Building these reserves, he said, helps to reduce the need for costly short-term borrowing by the Town ship. : Reflecting back on 1984, Mayor Taylor said one of the highlights of the year for the local council was the decision to replace the municip- ally owned marina on the Port Perry water- front. "I know there has been some criticism from people who don't believe the Township should be spending money on this kind of project, but I think it is important for the entire Township," he said, not- ing that the decision received unanimous approval from the council. It is expected that construction of a new. marina facility will start in late summer or Opposite New Library We hold two sales a year, don't miss this opportunity for wortfiwhile savings on quality merchandise. 408 Dundas Street West, Whitby 666-1161 Plenty of Free Parking at Rear Open dally to 6 p.m., Thureday & Friday to 9 p.m. Cash or Cheque preferred on sale hems Wordabie fashions prosonied unt @ louch of claws 7a early fall and the cost will be in the $130,000 range. The building will be leased over a long term to John Mackie who will operate the marina. Mayor Taylor also said he is pleased the lawn bowling issue has been resolved. During the past year, thé Town- ship negotiated with Carlan Development to secure a new lawn bowling site on Regional Road 8. The old bowling green on Queen Street in downtown Port Perry will be turned back to the municipality, and while the Township has not made a firm decis- ion as to what. it will do with the old green, Mayor Taylor said he would "prefer to see it remain as a passive recreation use." The construction of two salt and sand domes at the Blackstock Works Yard and the Yard on Regional Road 8 in the past year, was also something that was "overdue for the Mun- icipality," according to Mayor Taylor. The past year was one in which there was not a _ "hot and controversial issue" in the Township. But Mayor Taylor agreed the weed growth this summer and last in Lake Scugog was a cause of alarm .for _a great number of people. A Task Force was set up to examine the pro- blem, and according to the Mayor, he hopes there can be "a practic- al solution at a reason- able cost." "I think it is a definite priority to look at the problems of the lake. Lake Scugog is the heart of this community and I don't believe anybody would want to just sit back and watch it turn into a marsh,' he said. However, he acknow- ledged that even if the Task Force is able to come up with some recommendations on the weed problem, the issue of who will pay has not been addressed.

There should be some help from the On other matters, the Mayor said the Town- ship should be consider- ing funds for beautific- ation programs in Scugog, the planting of flowers and shrubs, for example. He had words of praise for the work done by the Beautific- ation Committee last summer. The issue of the need for a second ice pad at the Scugog Arena is one that is sometimes mentioned by groups who use the arena. Mayor Taylor said there has been no present- ation to council. ' As for overall growth in the community, Mayor Taylor said he believes Scugog will continue to expand at a relatively slow rate. '""There must be a certain amount of grow- th and development in any community. There are groups who say it is taking place too fast and those who say not fast enough," he stated. At the end of Nov- ember, the Township had issued building permits million, which is about $2 million less than the value in 1983. The number of permits for single family homes was 89, a drop of 23 from the previous year. Mayor Taylor said that while the commer- cial sector of the comm- unity seems to be strong and flourishing, Scugog has not enjoyed a lot of success in recent years in attracting new indust- worth $8.7 Scugog in good shape rial assessment. At the Regional level, Mayor Taylor predicted that one issue that will get a lot of attention is what to do with garb- age. "Getting rid of garb- . age is becoming very costly these days. Where would the Region ever find another land- fill site,"' he asked. Durham is now wait- ing for a consultants report on alternatives to landfill sites such as re-cycling and inciner- ation of garbage. And he suggested that the squabble between Durham and the City of Oshawa over the owner- ship of the Regional Headquarters building will probably have to go to court for settlement. Oshawa is claiming one-third ownership in the building on Rossland Road, by way of an agreement in 1963 which the city says was not revoked when Durham was created in 1974. Here in the Township, the Mayor said he doubts there will be any major projects initiated by the council in 1985, which is an election year, after all.
