Mr. LloYd Stephenson, 106 King Street East, Newcastle, LlB 1H5, advised
Council of his concern regarding the municipality's process of sidewalk clearing
on a complaint basis and then invoicing the homeowner. He indicated that
many citizens do clear their sidewalks, however, when the municipality's
snowplows clear the roads, the sidewalks are then again snow covered. Mr.
Stephenson suggested that the municipality should undertake a program of
clearing all sidewalks municipality-wide.
Mr. LloYd Stephenson, 106 King Street East, Newcastle, LIB 1H5, addressed
Council with respect to the formation of the Community Liaison Group to
address the clean-up of the Port Granby site and indicated his displeasure with
taxpayers' money being spent for this purpose. It is his opinion that the
materials located on the site would be better left alone rather than attempting
to move them.

Mayor Hamre welcomed the Junior Patrol of the Seventh Bowmanville Scout
Group to the Council meeting who are working toward their Citizenship badge.
Mrs. Muriel Krizanc, 1663 Nash Road, Box 60, Courtice, LlE 1S8, together
with Brad Greentree, addressed Council on behalf of the Courtice Community
Centre Fundraising Committee. Mrs. Krizanc advised that the reaidents of
Courtice and the Courtice Area Community Association, is looking to Council
for strong support for the building of a community centre. She advised that
during the summer of 1993, a survey of the area was undertaken by Don
Lamont and Associates which indicated that very few people believed that the
original fundraising target of $1.2 million was unrealistic. Rather, most
indicators pointed to $800,000 as attainable. Mrs. Krizanc requested the
following:
1. That based on a fundraisiog commitment of $800,000 by the Courtice
Community, the reality of a Courtice Community Centre will be
assured and will be a project for the 1994/95 operational year;
2. That Council set aside seed money in the amount of $50,000 which can
be drawn on to establish a campaign office and assist in its early
operation;
3.
That an artist's rendering of the complex and a statement of services
to be offered in the complex, be available for use in the campaign;
4. That the complex include a library, swimming pool, health centre and
meeting rooms; and
5. That a commitment to the community centre be made prior to spring
of 1994.
