MESES " -- ATTN SEAS) Sard) Be " x is EIA 12-- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, April 25, 1979 Council approves $28 Scugog Township council approved a $280,000 capital budget for 1979 at the regular meeting Monday afternoon, and the two major spending items are $200,000 for a new Works department garage in Ward 1, and $25,000 for an addition to the Caesarea Fire Hall. The $280,000 ear-marked Monday for capital expendi- tures this year does not include the $155,000 for the purchase of 2.4 acres of waterfront property in down- town Port Perry. In agreeing to the capital budget, council noted that the $280,000 will come from four sources; $93,000 from the municipal projects fund; $62,000 from the current lot levey fund; $23,440 from the parks fund; and $100,000 from the projected lot levy FRE DOP 0000000 0000000000000000800000000000000000000K * ¥ OX * * PORT TAVERN 203 WATER STREET 985-3281 Special Dinner ' FRIDAY & SATURDAY APRIL 27th & 28th 5:00 to 8:00 P.M. BAR-B- 0 SPARERIBS SALAD BAR $3.93 oor revenues during 1979. Since that $100,000 from 1979 lot levies has not been paid to the Township at this time, some short-term borrowing will have to be made to cover the full $280,000 budget. The Works department garage is proposed for Town- ship property near the new Scugog Arena and once completed it will serve both Ward 1 and Port Perry. It will mean the closing of the present Ward 1 garage in Manchester. Engineering drawings and specifications for the new garage are now in the process of being prepared. In addition to the $200,000 for the new garage and the $25,000 for the Caesarea Fire Hall, the other budget items passed Monday for 1979 are: Chain Saws Post Hole Augers Log Splitters Roto Tillers Fertilizer Spreaders i * Seed Spreaders * Lawn Rollers vo ; ad 37 Tm Wb : oN -- * Games 5 * Tables & Chairs * Chain Saws See Us Today At Our New, Larger Location, ¥ 0,000 capital budget $8000 for Port Perry Fire department to purchase a piece of equipment known as "Jaws of Life'; $8000 for development of the public parK in Greenbank; $5700 for improvements to the Man- chester Hall; $1000 for the Prince albert Hall; $800 for the Blackstock Hall; $7000 for tennis courts at the public park in Seagrave; $7250 for the New Scugog Arena; and $18,000 for renovations and repairs to the Blackstock Arena. Council expects to be able to get some of the money back over the next couple of years as 25 per cent of all capital expenditures on public parks and halls are eligible for community centres grants from the province. Council differs over service policy for new industrial subdivisions A disagreement over what services should be required for an industrial subdivision led to a sharp argument between councillors Monday night, and resulted in action which one councillor feels sets an unfair and dangerous precedent. At issue was whether the Mauti Carlan Industrial Park on Simcoe Street North should be required to have curb, gutter and storm sewers on the internal streets, or open ditches. Area councillor Jerry Jackman argued strongly that the Park should be serviced with storm sewers rather than open ditches as the former is a policy of council adopted earlier this year. Councillors Richard Drew and Reg Rose both argued in favour of allowing open ditches in this subdivision, stating that this was verbally agreed to with the developer in discussions going back a couple of years and pre- dates the council policy on storm sewers. Tony Cesaroni, developer Ladders of the Mauti Industrial Park was at the meeting Monday night, and he told council the the cost of servicing the land so far has 'been expensive, and storm sewers would cost an additional $60,000. Mr. Cesaroni did say that he would be prepared to up- grade and pave Simcoe Street North to Township standards. Councillor Jackman argued that the council has adopted a policy regarding storm sewers in fully servic- ed industrial subdivisions and should apply it to all such developments. He noted that one indus- trial area (Van Edwards) on the east side of the Oshawa Road has already put in storm sewers, and a second industrial area (Aycuzz) now under consideration further south on the Oshawa Road should also be required. to put in storm sewers. That would not be the case if the Carlan Industrial Park was allowed to proceed with the open ditch concept as a precedent would be set. A motion by councillor Cement Mixers Camping Equipment Automotive Tools Power Tools Generators Demolition Hammers ERE Jackman to defer the issue to a future planning meeting for comments by the Town- ship roads superintendent and engineer was defeated. A second motion from councillor Drew was carried by a four to two vote with councillors Jackman and John Wolters opposed. The Drew motion allows the Mauti Carlan Park to proceed with open ditches, but calls on the developer to up-grade and pave Simcoe Street North from Regional Road 8 to Cawker's Creek in the first phase, and similar road work to be done north to the 8th Concession in the second phase.
