Another public meeting on ex- pansion plans for Halton Region’s water treatment plant near Georgetown’s Cedarvale Park may be required, Halton Hills Coun- cillor Marilyn Serjeantson said Thursday. The councillor, one of Halton Bei and chairman of e ferionet pl uae and public works standing committee, has asked regional staff to return to Georgetown to further discuss what she describes as ‘‘a sensitive issue’. “T have talked to regional staff and there’s agreement to do it (hold another open house);’ Serjeantson said. ‘‘It’s possible they might come back for the public meeting anda eet to Halton Hills Council by Jul; The regional eee 's infor- mal request for a second meetin; was sparked by a short but heated exchange between Serjeantson and Councillor Gail Rutherford at last Monday’s meeting of Halton Hills Council. Rutherford told council last week she is “furious that we don’t know more about the Region’s plans for the plant?’ “The water plant is in one of our Souronmecnt ally sensitive areas,’ she said. ‘I want regional staff here at I want the public to know about it (the open house)?” Rutherford said she and most other members of Halton Hills Council were not aware of an open house June 17 that the Region held in Georgetown, about the plant. + " a a SIE aS eS 55 Sinclair Ave., Unit#5 877-2425 Electroni rvi VCRs * Home Stereo * Car Stereo Portables * and more & SERVING HALTON HILLS SINCE *offer valid while supplies last.

While the open house had been advertised in local papers, a con- sultant at the Region neglected to provide a notice of the meeting to Halton Hills municipal staff for circulation to council members, Serjeantson divulged Thursday when interviewed by Halton Hills This Week. “T would like to know why we didn’t get notice of the meeting;” Mayor Russ Miller said at council before directing town adminis- trator Dan Costea to get in touch with regional staff and request another public meeting. During last week’s council eting, Serjeantson admonished eae ist being, overly critical of the Re “All as eae is trying to do is improve water in the Georgetown area;’ the regional- council representative said. She suggested that ‘“‘a better relationship” between the Region and Halton Hills could be pro- moted if a less aggressive stance was taken, and Rutherford had said she ‘‘disapproved’’ of not be- ing informed of the meeting. Serjeantson said the water plant will not ‘‘double in size’? as Rutherford suggested at last week’s council meeting. Rather, it is ex- pected to grow about 25 per cent with the addition of a covered garage, showers and other amenities ‘‘to bring the facility up to provincial standards’ There are also plans to upgrade the plant by replacing filter beds. The Region isn’t required by law to hold a public meeting on its ex- pansion plans for the plant, Serjeantson said Thursday. However, because of the “whole sensitivity of the issue}? it did ar- range for a public meeting and advertised it, she stressed. wry) NW 48 MAIN ST., SOUTH, Georgetown Meeting all your travel needs AIRLINE TICKETS @ RAIL Tickets ¢ Causes ¢ Packace Tours * Car & HoTeL RENTAL VISIT OUR TRAVEL BOUTIQUE!
