Jn 'a 4 = Informal agenda is set for council summit discussions Members of Scugog council spent Monday at an un- disclosed location away from Port Perry discussing policies and other municipal matters. It is the second time since this council was elected last No- vember that members got away for a day of informal discus- sions. Last January, they spent a day in a committee room at the Oshawa Holiday Inn. The location of Monday's get-together was not dis-closed when the Star discussed the matter Friday afternoon with Mayor Howard Hall. "It (the location) is within half an hour's drive of Port Perry," said the Mayor. He added that part of the reason for not making the loca- tion known is the same reason for this kind of meeting. "It is productive to get the council away for a day to discuss thingsin depth." By going out of town, he went on, councillors are not get- ting phone calls or other inter- ruptions. He said the seven council- lors and administrator Earl Cuddie travelled in two cars to the meeting, which got under- way at 8:301in the morning. "We have an agenda, but it's very informal. The meeting is strictly for discussion. It is not a regular meeting of council (with minutes etc.) and there will be no resolutions passed," he said. He declined to state what specific items are on the agenda for discussion. The Mayor said the first out of town informal meeting back in January (dubbed Meech Lake by some councillors) proved to be successful. "We (council) decided at that time to hold another in six or eight months," said the May- or.

Henry Raetsen. He told the Star the num- ber of speeding charges is up over last year, as are other charges under the Highway Traffic Act and Criminal Code. Though a statistical break- down of police work in 26 Divi- sion is not readily available, Staff Sgt. Raetsen said the number of calls are increasing all the time. During the first six months of the year, officers submitted 2,049 reports. There were 559 charges laid under the Criminal Code;, 242 under the Liquor Li- cence Act; 1,084 under the Highway Traffic Act. During that period, officers made 404 arrests.
