informed of the plans suggested that abandon ed wayside pits and other leaseable open space be used for the event instead The local tiro chief has a special Interest in aclivi ties which take place in he forest Coun Johnson said and the town should have been made aware of the Associa tion plans Seek cost sharing Regional council wants Ihe province to force municipal Hies sharing the services of such facilities as the Sheridan Youlh Centre In Milton to pay for part of their costs loo More facilities like the centre and Women needed in the region council maintains but the province a community and social services ministry should insist that if they arc going to be used by nearby municipalities a cost sharing arrangement should be worked out with the region neighbors While the Sheridan Youth Association continues to negotiate for additional funding for its Milton centre with the province a community and social services ministry the region intends to make it clear to the government lhat it has already overspent ports of its daycare and general assistance budgets due to the Increasing demand for private home daycare can be met from other areas in Ihe daycare account but Juvenile committals and part time salaries have put considerable stress on the general assistance budget of which the province pays half In an effort avert a crisis regional council has agreed to formally point out the situation to the ministry Ron area manager for children services reporters following day council meeting that If the Association was forced to close youths would have no where else in Ihe regions lo go for en re and they would be sent to In more distant communities at considerably more expense to the taxpayer While he said regional coun cil appears to misunderstand Peel responsibility In aiding the Association Mr Clarke with its position that the onus for funding is square ly on the shoulders of the pro government and not municipalities However in order lo cut costs by imposing a salary freeze and trashing the Association mint system for granting raises its employees the ministry Is forcing Sheridan comply with less than ade quate standards We will not provide a substandard service Mr Clarke said It the first time the Associa tion has iiad to approach outside agencies for additional funding It Is ineligible for United Way money largely because It receives most of Its funding from ihe government and public appeals are lime- consuming and difficult for Association staffers who have to look after youths Despite charges from some councillors lhat Ignoring the Associations appeal for imme diate money Is irresponsib le to Ihe youths staying at the members agreed with Hills Coun Dave Whitings position thai Peel must contribute as well before releases the II would be short sighted to rest our decision on what Peel has done Burlington rep Dave La Combe said Mayor Harry Bar rctl claimed thai Ihe Associat ion was not in Jeopardy until mid March about two weeks before its new budget would be presented They re not desperate at this time he said We have lo give Peel time to come to the pumps Rut procedures involved closing the Association would be more tlmeconsum than that Mr Clarke pointed out later The agencies involved with the Association ihe Children Aid Society police and the courts would have to be notified and refer made elsewhere on behalf of he youths The ministry and th region should be building its juvenile services up and not down Mr Cox warned Within Ihe next two years the federal gov emment is expected lo pass a new Offenders Act
