REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF
JANUARY 21, 1985.
CD-1-85 - File: 35.23.10.
SUBJECT: DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION BY THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE RESPECTING
THE ADVANTAGES OF THE MUNICIPALITY AS AN INDUSTRIAL, AGRICULTURAL,
BUSINESS, EDUCATIONAL RECREATIONAL OR VACATION CENTRE.
• RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. That this report be received; and
2. That the by-law attached to this report be recommended to Council for
passage; and
3. That the Regional Municipality of Durham be advised of the actions taken
by Council.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
By letter dated February 22nd 1984, the Region of Durham advised the Town of
Newcastle of the passage of a Regional By-law authorizing the Councils of area
municipalities to disseminate information respecting the advantages of the
municipality as an industrial, agricultural, business, educational, recreational
or vacation centre.
Council, at the meeting of March 12th 1984, referred the correspondence and
attached authorizing by-law "to staff for review and a report."

As directed, a by-law was drafted and forwarded to the Administrator for review.
Concern- was expressed about the wording in the Regional By-law which granted
authority to the area municipalities to disseminate information "without any terms
or conditions", while at the same time, requiring the local municipality to
"ensure that the programs and policies carried out are complementary to the
programs and policies of the Regional Municipality of Durham." This apparent
conflict was the subject of dialogue between the Administrator and Regional
Staff, and it would appear that the clauses are not intended to be contradictory.
It would seem, that the section referring to Regional Programs and Policids was
included to make the area municipalities aware of the role that the Region plays
in the industrial development field.
• The Administrator requested that a by-law be prepared for Committee's
consideration. If members of Committee find the by-law attached hereto to be
in order and of sufficient detail for the Town's purposes, it is recommended
that the by-law be forwarded to Council for passage and the Region advised of
the actions taken.
Respectfully submitted,
