goal in pursuing a municipal complex is to construct an efficiently designed building at a reasonable cost with out borrowing money according to Ross Knechtel Response to Elliott Knechtel released a prepared statement to this newspaper Monday night responding to published observations made by Norm Elliott chairman of a group of Halton Hills citizens this issue Elliott was commenting about the future course of lion set out by council new build ng and property committee Armstrong comments too Also Monday night Councillor Mike Arm strong asked Mayor Russ Miller to Elliott about his concerns and invite him to come to council Knechtel says As a member of council who has not been a member of the commit tecs Involved with the proposed municipal complex I d like to make some relevant comments regarding the article in last week paper Principle not articulated well Ever since council has been considering a new municipal building some years now there has always been an important principle in the background It true that this principle has not been well articulated but it has been on important guideline in our considerations This principle might be stated in these terms Let try and build a building of efficient design with reasonable cost ana let try to avoid borrowing money to pay for it Building Inadequacies We now have the Robbie report which documents the Inadequacies and the tin satisfactory state of the existing premises It also found the present Trafalgar Rd site is unsatisfactory as a building site The next step was to secure an alternative site Likely no cost to Town We now have this the Stevens estate The purchase of this property does offer a reasonable opportunity to use an excellent No decision on councils location very probably at no cost to the the site itself Some lime until building The next step of designing and building is not likely to be done for some time This is part of our plan to minimize or indeed avoid borrowing any money Temporary re- arrangements Because of this delay we probably mil have to make temporary re- arrangements and some alterations in our existing office locations I see nothing wrong or unreason able with thssiluation Comical councillors To my friend Norm Elliott this pro is comical Perhaps it may ap pear so However our basic concern is to provide a very much needed building at a minimum of cost to the taxpayer If that makes me a comical councillor then I m happy to be so designated distraught Armstrong wondered if Elliotts com ments had been taken out context and said he was distraught to read them He said he took exception to Elliott com ing to council for the Library Board for money but in this case he come to council He concluded if Elliott had concerns Councillor Finn and his commit tee members would be happy to answer them Utile Tiffany shown here with her parents Jack and Anita has Cystic Fibrosis and o must take all that medication yon sec in the forefront of this photo Cystic Fibrosis campaign
