David Strain and David Steele, representing PACT, addressed the Committee with respect to the safety of the transfer offill from the Brock North Landfill Site to the Brock West Landfill Site. A letter was forwarded to Metro by PACT requesting answers to eight questions and Metro is failing to respond in a timely fashion. Their concerns include: the method of which the garbage will be moved from Brock North to Brock West, the monitoring of landfill gases by Metro, the gas testing period and the exposure to chemicals by the community. The garbage should be moved by an expert in landfill movement and the actual tonnage of garbage should be investigated. In a previous report, Metro advised that they would cover the site at night but now say that such a statement was not made. Mr. Strain asked the Committee to request a reply from Metro to PACT's questions. ~ 3. Richard Ward addressed the Committee with respect to development charges. He congratulated the Mover and Seconder on this Motion and stated that this is a tool which regulates developers. If the Province proceeds with their recommendation than a freeze should be put on building permits. 4.

The following persons addressed the Committee with respect to the purchase of the former Keen Kraft Marina lands: w a) Barry Farquarson, 675 Front Road, representing other residents of Front Road asked the Committee to advise who approached MTRCA concerning this purchase and how is the Town benefiting from giving up 20% of the property with no savings to taxpayers. It is his understanding that the Town could not sell off lands without public input but that a by-law was being passed which would forego this. b) James Priest, 673 Front Road, questioned if the author of Report L143/96 was in the Chambers. He stated his surprise that the residents of the privately owned properties in the vicinity were not approached and acc~ss across these properties should be considered. He hoped that the condition in the offer to purchase which states that all debris will be removed includes the blue building. c) Laura Spence, 665 Front Road questioned' why the cost goes up to $1,150,000 when it can be purchased at $900,000. ~ 98 am MA TIERS FOR CONSIDERATION 1.
