Council gets a holiday Port Perry Council agreed at the meeting of July 25 to take a week off from their municipal duties in August. As a result there will be no meeting on Tuesday, August 15. It was suggested initially that the meeting of August 8 be suspended as well, but the feeling was that this would create too much of a backload of business to be dealt with when the Council returned to the chambers on August 22, "ions with Reach Township -of water to Reach and Port "tite to work towards reach: Bre - ing a satisfactory agreement if dias ys Lr AR nd AS fir PLETE LAS prawts 0 P2RT § PER RY #8 Volume 106 -- PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, Wednesday, Aug. 1 0.

Mr. Kenny also said he was concerned that without an agreement of some kind with Perry will have no control over the supply of water when the new well is completed. Councillor Gerald Jack- man could see no point in attempting to come to an agreement with Reach Township, saying in his opinion Port Perry would have nothing to gain by this. "Hopefully," he said, 'the well will be paid out of development fees raised by construction in the Village." In finally agreeing to enter into new negotiations, the Council decided first to seek professional advice in this matter from the consulting firm retained by the Village. " Following .the meeting, Councillor Gerald Jackman expressed his opinions on the possibility of re-negotiating with Reach. "It is my opinion that these should not continue until. such time as the proposed (residential and commercial) development in Reach is approved by the OMB, if it is approved." Mr. Jackman went on to say that a compromise could be reached in a manner similar to the pattern fol- lowed by the Minister of the Environment in his rec- ommendations.
