Consultants Recommend Sites for Headquarters by Grctchcn Ballanlync Two sites for the location of the new Regional Ileacl- quarlers have been recommended recommended to regional council by its consulting firm. Peat Marwick Consulting Group su bmilied their final report to the region, October October 15, recommending Oshawa and Whitby as the best alternatives for a new regional government headquarters. headquarters. Last March, Durham's Chief Administrative Officer Officer (CAO) evaluated four alternatives for housing regional regional offices. The first option was to continue with the current facilities. The second was to expand the existing facilities facilities by building an annex at the Rossland Road site and renovating the existing building. The final two alternatives were to build in downtown Oshawa, on former General Motors property, , or build on land across from the current current site in Whitby. The CAO, in May, recommended recommended that the region operate operate from one building at the Oshawa site. Regional Council, concerned with the CAO's report, retained the Peat Marwick Consulting Consulting Group to review the report report and assess financial and planning consequences of the four sites. The consulting firm has now concluded that the results, results, of the CAO's analysis in May, were not conclusive for support of the Oshawa site. "It did not assess the relative relative attractiveness of the alternatives," alternatives," said the report, "a significant omission in light of the closeness of the costs for the four alternatives." alternatives." In addition, the results of the financial analysis revealed revealed higher costs for all four alternatives than the comparable costs, made in the original CAO report, for each site. In conclusion, the Peal Marwick Group advised the region that the Oshawa and Whitby sites rank more highly financially, than the other two alternatives, but refused to identify the best possible option available to the region. "The Oshawa and Whitby sites arc sufficiently close that we do not believe it is appropriate to recommend one, rather than the other, on the basis of the analysis presented in this report," stated the consultants. In support of Oshawa, as the future site for the regional regional administrative facilities, facilities, Mayor Allan Pilkey, SUPERMAID AN AFFORDABLE - QUALITY SERVICE YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN BE SATISFIED WITH LESS! 434-8325 BONDED INSURED PROFESSIONAL HOUSE CLEANING was given the opportunity to address the consultants in August, to outline the advantages advantages of locating in Oshawa. • Oshawa offered the region region free land for the site, on the former General Motors property at Mary and Rond streets, and free parking downtown. They also agreed agreed to abandon their title and revenue-sharing interests interests in the existing headquarters headquarters building. Mayor Pilkey highlighted the positive factors in relocating relocating in Oshawa. "We believe that the concept concept of a strong Oshawa- cenlred region is relevant today. And it will counterweigh counterweigh the dominance ol Metropolitan Toronto," he told the consultants. "A strong region needs a strong heart. Whitby was proclaimed "a much more important community than the Village of Oshawa, according according to the history books," admitted the mayor. "But the Village of Oshawa has grown and prospered. Doesn't it make sense that the money (to build the headquarters) should be used where it will do the most good, both in planning and economic terms," questioned Mayor Pikcy. Even the region, in its new Official Plan, has dedicated dedicated itself to the original vision of an "Oshawa- centred" region, he said. The battle for the site of the $15 million headquarters headquarters is again under way and it will be up to the regional councillors to decide what location will best suit the needs of the region. The report of the region's • consultants will be consi-. dered today (Wednesday, October 21) at a meeting of Durham's regional council. The Canadian Statesman. Rownianvill»*.
