Page THE WEEKEND OUTLOOK Friday February 22 Acton arena once again put on backburner ByBENDUMMETT The Herald Acton residents shouldnt ex pect a new arena in or Halton Hills Budget Commit tee once again reconsidered in cluding the arena in its capital budget Tuesday but once again a majority of committee members opposed the idea The budget committee Is comprised of Town councillors Tuesdays budget committee meeting marked the third such time the arena issue has been discussed Early last month com recommended the new arena proposal be deferred from the 1991 capital budget to 1993 Committee decided to reconsider the idea of putting it back into the budget after Acton resident Gord Chapman on behalf of the Acton Arena User Group presented Town council Monday with a petition signed by over people protesting the Asked if councillors will over turn the decision when the matter is considered by council next month Acton Councillor Rick was far from op timistic Its another nail the coffin said a dejected Bonnette following Tuesdays meeting Acton councillors Norm Elliott and Gerald Rennie like voted for the inclusion of the arena in this years capital budget Elliott said following the decision I dont expect to change their position Weve already had two runs at it added the councillor Coun Bonnette predicted however the Acton councillors along with members of the Acton community will try again when the budget goes before council f or final approval this March Acton councillors also received support from Mayor Miller and Budget Committee Chair man Coun Pam Johnston The majority of councillors support deferring the arena to 1993 because of the cost factor They point to the additional 7 3 per cent tax increase in that would result if the million project went ahead this year The increase would go towards paying off the arena according to the capital budget A majority of councillors say taxpayers would find this increase unacceptable However those who wanted the arena included in the 1991 budget argued they too cant accept the approval of an extra 7 per cent added to the 1992 or 1993 tax rate Coun Elliott said the million arena price tag is inflated acknowledging the people of Ac ton recognize the financial con straints on council Coun Elliott said residents would willingly ac cept a scaleddown version of the arena being proposed He predicted a suitable arena could be built for between million and million That would mean an additional tax increase in 1993 of about three to four per cent he predicted The people of Acton are primarily concerned that an arena be built soon because its only a matter of time before the existing building is closed for good Acton councillors argued By including the arena in the budget Town Recreation and Parks Director Tom Shepard would be permitted to apply for provincial government funding Since this kind of application takes a year to process peoples tax bills wouldnt be affected un til 1993 at the earlier they said In the meantime staff could be directed to find other ways besides taxes to finance the building explained Elliott Coun Marilyn Serjeanston said even if the impact of a new arena was only three to four percent on the tax rate people would still find that Increase unacceptable The Acton Councillors warned if the Arena Arena closes and there is no replacement in Acton Georgetown residents will suffer Acton residents will be forced to use the Gordon Alcott Arena which will mean less ice time for Georgetown residents they ex plained Mayor Miller confirmed he has received several letters from Georgetown residents saying they dont want to give up a lot of ice time ft APPLE WINDSHIELD REPAIRS W All Claim 8731655 Main Street South Downtown Georgetown 8731470 HEY BOB Lets
