From page one But the tax increase was necessary necessary in order to maintain police services at their current strength. "If we hadn't given more money to the police services, we had been told that they would have had to lay officers off," the mayor said. One of the other goals for the Region is to set aside $350,0(X) each year until 2001 towards a Durham University Centre reserve. The money will assist in the. financing of university facilities in Durham. University Centre Gets $350,000 From page one municipality consisting of Oshawa, Courtice and Whitby. "This is not an appropriate move for this council," Councillor Anderson said. However, that is not how the majority of councillors fell. Oshawa Councillor Robert Lutczyk said, "when I first ran for office, part of my platform platform was to establish a university university centre in the Region. This is the first step in the funding effort. "Other corporations are watching us, if the region can't make the commitment why should they?" he asked. Whitby Councillor Joe Drumm was shaking his head in disbelief when he got up to speak. "I never thought I'd hear anyone say they were against this," he observed.

This will be a benefit to all," the mayor concluded. Pickering Mayor and Finance and Administration Committee Chair, Wayne Arthurs, beseeched councillors councillors "to step outside of the politics" and "look and see where you want this Region to be in five to 10 years." The university centre will play an important part in the Region's future, he predicted. In a recorded vote, 25 councillors voted to keep the $350,000 in this' year's budget, budget, while three voted against it. Mayor Hamre and Councillors Ann Dreslinski and Larry Hannah supported the move. Councillor Carson Elliott was not at the meeting.
