Councilors spar as developer shot down By IREME GENTILE The Champion H.D. Investments bas tout another round in a battle over dèvelopment at the EC Dnury school complex. But pmocedurat wrangling and sniping among bitter- ly divided Milton counicillors clouded the controver- sial decision Monday night. A throng jammed the chamber as counciltoru backed a committee decision quashing an in-depth report on the proposed devetopment. It involves building a seniors' retirement subdivi- sion on tic site. That would effectively kibosh the proposai at the Town tevel, though developers could launch an appeal to the Ontari o Municipal Board. A O 80-bed nursing home is still under conuideration for the 33-acre parcel of land, the largest remaining green space in urban Milton. The first fracas erupted after Councillor Art Melauison held a vote approving the committee dcci- sion witliout liearing from 10 detegations listed to speak on thie issue. Mr. Melanson was scrving as acting mayor in the absence of Gord Krantz, away at a conference. The vote infuriated Councillor Rick Day, who said that it should have been called onty affer tbc delega- tions had been heard. "I've neyer scen this before, wben someone was tisted as a deputation and was told they can't spcak," he said. "tt's unlueard of, Mr. chairman. Unheard of." The detegates had ail been given that chance at a May 26 public meeting on.the issue, retorted Councitior John Challinor. "Everyone who is listed bere bad an opportunity to come forward, it was a public meeting," he said. "Counicif for Day is grandstanding on this. Procedure bas been followed." Once the vote bas been caat, the case is closed, said Counicîllor Bian Penman. "After five bours of deliberation (on May 26) there was a resolution voted on," he recalled. "Att we' ve done is approve the labours done the other nighb. It scems to, me this is due process." Counciltor Rick Malboeuf called for a new vote after accusing bis colleagues of rushing Uic tirst one. A new vote was vehemently opposed by Mr. Chalfinor. "If you want to listen to the delegations, that's one thing " he said. "But we voted on Uiis." At Uic suggestion of Councillor Wally Hunmer, delle- gabes wcre invited to, speak provided they added new points to the debate instead of simply covering old ground. No sooner had the 10 delegates wrapped up Uian a second concroversy exploded over Uic possibility of reconsidering thse earlier vote. A reconsiderabion - which would require a two- thirds vote to pass - would effectively re-open the issue, atlowing counicillors to vote again on the matter. TIse vote was fair and square Uic first time, said Mr. Challinor. "The videotape is righb there," he said, pointing to the cable television crew. "We voted on this tomùght." *s.e DONNYBROOK on page 14 ODU"A&" RM MUESEal DIT UESCUSO MA.-IEMNTa Jacqudfls MB ma Grade "A" News at MDHS By Jacqueline Bass and Marssa Cheskey if's the end ot anothîr hazy, humid and HOT week here ut M.D.H.S.
