We see singleâ€"tier waste manâ€" agement as a way to generate savings and produce more accountability," Rinaldo told the committee. A singleâ€"tier approach is expected to result in a minimum 10% savings, according to Leitch. The $340,000 of savings could be redirected into other programs or returned as a reduction in taxes, the committee heard. As integrated approach would result in a single collection for both garbage and blue box services, it would elimiâ€" nate duplication of regional and local service, and make it easier to reach the provincial standard of 50% of material diverted from landfills, according to the report. The plan calls for an integration of present services on Jan. 1st, 1995, with no change in the current garbage colâ€" lection system, unless locally deterâ€" mined, for a one year period. In addition, local costs will continue to determine charges, rather than creatâ€" ing a regionâ€"wide waste management levy. However, service levels will be evaluated and a regional standard eventually applied. Local municipaliâ€" ties could increase that level by paying the associated costs, the report says. As well, the region will investigate a userâ€"pay system to foster individual accountability for waste volumes. Committee members voiced several concerns on specifics of the plan, but were in general agreement. "It‘s critical that some specifics be spelled out before we go ahead with this," said Burlington councillor Bob Brechin. "We‘ve had a lot of trouble with yard and leaf waste, and we could turn the whole region into a trash bin if we‘re not careful. We can save that debate for another day."

Regional staff tried to lessen counâ€" cillors‘ concerns. Rinaldo downplayed reservations about the specifics of the plan, saying the yearâ€"long transition period would give council ample time to determine their direction. He also explained investigations into the user pay system did not commit Halton to it. Rinaldo added that he considered the savings estimate of 10% extremely conservative. Bonnette voiced his concerns of possible layoffs for current Halton Hills employees. "In the long term, we don‘t know exactly what will happen," said Leitch to questions of future employment and plan specifics. "Employees will have a oneâ€"year guarantee, which is better than any other municipal employee." "We didn‘t lay off due to social conâ€" tract cuts, I don‘t think we‘ll be forced to lay off because of this." Milton Mayor Gord Krantz raised the possibility of rural garbage collecâ€" tion, which Oakville currently proâ€" vides, saying there‘s "a good chance" Milton will implement a similar proâ€" gram. "I wholeheartedly support this move," said regional chair Peter Pomeroy. "This isn‘t for the faint of heart; there will be opposition. We can reduce costs without any magic at all. If we can‘t make local government $3 to 4â€" million more efficient, then we shouldn‘t be here." The proposal will be forwarded to area municipalities for their comments and then debated at regional council in September. â€" 4:00 p.m. Sponsor Heroes: KÂ¥ Fieldfresh KÂ¥ Teledirect KÂ¥ B B Decals ny community
