Noti-e of Motion AML Item's from Whitby Couneil agenda(s) On th - la for comneil meetingi FROM PAGE 1 PAÇT's environmental lawyer, David Estrin, who claimed the site is illegal because it does not conform to Durbam's official plan. He said it is also illegal because council will not ask for the full environmental assess- ment act bearing, but instead will opt for the shorter environ- mental protection act hearing. He added that if bistory is a guide, GTA will "self-destruct." Rgonal chairman Gary Her- rema did not agree witb the lawyers. "I beard garbage in there today,» be sai d after the vote. "I'd like to see tbe people in Pickering and A* ax buid a better community rather than tbem bitcbing about a bad com- munity," said Herrema, who sup- ported the decision. While the overaîl vote was 21-10, Whitbv's four regional representatives were split on the issue. Mayor Bob Attersley and coun- cillor Marcel Brunelle favored the dump while councillors Tom Edwards and Joe Drumm opposed it. Edwards argued that Durham had not looked hard enought to find another site. 'Mon't do thib ibort notice, we can find an alternative site to get over the next few years, » Wargued Edwards. Drumm agreed Wiltevale is not the site for the dump. 4'Tve been to see Whitevale twice and this is not the place for a dump. I bave sympatby for that land," said Drumm. «We have a real problem and the only solution that will work a y ear from now is this one," said Brnelle. (Metro's Brock West dump, wbicb Durham uses, is expected to be full by the end of 1990.) Brunelle agreed that, in the longterm, Durham sbould find its own solution, separate of GTA, but be arguedl Durham needed time. Mayor Attersley noted that Pickering, wbere Brock West is located, entered into the landfill agreement witb Metro before the Region was formed in 1974. With Region approval, Metro will now divert its garbage te its Keele Valley landfill site in York Region five montbs before Brock West is expected to close. That will give Duirbam tbree years of dumping at Brock West and enougb time to open the site adjacent to Pikcering. Under GTA, ea7cb member municipality - Durham, Metro,' York, Peel and Halton - were toAI O TL offer an interim site to be used AR ' from 1992 to 1996. e OTO With tbe Wbitevale site, Dur-60 ULDSUNT10WIB hami will take in its own 1.4 Àr4 03 3 R6631 those four years plus 4.1 millionlm1rl tonnes from Metro whicb will or Wedy830a 60pmSt1am-1ri pay $190- million. WHIBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 24s, 1989, PAGE 3 2nd strike vote wanted It wasn't busi*ness as usual. t wasn't business as usual at last Wednesday's meeting of Durham Region council. Onth day that council, as pu b Oshawa councillor John Aker, was to make its most "dfiut" decision, more than 200 angr Pickering residents were standing outside council chambers because they were barred from entering. The corridors were full because regional chairman Gary Herrema, who bas received deatb threats over the garbage issue, ruied that once the public gallery was full no one else was allowed to enter the chambers which seat no more than 80 people in the public gallery. His decision was enforced by members of Durham Regional Police who gu arded the entrance and allowed no one in beyond those already in the gallery. Off»icers were also placed on each side of the chambers to prevent members of the media from entering the chambers and f ilming councillors on the floor during debate. Even after the debate, when council voted 21-10 in favor of an interim dump in north Pickering, Herrema was escorted to bis office by four uniformed officers wbo then stood by as members of the media entered for comments on the decision. Durnp site approve.d 6.3-per cent pay raise in the first year of a two-year contract. The second year would see a 6-per cent increase. No date bas been set for the second vote.
