An invoice from Aston Investments, dated April 2, requests a payment of $167,000. That's the amount of money Scugog agreed to pay after entering into a sub- division agreement last June with Aston Investments, which is currently constructing homes on the east side of Union Ave., just north of Josephine St., with the Karvon firm. The funds requested are to cover the township's share of improvements to Union Ave. Funds to cover the cost of this agreement will come from the development charges fund, and not from the general levy. But Ward 2 Councillor Marilyn Pearce raised concerns about the invoice. "I'm extremely upset with the 'amount of money we have to pay. Most Councillors angered over invoice from developer of the stuff is not done, so why are they asking us to pay for it?" she asked. "If you look at it, some of it's done, some of it's done sort of, and some of it's definitely not done." ~The agreement calls for the installa- tion of water and sewer infrastructure, concrete curbs and gutters, driveway aprons, sidewalks, topsoil and sod, as well as the resurfacing of Union Ave. Terry Carson, the township's acting works director, told council he would contact project consultants Totten Sims Hubicki Associates to clarify the situation. Councillor Pearce also noted that she had problems with the state of streets, which are covered in mud and dirt. She also brought up the street signs in the subdivision, which are "little wooden street signs, while (the town- ship's) are green and sit on poles." The committee agreed to table any consideration of paying the invoice until further details could be provided to the township.
