THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 2004 THE NEW TANNER il Fair boards By FRANCES NIBLOCK The New Tanner Town Council's debate on plans to prevent another inci- dent like the Georgetown Fall Fair melee, when rock throw- ing youths met rubber bullet-firing police, has been deferred until the end of the month. Acton Councillor Mike O'Leary asked for the defer- ral at last week's council meeting after executive of the Acton and Georgetown Fall Fairs told him they wanted the opportunity to give more in- put into the proposed security plans. He said Acton Agricultural Society was not included in six focus groups run by the Town to gather community input for new security measures and procedures after _ the Georgetown incident. Questioned if the delay would affect other scheduled events, O' Leary said those he spoke to were eager to get something in place by the end of the month. "It was more a case of look- _ it did work last year -- ing at some of the recommen- dations in this report, that some of the people I spoke to, didn't feel should be applica- ble, nor would it address the cause of the problem," O' Leary said. ° Mayor Rick Bonnette sug- gested the timing for the ad hoc committee's work would have to be "down and dirty." "T really hope we can put this together by June, because I think you do have some (Georgetown fairgrounds) neighbours ...a lot of neigh- bours do have concerns," Bonnette said, adding they need to engage the groups, makes some decisions and move on. One of the security items suggested involves installing double perimeter security fencing at the Acton and Georgetown Fall Fairs and at the Georgetown Highland Games, at a cost of $10,000, money well spent according to O'Leary. "T am involved in the secu- rity at the Acton Fall Fair and it isa good idea."

Acton * 853-4359 * tremblay.decorating@ bellnet.ca want security input Organizers required to in- stall double perimeter fencing could apply to the Town's community affairs committee for funds to cover the fencing. The new special event secu- rity measures would require event organizers to attend a comprehensive review meet- ing with all approval agencies to outline conditions of ap- proval, including duty police requirements, perimeter con- trols, exit and entrance conditions and. dissipation strategies. The policy requires signs at entrances to events notifying people that organizers have the right to search personal bags as a condition of entry, and gives Halton police the authority to enforce the Town's parks bylaw.
