These included a $100,000 bond to be posted by Athika guaranteeing that the well be constructed, and in addition a demand that Athika not be granted water rights for residential and commercial development until one year after at least 40 per cent of a 28-acre industr- ial park south of Port Perry had been developed. Speaking for Athika, Mr. Bruce Mackey 'said if his client were forced to wait a year before water could be available for commercial andresidential development, the entire project, including the industrial park would be in jeopardy, with the ex- ception of the Coulter plant now under construction. Still speaking for his client, Mr. Mackey said that two companies (whose names he could not reveal) have ex- pressed written interest in occupying a site at the industrial park no later than the end of November this year.

Reach has been seeking a Roads Superintendent since Buster Stevens passed away several weeks ago. gh Mr. Mackey reiterated that his client would not accept the time limit proposal. Mr. Kenny then read a motion that had been pre- pared beforehand stating that the proposed well would be constructed by the Village; a policy would be established to determine levies or charges for capital costs with regards to any future development or con- struction in Reach Township (capital costs such as servic- ing that would have to be absorbed by Port Perry.)
