Most people would be impressed by its size but regional councillors are apparently negotiating to buy a s-acre parcel of land to either. build a new regional headquarters or expand this present building which also serves as a court ho assessment office. But all of Durham's offices Whitby Durham's works de elsewhere. use and a provincial government aren't located at this location in partment and social services department arelocated Plans discussed in camera There is an "element of truth" in published reports - indicating the region-of Dur: ham is negotating to.buy a «four to five acre site in Whitby, according to Scugog _ Councillor Reg Rose. The report stated that when regional council went into a hour and a half closed door session last Wednesday, negotations were authorized on a site near Rossland Road and Brock Street in Whitby. Mr. Rose said there were no talk of building a new building on any site at this time. Quoting an unidentified source, the report said the land under consideration is -- valued -at-about $30,000 an acre and is unserviced. After regional council came out of camera Wednes- day, Coun. Allan Pilkey gave notice that he would recom- mend the executive comm- ittee study a permanent location for the regional headquarters and the feasi- bility of selling the present building. Mr. Rose said he would oppose any plan to sell the building. ' ' "It is a well known fact that the province is interes- ted in establishing a new provincial office building somewhere in the area," Mr. Rose said. If a new provincial build- ing is constructed, he said, the Provincial Assessment Department would move out of the present Ontario Court j Hospital Report Week Ending October 3rd Admissions .............. 37 Births .................... 2 Deaths .................. 1 * Emergencies ............123 Operations .............. 13 Discharges ..............34 Remaining" .............. 14 House Building. A large part of the region's headquarters are now. established in the courthouse. - This area, along with a large unfinished court room on the third floor could provide the additional area the region needs to bring more of its departments - together. . The regional headquar- ters are at 655 Rossland Road East in Whitby, while the Works Department is also in Whitby at 105 Consu- mers Drive. : The Social Service Depart- ment is on Simcoe Street in . 'Oshawa. Mr. Rose said he wouldn't oppose the purchase of a lot that was adjacent to the present land owned by the region on Rossland Road. If there was need for future expansion, the site could be used, he said. Some Oshawa councillors have been pressing for the regional headquarters to be © Malcolm located in Oshawa and would probably be opposed to "buying-this'land because. it would solidify the Rossland - Road site 'as permanent headquarters for the region. Oshawa has about 100,000 of the 220.000 people in the region. Scugog Mayor Lawrence said the session dealing with this matter was held in camera. "Until regional council confirms it, I am not saying anything about it," Mr. Malcolm said. "It will all come out in the wash soon." When council came out of camera Mr. Pilkey objected to a vote to accept what was done in Camera. "I am not going lo vote publically without it being known publically what I am voting for or against," Mr. Pilkey said. . He alse said that council didn't even know how much the item discussed was going to cost. Council leaves strikers out in the cold weather " Scugog council has deci- ded to leave the striking Flamingo employees out in. the cold at least for a week. Council postponed any de- cision on a' request by employees to park a trailer on township property be- tween the fence line and the ditch in front of the Flamingo plant. "I think this is a situation where we are dammed if we do and dammed if we don't," Coun. Bob Kenny said. "I don't think council can win no matter what we do." Teamsters Local 647 wrote a letter to council stating it had become , some what cooler lately and that the sole purpose of the trailer Jvould be so the picketers could warm themselves. Coun: Don Frew suggested the best way to settle the prablem is to settle the strike and then the workers could go back inside the plant. Mr. Frew said if they granted the strikers request it would look like council was siding against management. Coun. Reg Rose said he had been approached by management to have cars parked along the road out- side Flamingo giving Park- ing tickets and had refused to take any action. Mr. Rose said he felt he couldn't take the strikers side either. ad LYS bE 2H : . HA Yop sotir #1 ENA PORE AE Ei od, dbsabinhditidici ono saci nokia ded yr.7 .

In a brief presented to council Monday night, Bruce Lamorie, secretary of the club, said the club would build a .new club house facility, new permanent docks and would screen the boats in winter storage. The club would also be willing to change the size of its lot from 150 feet by 150 feet to 300 feet by 75 feet. The.club would also like to - negotiate a long term lease on the present site at a reasonable-rent, the report said. After outling the negoti- ations the club has been involved in for the past four years, Mr. Lamorie said that the club feels the township.of Scugog has a moral obliga- tion to help the club find suitable quarters. Coun. Reg Rose said the former village of Port Perry had asked the club some years ago to move to a site by the old railway line on the lake. This site had been turned over to the town by the federal government on the condition it be used for parks land. Mr. Lamorie said that after former Coun. Howard Hall had made a trip to Good public reaction fo new arena study Public reaction to a report on a new arena has been good according to Howard Hall, chairman of the com- mittee which made the re- port. The report suggests a single pad arena be built on a new Port Perry Fair Grounds. I have had no one come to me and say your crazy, we can't afford something like this," Mr. Hall said. "Most people have come to accept the idea that there is a need for anew arena in the area." Mr. Hall said he had talked to a lot of people and most accepted the -idea that it might be necessary to relo- cate the Fair Grounds to get an arena. The report "has been re- ceived by council and council asked the Fair Board to investigate the possibility of sestablishing a new joint Fair Grounds with the Oshawa IFair. Board. Ottawa, the club was in- formed that they could go ahead and negotiate a lease to move to the proposed site. But the federal govern- ment questioned the right of council to lease this land to the Yacht Club as the land would not be used for parks purposes. Recently the federal gov- ernment announced that the - lownship could not lease this land to the Club. As a result, the club pre- sented the brief to council asking to stay where it is now.
