to Mosport's suggested name change. He circulated documentation dated

2 First Canadian Place, Toronto, M5X 1J5, requested that Members of the
Committee make a decision on this matter based on the public interest of the
Municipality as a whole. The decision should be based on two factors:
1. Econom ic - the advantages to Clarington are for the short and long term, the
operation of Mosport is rnore viable; it will enhance the commercial
component and tourism in the Municipality.
2. Historical - Mosport will pay for all the new signs and incorporate the old
name on these signs at their expense. He requested Members of the
Committee to approve this change of name or defer it until April or May
1996 until such time as Mosport can further liaise with Staff of the
Municipality.
