PAGE 8THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, SEPTEMBER 12,2001 Clarington wants to compensate people affected by street name changes Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission Commission canadienne de sùrete nucléaire Canada BY JACQUIE McINNES Staff Writer CLARINGTON - Residents and businesses affected by street name changes will receive some compensation compensation for the expense involved, says Mayor John Mutton. At a council meeting Monday, Mayor Mutton asked council to support support having staff investigate the cost to properly owners affected by street name changes to accommodate a new mapping system for the 911 emergency emergency response system. "I'm asking you to put a human face," on the street name changes he told council. "We will look at the cost on a case scenario for residents and a case scenario for businesses," said the mayor, who noted in his motion, "We are not accepting responsibility for the problem but instead, absorbing amalgamation costs some 26 years later." The new 911 system will allow emergency response crews access to detailed information about each property property in the municipality. But to implement implement the provincewide system, which relics on municipal directories, any duplicate street names, caused by the amalgamation of hamlets, towns and villages 26 years ago, within Clarington Clarington must be eliminated. This has upset some residents and business owners who raised concerns, including the historical value of the names and the cost of changing stationary stationary and other documents. According to the motion, supported supported by all of council except councillors Charlie Trim and Gord Robinson, the cost will be taken from reserve funds and the municipality will request Bell pick up the tab. Coun. Trim said he would not support support the motion because it did not state how much compensation was to be given. "Without the proper figures these people won't buy into it," he said. As well, Coun. Trim noted how upset residents were at losing historical historical street names. He questioned the necessity of improving the 911 system system at all. "I have to ask, has 911, as it is, not provided an excellent service? If it's working well, why tamper with it?" According to Judy Tottman, Bell technology manager, the new system will increase the information crews have when they respond to a call. It will provide information such as layout layout of the building that could save time in the rescue, she says. Councillor Robinson added his voice in opposition to the motion for compensation noting, "I totally agree with Coun. Trim. I won't support it until we get confirmation from Bell," that it will pay. Mayor Mutton said later he feels the immediate issue is to ease the burden burden of cost on the residents and businesses. businesses. He pointed out if the compensation compensation is paid from municipal reserve funds, it will not increase taxes. The 911 emergency service is a municipal responsibility which was Movin' and Groovin' registration CLARINGTON - Registration will be held this Friday, Sept. 14 for Clarington's 50+ Movin' and Groovin' Club.

It is now paid for through a CRTC-regu- latcd surcharge on all Ontario phone customers' bills to ensure equal access access to the system, says Ms. Tottman. "It is our users who pay the cost," she notes. That is the reason Bell recommended recommended the municipal directory system system to the Ontario municipalities six years ago following a test study, says Ms. Tollman. The system was deemed to provide a faster response time at a more economical cost than one that detailed mapping to the village and hamlet level, she says. Because the new 911 system is the same provincewide, Clarington council council docs not have the power to force Bell to change the system to accommodate accommodate Clarington's duplicate street problem says the mayor, who noted in his motion, "Bell Canada... is forcing the municipality to change duplicate street names for the protection of its citizens."
