REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued}
Item 1 -St. Andrews Shell (Lateral Installation}
Mr. Stoecklin of St. Andrews Shell Station appeared before the Committee to
express his dissatisfaction with the account rendered by the Town for sewer
lateral installation work to his property. It was explained that this was due to
very bad ground conditions and the congestion of underground utilities. It was
not out of line with other accounts for work in similar conditions. The
Committee agreed to review the account to see if any recommendation could be made
to help Mr. Stoecklin. The Committee at a later meeting will review Town policy
on sewer lateral connectionsa
Item 2 -Reid & Associates Report (1979 Construction Programme}
The Committee agree that the previous decision to do sewer separation and road
reconstruction work on Larmont, Berczy and Metcalfe Streets is the correct one
and that this is the top priority in our reconstruction programme based on the
Road Needs Study.
The Committee agree with the report of the Industrial Committee that the work
on Ross Street, Industry Street and the rail crossing from Edward Street to the
new industrial road must be commenced next yeara If due to financial constraints,
all this work cannot be attempted next year, the Committee agree, with regret,
that the work on the roads for the Industrial subdivision take priority over the
Tbwn's normal construction programme.
In budget discussions for next year consideration will have to be given to doing
some of the work involved at the south end of the O.H.C. Subdivision.
Item 3 -Temperance Street Syphons
The Committee again discussed with the Town Engineers the problem of basement
flooding at 74 and 78 Temperance Street. The Engineers have reviewed the problem
and think that the best solution is a pumping system. They will report to a later
meeting with cost estimates after discussing the proposal with the homeowners
involved.
Item 4 -Re-Alignment of Edward Street
This work can be carried out under this year's maintenance budget and the
Committee recommend·that the Town Superintendent be instructed to carry out the
work as soon as possible.
Item 5 -M.T.C. Training Courses
The Town Superintendent reported that he did not recommend sending any Town Staff
on M.T.C. Courses this year.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Item 6 -Pump Stations (Yonge Street North and the S.T.P.)
The Committee recommend that Reid and Associates be instructed to prepare the
necessary contract documents for the improvements of the pumping stations
servicing the area north of Mark Street. This work is required to service the
Markborough Subdivision and should be done next year.
Item 7 -Mr. I. Harris (Grade South of Keystone Court)
Mr. I. Harris appeared before the Committee regarding the surface water drainage
behind his property on Mark Street in the area of Keystone Court. The Engineer
explained the proposals to Mr. Harris.
Ostick:

Report #83 -Council in Coillitlittee ·;. ; -sewage Allotment
Councillor Tonner in the Chair.
Council in Committee meeting re: Sewage Allotment held September 26th, 1978
at 7:00p.m.
Present Were: Mayor Timpson, Councillors Miller, Ostick, E. Stewart, Tonner,
R. Hodgson, Commissione-r, Regional Engineering, W. Bando,
Regional Engineering Department and Paul Gleason, Reid & Associates.
Following a full discussion of the Town's Sanitary Sewer Capacity with regards to
Plant Capacity and present and future development, Council in Committee would
recommend that:
(1) The Region of York Commissioner of Engineering be advised that Council
confirms the population and Industrial growth projections previously
passed by Council on August 17th, 1978 insofar as capacity is being made
available and realizing that the population estimates are based on near
year end calculations, and
(2) That a draft agreement be considered which could phase the physical staging
of development of industrial use to allow a moderate increase in residential
capacity and to also provide for the possible monitoring of certain
Industrial Sanitary Sewer flows to establish whether or not predicted flow
capacities and actual use flows are reasonably in line or whether by "actual
use" more capacity from the plant might be available for diversion to
residential growth demands on an interim basis.
And further, that should Council agree with this approach, that a letter
be sent to the Commissioner of Engineering for his comments.
Timpson:
Ostick:
"Resolved that the Council in Committee Report #83 dated
