Garfield Container inc., following an in-camera meeting with legal staff. Several other recommendations by the committee aimed at reducing noise, dust and tramc from the con- tainer operation on Maple Grove were also approved. Citizens' representative Thomas Moro said the committee's recom- mendations are designed "to give Garfield a reasonable opportunity to find a solution." Mom explained that the "no stop- ping" signs along Maple Grove would have no affect on the company itself. but would most likely have an impact on independent truckers hired by the company to transport the con- pate on the committee until the 11th hour.

The committee also recommend- ed abandoning the suggestion that the level crossing of Maple Grove Drive over the CNR tracks be re- opened to accommodate Garfield trucks.

The committee's final recommen- dation is to invite the principals of Garfield to meet with Mayor Ann Mulvale, Ward 3 councillor Tedd Smith, who chaired the citizens' committee, and citizen representative Local crime rate down in Jan. "Although it's early, 1993 looks good," No. 2 District Commander superin- tendent Richard Kivell said during a presentation comparing statistical data com- piled in 1991, 1992 and the first month of 1993 by the Halton Regional Police Service. During Kivell's presentation, council also heard the number of reported crimes dropped by 5.5% from 1991 to 1992. He attributed the drop in reported crimes to the success of police crime pre- vention programs, as well as support from community groups and local media which help raise the public 's awareness about crime. The number of reported crimes in Oakville dropped by 6.8% in January of 1993, compared to the same month last year, Oakville town council was told Monday night. "For each new crime, there's another drain of services. Ideally, we try to bring down those statistics," he said. As examples, Kivell cited the force's focus on reducing the incidents of destruction to property by educating youths about drug abuse, as well as educat- ing potential victims of crimes on personal safety. Kivell said statistics for February of 1993 would be available later in the week. Kivell said the police force focuses on programs and community initiatives aimed at crime prevention so that its resources aren't depleted on investigations after the crimes have already been committed.
