CARRIED - 3 - 29/69 The Council received the following correspondence from the Metropolitan Toronto Clerk's Department with respect to draft agreement on con- ditions for the acquisition and use of landfill sites in the Township of ?ickering. METROPOLITAN TORONTO CLERK'S DEPARTMENT Second Floor, City Hall Toronto 1OO, Canada November 6, 1969. D. J. Plitz, Esq., Clerk-Administrator, Township of Pickering, 1710 Kingston Road, Picketing, Ontario. Dear Sir: The Metropolitan Toronto Executive Committee on November 4, 1969, had before it a report (November 3, 1969) from the Commissioner of Works forwarding a report (October 31, 1969) submitted by the negotiating team for Metropolitan Toronto relative to acquisition of refuse dis- posal sites in the Township of Pickering, recommending, subject to the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board, an agreement be entered into by the Metropolitan Corporation with the Township of Picketing in respect to the acquisition and use of the landfill sites in the Township, containing the terms and conditions set out in the report of the negotiating team (copy attached) and such other terms and conditions as the Metropolitan Solicitor may deem necessary to give effect thereto. The Executive Committee decided to recommend to the Metropolitan Toronto Council, for consideration on November 14, 1969, the adoption of the foregoing report of the Negotiating team for Metropolitan Toronto, such recommendation to be subject to the Township of Pickering agreeing to the amendment of the dates in Term No. 8 from January l, 1970 and January l, 1971, to May I in each case and also subject to the addition of the words "through Metropolitan Toronto tax levy" after the word "Toronto" in term No. ll, and in the event that the To~a~ship does not agree to such revisions, the recommendation is to be submitted to the Metropolitan Council without such revisions. As the meeting of the Metropolitan Council when the foregoing matter is to be considered is scheduled for November l&, 1969, it would be appreciated if your reply could be submitted to the Metropolitan Toronto Clerk prior to that date. Yours truly, A. HALL, Deputy Metropolitan Clerk The agreement had been negotiated between representatives of the Metro Toronto Executive Council and Reeve Williams, Deputy Reeve Chatten and the Township Engineer, P. Poulsson, P. Eng. over the last two years and it is now reaching the final stages of acceptance by the Metro Council at their forthcoming Council meeting scheduled for November l&th, 1969. Some members of Council felt that the agreement had been hastily put before them, and therefore needed more time to study the various clauses, and that reports should be received from the Department Heads on this matter before Council acceptance. Mr. P. Poulsson suggested that a further delay could result in problems to the Township as the Department of Health has given a two-months extension to an adjunction that no more burning may take place at the Township pit on the Fifth Concession. The Township would be obliged to provide their own landfill sites which could cost up to $1OO,OOO.OO. The clanaes.~e~_.~utewere lO and 15, and in particular, 15, which it was felt takes out the heart of the agreement. Reeve Williams pointed out that Metro ~as spending $310,000.00 on roads in the Township, some of which had presented difficulties to the Township. He also advised that operations would probably not start until 1972 and certainly not before the Brock Road overpass at ~O1 is constructed. If the ~eement is not accepted by the Township, it would be taken to the ratio Municipal Board and if endorsed, the Township would have no say in the proposal. With respect to reports from the Department Heads, the Planning Bce rd has approved the proposed landfill sites on the 5th Concession, east of the Brock Road and on the Valley Farm Road; and further, the Police Department reported that they could foresee no problem. Councillor Nason expressed concern on the destruction of the area where the Royal Ontario Museum found relics of an Indian settlement. It was suggested that the Township Engineer request Metro to consult with the Royal Ontario Museum about the preservation of this particular area. The Council finalized the discussion by agreeing to the amendments ~E_R~olut i.o_~. In~str_~t_~io~ns to P~.,Po__u~ ~r.
