Meetings for
2000 - 2003
Mayor Mutton addressed the Members of Council and stated that this
Council is heading into some major defining moments for the future of
Clarington. We will be dealing with the pressures from growth in the field
of Community Services by building a new twin pad arena and putting a
second on the short term horizon and moving forward on the Longworth
Avenue extension in north Bowmanville which will lesson traffic
congestion through Bowmanville and provide residents with a more
efficient route for people and goods. This term of Council will also
provide great opportunity for economic development as the ITER project
is well within our reach. We will also see the ground breaking of the new
water pollution control plant that will fully service industrial lands in the
southern portion of Courtice. We will continue to expand on the quality of
our services looking at increased transit services, more police officer and
enhance emergency services. We will be dealing with the GTSB review at
the Regional level. We will be very shortly looking at the
decommissioning of some works depots which Clarington has combined
to local and one regional. Efficiencies will be realised this term. Mayor
Mutton stated that we must continue to pressure our five MPPs in Durham
in order to get increased dollars for infrastructure. He stressed that he is
eager to build a term of Council and call on each member to step up and
playa major role in this defining term.
