Mr. Nuspl referred to a document entitled "Durham Mall" designed to pinpoint the real issues and asked Council to consider the following: _ Until 1~ years ago, there were no competitive markets adjacent to the Town; _ To-day there is change and new merchandising projects do exist; Four major developments now in fringe area outside Town's boundary; _ All new developments impact this municipality. Mr. Nuspl requested, that Council review the facts, approve the project and let Pythbow help in making the Bowmanville area part of the developing competitive market. Council Minutes . Pythbow Developments Mr. Ken Hooper, re Non-Union Staff Pol icies . Pythbow Developments . - 2 - November 28, 1983 Resolution #C-852-83 Moved by Councillor Cowman, seconded by Councillor Taylor THAT the rules be suspended to permit Mr. Henry Joseph to speak with respect to the Pythbow Development proposal. "CARRIED" Mr. Henry Joseph advised Council, that he had been engaged by Pythbow to undertake a market study. He reported, that his analysis of the market suggested that the area has a capacity to carry such a development. Referring to a 1979 study carried out by I.B.I. he stated, that Pythbow was proposing a project which paralelled the recommendations in the study. Further, his study showed that the earlier findings by I.B.I. were still valid. It was his opinion, that the negative impact on the business community would be about 15%, but would ultimately be of benefit to the Town. Mr. Ken Hooper 140 Ontario Street, Bowmanville, addressed Council with respect to certain matters of concern to him as a taxpayer in the Town of Newcastle. He asked Council to review certain activities relating to non-union staff. In particular, he asked that they review the non-union staff bonus system, vacation entitlements and their validity. Finally, he requested that Council reply to his earlier letter which essentially dealt with the same matters and provide him with a reply to the questions raised in it. Resolution #C-853-83 Moved by Councillor Taylor, seconded by Councillor Hamre THAT the four additional persons requesting to delegations, be permitted to address Council. Webster, Mr. John Gasson, Mr. Reg Bradley, Mr. appear as (Mr. George Roy Jeffers) "CARRIED" Mr. George Webster, Chairman, Board of Management, Bowmanville Business Improvement Area, addressed Council with respect to the Pythbow Development Project. He advised, that he was in attendance in response to the proposed project and to show Council that the Bowmanville B.I.A. were in support of Council's decision to oppose the approval of the project. Mr. Webster reported that a market study undertaken by the Bowmanville B.I.A., showed that the area would be overloaded with retail space until 1991, if the project were to be approved. Further, he indicated that the Bowmanville Mall ought to be supported by Council in their search for a junior department store. Finally, he asked that Council oppose the Pythbow Development, not approve the Official Plan Amendment, or the zoning and give their support to the development of businesses already in place and wishing to expand. Council Mi nutes ~ Pythbow Developments Ice Time - Darlington Sports Centre ~ Recess Communications ~ - 3 - November 28, 1983 Mr. John Gasson, Vice-President, Rescom, Managers of the Bowmanville Mall, addressed Council respecting the proposed Pythbow Development Project. He indicated, that they were still talking to a prospective junior department store chain who would in all probability, come to Bowmanville if the Pythbow project was not to proceed. Until the proposed development was finally dealt with by Council, he believed there was little hope that they could secure a department store tenant for the Mall. Finally, Mr. Gasson indicated, that the owners of the Mall were prepared to take the case to the Ontario Municipal Board if necessary. Mr. Reg Bradley addressed Council with respect to problems his hockey teams were experiencing relating to ice time in the Darlington Arena. He advised, that the "select" novice league (made up of 7 and 8 year olds) had an ice time of 7:00 a.m. for practices. They want to change the time to a later hour but were unable to do so because the Bowmanville Minor Hockey Association (B.M.H.A.) had contracted out their remaining ice time to Oshawa Hockey Teams. He was of the opinion that the taxpayers of the Town ought to have first call on ice time in Municipal Arenas. Mr. Roy Jeffers, Bowmanville Minor Hockey Association (B.M.H.A.) advised Council, that the B.M.H.A. had 37.5 hours assigned to it. The cost of this time was $52.50 per hour and, it was anticipated that the bill for 1983-84 would be $60,000. Briefly, he indicated that ice time was held open for local teams and, once they have the time they need, any surplus is contracted to teams from other areas. In this case, there was surplus time and, because the B.M.H.A. must pay for the total time allocated, it was rented by contract to Oshawa Teams. In future, he suggested that surplus time would be returned to the Town on the assurance, that 37~ hours of ice time would be assigned to the B.M.H.A. each year.
