The park site would run from the western boundary of the Hydro site to the eastern boundary of the present Darlington Provincial Park. Under the proposed scheme warm water which would be emitted from the Nucleur plant would be directed along the shore line west from the plant which could provide lake water temperatures along along the shore line of 70 to 80 degrees. Mr. Fitchett stated that Hydro would not operate or construct such a proposal but were now suggesting the proposal to see if anyone was interested. When asked where this interest may lie he said it could be one of the Ministries or possibly the municipality. The combined costs for the development of the scheme would amount to some $20,500.000. The report however however did state that the costs could be reduced if a dyke were built to contain the warm waters rather than a series of small islands. î EIC A ED ? • REALTOR ; • 123 King St. E * 9 BOWMANVILLE « • e «When Buying or Selling » , Call , ÎWILF HAWKE: • e • Your Orono Area « • Representative 6 » 983-5274 I • « 6 Member of Oshawa and e « District Real Estate e » Board * •eeeeeeeeeeeee PUMPING OUT SEPTIC TANKS Bert Tompkins Phone 786-2552 Monuments and Family Memorials Our quality and service leaves nothing to be desired Ask the person who bought from us, a neighbour, neighbour, friend or relative The Rutter Granite Company 73 Ontario Street PORT HOPE Phone collect V. W. RUTTER Office - 885-5216 Home -. 885-5222 Hydro may consider constructing constructing the dyke or islands. The proposal suggests that the warm water discharge from the Nuclear plant be directed along the shore line through the use of small islands. Such a scheme would result in mean water temperatures temperatures in the beach area during May to October to be from 59 degrees in May to a high of 72 degrees in August and September and 64 degrees in October. The temperature of the water could further be increased in the beach area by recirculating this water again through the plants cooling system to a possible 80 degrees during the aforementioned aforementioned period. The heating of the water in the beach area appears the key to the whole proposal. It could include a man made 2000 foot beach, marina, camping area, picnic area, adventure playgrounds, nature nature and bicycle trails and wildlife sancturaries. Mr. Fitchett stated this would not be operated by hydro but that hydro may purchase the land providing the sellers were agreeable. There would be no expropriation expropriation of the 200 acres, he stated. In Planning Changes In a report to the Planning Advisory Committee of the Town of Newcastle George Howden, Planner, states that the present procedure for the amendments are clearly not functioning properly in the case of the Town of Newcastle. Newcastle. Further he states that they will not function properly with the existing staff now employeed at the local level. In his report he outlined the procedure now being followed pointing out that the amendments amendments are the duty of the region. In many cases the work is being done by the two-man staff at the Town of Newcastle. Although the report stated it would be inappropriate for a suggestion at this time to any specific changes it did spell out three general improvements improvements which could be made to speed up what has become a six month process. The report also states, "The dilemna confronting the Town of Newcastle as we see it is that the Town does not wish to be excluded from the Official Plan Amendment process, but at the same time it does not possess the staff to perform this function on its own. Director's salary up to $47,500.00 The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education Education on Thursday evening of last week passed a resolution in accordance with former procedure setting salaries of senior administrative staff with the board. Under an agreement established established in 1969 senior administrative administrative staff for the Board of Education receive salaries related to senior principals plus a specific percentage of the base salary (that of the senior principals). The senior staff will, as do the principals, receive their increases on the two-grid basis. The first increase will be for the period from September to the' end of December, 1975 with the second increase coming January January 1st, 1976 to the end of August. Mr. Frank Thom, Director of Education, who has been receiving $38,000 will receive an immediate annual increase increase to $45,500 and on January 1st the increase goes to $47,500. This amounts to the senior principal salary plus an additional forty percent. The two Superintendents will receive $39,000 annually as of September 1st increasing increasing to $41,000 as of January 1st, 1976. The three area Superintendents who have been receiving $30,000 will go to $37,500 as of January 1st. This is made up of the senior principal salary plus an additional ten percent. Salaries Salaries are also rounded off to the nearest $500.00. It is expected that the recently Federal guide-lines in salary increases will be observed if they pertain to the salaries approved by the Board of Education. Mr. Carman points out that the senior staff salaries are based on the senior principal's salary which was settled prior to the announcement of the controls. However, he said, if the guidelines apply they will be observed and that is understood by both parties. The salaries are not inconsistant inconsistant with that paid by other boards and in fact appear to go right down the middle course.
