Couocil were contrary to some of the guidelines set out by the Siting
Task Force, however, all of the terms of the Town were agreed to
and, in filet, all municipalities came away from the workshop with a
better agreement because of the Town's conditions. She stated that
the conditions still stick to the principle of the original agreement,
however, they can now be implemented in a way that best suits the
individual communities. The municipality has agreed to have its
Community Liaison Group operating within three months and the
Siting Task Force will be appearing before Council. The group
