It was AGREED that Council meet as Committee of the Whole on the night
of June 11th, 1965, with Mr. L. .Shankman to discuss various problems
which noW exist in the Bay Ridges subdivision, and that a further
meeting with the ratepayers of Bay Ridges be arranged for the night of
June 18th.~1965, at 8 p.m. Clerk to contact the principals involved
to advise of these meetings.
MOVED by Mr. Newman, seconded by Mr. Waring, that Mr. Gordon Devonshire
be heard. CARRIED
Mr. Devonshire was here on behalf of his client, Perpetual Industries
Limited, and to object strongly to the decision of Council, feeling
his client's offer to purchase Township property (4.99 acres in part
Lot 20, Concession l) did not receive proper consideration.
Council's acceptance of the offer from Brian C. Stark was, in his
opinion, premature, since it was agreed by Council a final decision
would not be made until the meeting of June 7th, 1965. It was decided
that the decision made by Council at their meeting of May 31st would
stand. However if Mr. Devonshire wished to leave his client's revised
offer with the Clerk they would review same.
Mr. L. Winberg, principal of Perpetual Industries Limited, requested
that they be invited to the meeting at which the By-Law authorizing
the agreement with Brian C. Stark is to be signed. It was agreed that
he be notified.
