councillor ByBENDUMMETT The Herald Halton Hills general committee recommended Monday night to spend for a report detailing how much more staff the town will need to administer anticipated population growth despite objec tions from councillor AI Cook The consultants report will just tell us the town we need more staff which means spending more money said the councillor We don need to spend to get help to plan te town But Mayor Miller argued it not possible with the town existing staff to do such a com long range plan Strategic and long range ing is seen by your the town s ad ministration as a most important step to be taken in as it relates to the future direction of the town admimstravely and to it long term goals and objectives the town Administrator Clerk Dan Costea argued in a report submit ted to general committee Monday night Town councillors make up the general committee The still has to go before council next Monday to get final approval If council gives the goahead for town staff to hire the consultants will be spent this year while the remaining monies will be spent next year Mr explained the consul tant will act as a coach in guiding the town and council to examine such issues as housing water and sewage For example said Mr the consultant will help the town decide whether there will be enough water from the stream system used now to accommodate growth or will the town have to consider the idea of trying to get water piped in from Lake Ontario Results from the analysis like this one will tell the town if it needs to hire any more staff and if so in what areas said Mr Costea Mayor Miller acknowledged din ing Monday nights debate the public wary when the town spends money to hire a consultant I ve received about 10 calls this year from people saying why are you the town wasting money on consultants But the mayor argued the town will be forced to spend more money than necessary in the future if it plan properly now The town should better explain to the public why it needs con sultants Mayor Miller advised Cook argued consultants inevitably tell the town what they already know The town spent 23 to have a consultant tell council the downtown areas of Georgetown and Acton needed more parking spaces a fact the town already knew said the coun cillor Coun Cook was referring to a recently completed consul tant s report on the parking situa tion in Georgetown and Acton recommending the two areas need a total of parking spaces at a cost of between and million But Joe Hewitt said the parking study was valuable because it showed how the town could implement a tax levy to raise money for the new parking spaces Cash in lieu means commercial developers would give the town cash instead of building parking lots on the site so a more adequate and central parking lot could be built Chambers deficit barbecue Acton High School Science Fair Rebecca Moore Grade 11 poses beside her biology Display at Acton High School Science Fair
