PACT headquarters to
remain for additional month
Pickering -Ajax Citizens Together for the
environment (PACT) has been given a one-
month reprieve by the Town of Ajax to get
out of its headquarters in a town -owned
building on Highway 2.
The building is in desperate need of
repairs and PACT were previously given a
Dec. 31 deadline to vacate. The
environmental group asked for an additional
month to find other accommodation.
Ajax Mayor Jim R'itty said he has been in
contact with his Pickering counterpart
R'avne Arthurs who assured him there will be
a place in Pickering ready for the group by
the end of January.
The Ajax Fire Department, after
inspecting the PACT headquarters at Notion
Road, reported that extensive repairs are
required, especially to the roof. The repairs
will cost the town more than $ 15,000.
PACT will have to sign a waiver form,
absolving the town of any liability should an
accident occur during January.
Tax certification fees rise
The tax certification fee for the Town of
Ajax has been increased from $10 to $15.
Ajax, along with Scarborough, still has the
lowest fees in the Greater Toronto Area.
Oshawa, Pickering, Whitby, Markham and
Toronto charge $20 while Aurora. East York,
North York and Richmond Hill charge VS.
Town staff has decided not to make, any
changes in the penaltylinterest rate for tax
arrears. Ajax charges 1.25 per rent per

month (15 per cent annually), due the last
Wednesday of February, April, June and
September.
Sign of the times in
Pickering Village
Phase 11 of the Pickering Village signage
plan will likely get under way in the next
couple of weeks.
Inotek Signs. who were awarded phase 1
of the $12,500 project, will also perform
phase 11. Ajax picked up the $6,000 bill for
the first phase while the town and the
Pickering Village Business Improvement
Association (BIA) will split the $6,500 cost
for phase 11.
The BIA will not have access to their 1993
funds until the new year so the Town of Ajax
will put up the necessary funds now from the
promotional reserve fund. The BIA will
reimburse Ajax when their money comes in.
Work is being held up pending Ministry of
Transportation approval, but Mayor Jim
Witty expects the decorative sign package to
get
underway "in the next couple of weeks.'
Town rejects J and F
Trucking expansion plans
Ajax councillors told a representative
from a new recycling plant in the town who
wants room for growth to first develop a
,good track record before any expansion is
approved.
J&F Trucking received approval last
month for a recvciing facility on Finley
Avenue. Last Thursday Len Campitelli

Ajax
hoping to make some changes to his original
proposal.
Campitelli wants an increased capacity for
waste, a required building deleted (although
it would be built if demand warranted), the
ability to transport material that his
company can't recycle and permission to
include some residential waste.
Council instead rubber-stamped his
original proposal and told him to wait until
the company has established a good
corporate reputation before asking for
expansions; or re -apply.
Residential plan challenged
A zoning bylaw, approving residential
expansion of the Devonside Estates in north
Ajax, has been challenged by the
neighboring Hickory Heights Estates.
Town solicitor Ron Hawkshaw described
the objection as 'frivolous' but said he and
planning director Peter Tollefsen will attend
the Ontario Municipal Board hearing Jan. 4,
5 and 6 in council chambers 'to ensure the
town's interests' are protected.
An application from the Christian Life
Centre for a reduction in required parking
has been accepted by Ajax's Executive and
Development Committee.
The church was built in 199 with one
parking space for every 2.5 seats. The
applicant proposed to reduce the required
parking to one space for every rive seats,
which is the standard requirement for all
churches in the town.
A revised site plan from an Ajax
industrial liquid filter manufacturer has
been approved.
Wm. R. Perrin Co. wanted permission to
build an addition to the existing building for
an engineering office, light -assembly area
and warehouse space.
The company has agreed to provide
landscape improvements and pay a
$4,291.98 non-residential levy to Ajax
Hydro.
$24,000 worth of asbestos
removal in town buildings
Asbestos removal for three town -owned
buildings in Ajax will cost more than
$24,000.
More than $20,000 worth of work has
alreadv been done at the works department
building on Mackenzie Avenue. Almost
$9,000 went to Envirosafe Inc. for the
removal of asbestos and re -insulation of
piping in the building, as per a labor
ministry order. Another $4,121.64 will be
paid to T.S. Health and Safety for
consultancy costs.
As per a second ministry order, a further
$4,.26.50 will be paid to AC& I Services Ltd.
for the removal of all asbestos from the
building.
The latter two firms were also hired to
remove and control asbestos insulation at
the equipment depot and maintenance shop
buildings.
T.S. health and Safety will be paid almost
$8.000 in consultancy fees while the removal
work was performed by AC&I Services, at a
cost of $9,820.
None of the work was budgeted for, so the
money will come out of the building repair
revenue.

Hydro employees raise
5210,000 for United Wav
Ontario llvdro employees at the,
Pickering nuclear generating station have
certainly gotten into the Christmas spirit
this holiday season — raising $210,140) in
support of the local United Way campaign.
According to information officer Don
Terry, the station's 2,800 operation and
construction employees have raised a
record amount of money this year. This
year's contributions topped last year's
efforts by approximately $30,000.
"We didn't set any specific target this
Year," Terry told The Bay News. "R'e just
hoped to raise an additional 10 per cent
over last vear."
Local hydro employees staged a number
of fund-raising events during the United
Wav campaign period. Thev included
bake sales and a number of what Terry
described as "kick off" events. However,
the bulk of money was raised through
employee payroll deductions.
"More than anything it was a matter of
people digging into their pockets," he
said. A formal presentation by Ontario
llvdro to the Ajax and Pickering United
Q'ay will be announced at a later date.
