2 from Whithy. 20 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, January 27, 1987 Emergency meeting deals partly with flooding claims Council held an emergency meeting on Monday to deal with two urgent matters. The first item of immediate con- cern was a resolution passed unanimously by the Council authorizing the Mayor to take all. reasonable steps to assist the C.A.W. in its efforts to prevent the closure of the Cadbury Plant and to make representation to Cadbury and Neilson in that regard with the assistance of the various Provincial and Federal Members of Parlia- ment and Leaders of the Opposition. In passing the resolution, the Coun- cil expressed its grave concern regarding the loss of jobs and the. impact on the affected employees and formally authorized Mayor At- If Durham College can't persuade the province to kick in additional monies to pay teachers' salaries, it might be forced not only to cut courses this spring, but ax a number of teachers as well. The College is presently dipping into its reserve funds to pay the ex- -tra 54 teachers hired last fall to meet new contract requirements limiting daily teaching time, and according to college president Mel Garland, the reserve funds won' 't last out the year. Hl 'Bugelli named as head of CLOCA AL its annual meeting held on January 13, 1987, the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority elected Joe E. Bugelli as its new chairman. Jack Wiley was re- elected as vice-chairman; and other appointments to the Executive Com- mittee were Joe Drumm, Marie Hubbard, - Lawrence Malcolm, Al Mason and Gary Valcour. The Authority also .wishes to gratefully acknowledge the stewardship of its past chairman for Loa five years, Joe Drumm FO m2. NSC NNNUSII § 171 TT College short of funds During the second week of January, college administrators met with the deputy minister and assistant deputy minister of the Ministry. of Colleges and Univer- sities during a two-hour marathon of talks attempting to convince the minjstry to increase the $13 million annual grant to Durham by five per- cent each year. Although the officials made no comment, Garland said his college will hope for the best and prepare for the worst. He added the ad- ministration is starting a complete 'review of courses and faculty to line up areas of possible cut-backs should they become necessary. This may mean limiting enrolment. lay- ing off teachers. and eliminating some programs. he explained. Until last year, Durham College boasted the most cost-efficient col- lege of applied arts and technology in the province and Garland said any cut backs would come at a time when the college's enrolment is in- creasing and several programs are under expansion' "The college's main problem is that the ministry funded only $1.3 million to pay teacher's salaries. while these actual salaries totalled $2.6 million. The $1 3 million allow- ed for by the ministry, was based on statistics taken during a year when Durham had an enrolment freeze. With the y basing funding on colleges fi of two years ago, it did not take into consideration the rapid growth of such colleges a as AT LAST!!! INSTANT PRINTING & " Now Two L IP wa x.

The second resolution requiring Council's immediate attention dealt with the Storm Water Flooding Study received recently from Tot- ten, Sims, Hubicki & Associates. In considering the matter, the Council instructed the Director of Public Works, Dick Kuwahara, to notify the affected property owners, in writing, that Public Work Shop meetings will be held by the Direc- tor and the Consultants as quickly as possible to discuss the specific problems and possible solutions af- fecting different areas of the com- munity. Those affected residents will be notified by letter from the . Director of Public Works of the date and time for their particular Work Shop. In addition, following the Public Work Shops, a presentation of the Study will be made at a future Meeting of the Operations Commit- lee, on a date still to be determined, where the report will be presented for the Operation Committee's and Council's consideration. The public's input received through the Work Shop sessions will also be presented to the Operations Com- mittee at its meeting. The letter will also 'contain the Consultant's recom- mendations regarding the various storm drainage problems under the jurisdiction of the Town of Whitby: The residents will also be advised that for those who had sanitary sewer related problems which come under the jurisdiction of the Region of Durham, specific preventative improvement works will be depen- dant upon the recommendations of the Region of Durham's Study cur- rently under way. The results of that Study have not been received by the Town of Whitby at this time. The Director will also advise those who have filed written claims with the Town that their claims are still with our Insurers and that they will be contacted at a later date by them regarding the disposition of their claims. The Region's Insurers have recently notified residents of Whit- by who filed claims with the Region of Durham regardirf their decision and indicated the avenue of recourse which should be followed if the claim is to be pursued with the Region of Durham. Note that any course of action intended must be taken indepently with the Region or | Town because of their different responsibilities over sanitary sewers and storm sewers respectively. A copy of the report is available for review at the Public Works Department offices by affected pro- perty owners. Any further par- ticulars or information regarding the Study or the Work Shop should be obtained through the office of the Director of Public Works, Mr. Kuwahara. Region needs $18million Durham will need $18 million a year from the provincial govern- ment if it is to improve its deficient and badly deteriorating road system. } So says the regional works and . planning committees as they sug- - gest that regional councillors vote to inform the ministry of transporta- tion and communications (MTC) that Durham is getting only one third of the money it requires to maintain an adequate road system. ~ Planning Commissioner Dr." Mofeed Michael has for some time stated, 'The region's road system's adequacy is slowly deteriorating and will continue to deteriorate large increase, in spending.' According to a report submitted by Dr. Michael, 74 percent of the region's roads were classified defi- .cient .in. 1985. . These figures were... presented to the Greater Toronto Area Transportation Planning Forum. It was also suggested that at current road spending levels of $5.4 million annually, it would take 29 years to improve the road situation. If council agrees with the report on Wednesday, the region will pre- sent a brief to MTC minister Ed Fulton asking for more money for maintenance and construction; the GO train extension continued to Oshawa and Courtice; the widening of Highway 401 to 12 lanes right out to Brock Road in Pickering; new 401 interchanges at Lake Ridge Road (Durham 23) in Whitby Stevenson Road in Oshawa; and the linking of Taunton Road West i in Durham with Steeles Avenue East in: Toronto.

But 20 percent of 'this construction money was used for resurfacing during 1986. These figures are a far cry from the $129 million said to be required for actual construction needs in 1985. The report stated communities along Lake Ontario needed money for road widening to bring country roads up to urban standards as the population grows. But money spent' on urban roads, which makes up a quarter of the region's system, takes funds away from rural roads, many of which are suffering great- ly from over use by heavy trucks. These well-used roads, particulari- ly those used constantly by gravel trucks, need resurfacing twice as ---often-as regular-usage roads, mak- ing maintenance costs higher.
