Council.
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.

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.

"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.

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.
