Mr. Bertrand requested that the Committee recommend that Council adopt Report PSD-071-09. In Mr. Bertrand's opinion, the Report raises some valid concerns which should be addressed and that the concerns are ones that were present in the earlier phases of the -4- General Purpose and Administration Committee Minutes July 6, 2009 project which still have not been addressed. He stated that site selection does matter and that if the site selection process is not transparent, traceable, replicable, logical and systematic then it may not be conclusive. Mr. Bertrand expressed concerns with sections 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.3.3, and 3.2.11 of Report PSD-071-09. He would like to see the questions raised regarding the economic assessment technical study report answered, and the contract with the peer reviewers extended.

Mr. Ward expressed concerns over the timing of the Order for the property clean-up. He stated that the vehicles which were removed from his property were not derelict vehicles nor were they abandoned.

Mr. Ward requested that a recorded vote be taken regarding this request of Council. Angie Darlison addressed the Committee regarding Report CSD-013-09. Ms. Darlison informed the Committee that the Clarington Older Adults Association is working closely with staff regarding the use of satellite locations and feels this is a positive move.
