acfon wood products had received no answer yet from council on an offer to purchase property in the industrial park 1 find the issue important because the company is under pressure to expand said mr watzek a major account has advised the acton company to expand or lose their business expansion would mean is additional employee its a matter of extreme urgency and the company does not know what way to turn mayor lei duby answered that mr untemahrer was informed and no matter how urgent the wood products owner found the situation council could not beat all the red tape involved as well as many ramifications of which perhaps the chamber was not aware we cant proceed any tatter than we are proceeding he told the delegation things dont go like we want them to in the democratic process the mayor continued we are mil trying to get a majority vote of council to develop the property and something else hai come up in the last few davi well have to deliberate on the offer to purchase was nude many months ago the chamber spokesman said suggesting there was no excuse for the company not to have received an answer taxpayers money has been tied up in the industrial park for six years surely council has some tort of guide lines on which to proceed surely it doesnt need six years to come up with a decision councillor coats reminded the delegation of the difficulty in getting money to develop anything under the government s policy of cutting back the deputy reeve stated the companys offer did not cover costs and there were no funds available the clerk said the company had been satisfied their offer could not be accepted it appears lines of communication are tangled admitted mr watzek but said mr untemahrer would be willing to negotiate die chamber of commerce hat made a good point commented councillor matks i hope council this year can make up then minds there has been a breakdown of communication councillor mckenzie reminded the delegation there were mixed feeling on developing the park around the table and the democratic process complicated matters the mayor said the only criticism he hat is the length of time it takes to make a decision and all things have to gel approval from higher bodies 1 with more citizens knew llni the deputyreeve told the delegation acton wood products watnt the only firm patiently waiting for development of the park there are four other parties he asserted mr watzek wasnt impressed were full of good intentions but maybe in five yean we could still be here bringing up the issue costs continue to rise he said and if council continued to procrastinate cottt may double surely no one here would invest hit personal funds as council did he said its not businesslike the reeve said provincial government policy was making
