The campaign was aimed at forcing the councillor for that ward, Don Carter, who had voted in favor of MVA, to ask for a motion of reconsideration. In November, regional council passed a motion by Halton Hills councillor, Rick Bonnette, setting a date for the showdown on the issue. The date of Wednesday, Dec. 2nd, was chosen. Council voted later to change the meeting to a special evening session to give members of the public the opportunity to attend.

On Nov.17th, FORG (Federation of Oakville Residents Groups Inc.) held a public information meeting on regionâ€"wide MVA. The meeting attracted more than 300 Oakville residents affected by the new propâ€" erty tax system. Just five days before the Dec. 2nd showdown, Oakville residents are hopeful of a reprieve when regional chairman, Peter Pomeroy filed a notice of motion asking council to reconsider its earlier decision. â€" not 1988 â€" should be base vear when calcula Pomeroy‘s move is prompted by Ward 1 Oakville regional councillor Kevin Flynn, who filed his own notice of motion asking for a oneâ€" year deferral of MVA and the forâ€" mation of a citizens‘ advisory comâ€" mittee to investigate property tax assessment alternatives. On Dec. 2nd, more than 650 resâ€" idents crammed into the Halton Region auditorium for a special meeting on regionâ€"wide MVA that lasted until 3:30 a.m. the next mornâ€" ing. Council heard from 56 delegaâ€" _ D ‘92 hould be used as the n calculating property for the purposes of 8425061 tion MVA After hearing more than six hours of presentations from delegaâ€" tions and debating the issue for four At the same time, however, Harrigan announced Ford‘s plan to cut proâ€" duction at its truck plant by more than half, leaving only 800 workers in that plant. The company also announced plans to move its heavy truck operation to Kentucky, leaving only light trucks to be produced in Oakville. Around 700 truck plant employees were notified they would be moved to the adjacent auto assembly plant to help in the production of the new miniâ€" van. The move means deleting one of the two shifts at the truck plant. Ford Motor Company experienced a year of change in 1992, beginning with an April announcement that the company would invest $1 billion to reâ€"tool and reâ€"equip the Oakville plant to proâ€" f duce the new Win 88 minivan. Ford chairman, Ken Harrigan, announced that production of the minivan â€" slated to begin in late 1993 â€" would mean an addiâ€" tional 400 jobs at the plant, currently producing the Mercury Topaz and Ford Tempo. Harrigan‘s announcement came hard on the heels of an announcement of a possible $550â€"million deal for 65,000 Ford Tempos between Ford and FUNTAXI, Argentina‘s national taxi driver‘s association. The firm attempting to broker the deal, Phoenix Plus Inc., announced a visit to the South American country to secure financing for the deal. The deal never materialized, however. More good news followed in August, during the company‘s official opening of its new $439â€"million paint facility, which began operation in June. It was a good year for Ford workers On hand for the opening was Ontario Premier Bob Rae, who pledged more than $34 million to Ford for training and plant upgrades needed to produce the company‘s new Win 88 minivan. Of the total funding, $26.9 million in government contributions was to Ford‘s Oakville training centre, while $7.2 million is contributed for infrasâ€" tructure improvements at the paint facility and main assembly plant. In 1992, the company also announced that Harrigan, chairman and chief executive officer for 11 years, would retire in October. With the retirement, Harrigan ended a career that spanned 41 years at Ford. On Oct. 1st, Jim O‘Connor, 49, was officially named the company‘s new president and chief executive officer, after serving as president and chief operating officer for two years. O‘Connor‘s 28â€"year career with Ford Motor Company has included senior management positions in both the U.S. and Canada. He began his career in 1964 and progressed through a series of positions with both Ford and Lincolnâ€"Mercury divisions before coming to Ford of Canada in 1984. He returned to the U.S. as executive director, marketing staff from 1986 to 1988.
