rates are set for the year a new bylaw can be passed to lower the rate but not to Increase it even if the prime rates changes throughout the year As interest rates decline everywhere so does the penalty on overdue taxes
