tradesman for commercial and margot marshall no new employee industrial inspections if we dont acquire a building inspector we are shirking our responsibilities under the building code panizza said incorrect he added that marshall is incorrect when she stated there is no need for an inspector we do have the workload to justify hiring an inspector in fact were still completing work from 1988 and 1989 panizza said and ward 6 councillor jim sanders said he trusts staff assessment of the matter need the report shows we need a person if we ever want to help the community get out of the recession well need an inspector who can do the job properly its a very important overview position as far as the economy is concerned sanders said however marshall said the backload is from the early 80s building boom and also because people take so long to complete renovations we do not need another permanent employee marshall added however council voted to support staff recommendations and hire a building inspector marshall was alone in her vote against the motion york region spent about 46 million last year on recycling initiatives and less garbage to keele valley landfill site in vaughan proves the efforts are making a difference neil embree director of the municipal branch of yorks engineering department released statistics to the tribune last week that show the region is making headway in garbage diversion from the landfill there is absolutely no question recycling is making a difference embree said figures down statistics show york dumped 426080 metric tonnes of waste in keele valley in 1990 down from 485655 metric tonnes in 1989 these figures coincide with yorks population which is growing at a steady rate the latest figures show yorks population was 473057 is 1990 up from 458000 in 1989 in 1989 each person in york dumped about 1 metric tonne of garbage in keele but 1990 figures show a decline in the amount of waste entering the landfill site embree said recycling these figures are encouraging but cannot honestly be attributed solely on recycling efforts embree said he pointed out a downturn in the economy which has caused an alarming number of business bankruptcies are also partly responsible for the downturn he added v businesses are closing and therefore are not producing the garbage however yorks continued efforts in recycling are making a positive difference and the region will continue to fight the garbage crisis embree said final tallies in for ward 2 the final vote results from the feb 25 ward 2 byelection are as follows stephen

opponents concerned about its effects on the environment but it is also seen as having the potential to create an economic boon for the markham- stouffville area by its chief supporter markham aiport owner alan rubin whatever the view there are no definitive studies save for a noise study conducted inl984 when a limited expansion was proposed that reveal what a major expansion of the airport would mean to the environment that study indicates that few in thehwy 48- 18th ave proposal area would be adversely affected by noise levels from flights of light aircraft overhead but rubins plans include larger planes and the airport owner downplays the impact a major expansion would have on the environment pointing to advances in aeronautic technology and the airports relatively remote location rubin prefers to have his proposal viewed in the context of what it would mean to the area economy especially to the eroding industrial base of stouffville where he says he has substantial political support for his plans the environment is important rubin says but at what cost on the other hand those adamantly opposed to rubins plans including markham town council suggest a dramatic impact on the area environment despite the fact the surrounding area remains largely undeveloped and speak of longterm planning consequences that they say have not been considered will change the entire nature and shape of future growth and development in the area and involve untold millions of dollars in infrastructure costs the town didnt plan for a major international facility of the kind rubin is talking about says markham planning committee chair frank scarpitti the planning implications would be drastic and longterm they are to appear in court april 2 three nabbed three stouffville rd man were nabbed with
