PAGE 12, WHITY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MAlICH 28,1990 Region- Metro grbage deal1held.u By Trudie Zavadovicu About $21-rnillion stands bet- ween Durhamn Region and Metro Toronto signing tehe deal on the Pl temporary dump in PIckering - a deai that could ultimately ne t the Region $251-million. The deal which was to have been signeâ between Metro and Durhamn Region last week, has been held up af, disagreenient over the interpretation of a clause which states that "Lîpon approval of the (dump) by the Minis ' of the Envirornent, Metro Toonto shahl deposit a further $21 million in Durham's Solid Waste Reserve Fun'd." In the sanie agreement the Region is to et $20O-million upon the signi-ngof the agreement. «Mr. Aker and I could not bring forward an agreement. There is one section that we couid not agree upon as of 7:00 o'clock hast (Wednesday) nig~ regional chairman Gary Her- renia told council at a special meeting hast Thursday. He went on to say that he was not prepared to negotiate the item in public and cailed for a vote te go 'in -camera' te discus the issue. After four hours of 'in camera' discussion, the negotiating teain of Herrema and Aker were direc- ted tohang tough on their inter- pretation of the 'ufon nioney. Ajax councillor Pat Clark, Who has àhi-allenged the agreement froni the begrnning, says she was not surprised but appalled by Metro actions. At Wednes day's regular regional council meeting, she as ked the chairman for assurance that, corne Thursday, council would be dealing with a signed agreement. She was given that assurance. . Both councils adopted that statement of principles. At the eleventh hour Metro decides te pull this oer% pplldb4y the la ofgod faith on Metro's part. Were neyer goin te be givn a fair shake froniero Ifthe deai is so wonderful and Metro is so desperate for aur 4.6 million capacity at Pi, why would they pull this trick, at the hast minute. Are they, in fact, just stalling for timer" Clark said this was not just a legal but a financial matter, and that if handled right should not cost the taxpayer anything. She alo feels that discussion of the agreement should b. public. -"If the agreemient is so good, it should stand the scrutiny of the public. I thinlc every taxpayer in the Region has too much at stake in the garbage issue te be kept in the darlc.» Whitby rogionai councillor Marcelle Brunelle feels more positive about the agreement and that the Pl site is still Metro's best bot. «Durham bas a very srn hand in this negotiationi. We are way. ahead of anyone elso. If's important te consider that tume is of the essence. Everyone is running out ini '93, pretty soon we'l ho the only game in town. "The bail is in Metro's park. They have te- put thofr monoy whero their niouth is. We are trying hard to protect the tax- payer. We are trying te do the rosponsible tbing. This js a minor glitch, we'vo corne a long way.» flerrema toid reporters that the. Region is developinlga plan B and thiat it shouldboroady within two weeks. If the deal with Metro does fali tbrough, the PI site wouid stili ho nonimated as a contingency iandfill site for the Groater Toronto Area (GTA) which also includes the regions of Halten, Peel and York.
