He explained that based on the residents' concerns, namely that the re-zoning would
have an adverse affect on their neighbourhood, he researched approximately 14 areas
in the City where there are institutions similar in nature to the one being proposed, and
concluded that the neighbourhoods were not impacted negatively, and that in many
cases there have been new homes built of a quality which enhances the areas.
Councillor Ball commended Councillor Chase for the time, expertise and
passion that he expended in this matter and noted that given all the comments in
support of the need for a shelter, that Council should be prepared to deal with the
question in the future.

16. Concept of New Sewer Treatment Plant
Consideration was given to a letter from Councillor Teed which built on a
recent discussion initiated by Councillor Desmond on the concept of a new sewer
treatment plant in the South End of the City.
On motion of Councillor Teed
Seconded by Councillor Desmond
RESOLVED that whereas the proposal
to direct waste water from the central area and southern part of the north end to the Little
River waste water treatment plant area could involve a number of sewerage lift pumping
stations with additional annual operating costs; and whereas a new treatment facility
might be able to be established along the western side of Courtney Bay which would not
interfere with future port development in the south area of the City, and would not require
the several pumping stations if the sewerage lines were to be continued to the eastern
site, that Council refer the matter to the City Manager for inquiry into the feasibility of
establishing a Courtney Bay site for waste water treatment from the central area of the
City.
Discussion followed with Mr. Groody advising that there has been work
being done based on a strategy established in 1993, and that this recommendation
would be inconsistent with this direction and would entail significant changes. He also
advised that a report to Council will be forthcoming this month.
The Mayor, Councillors Trites and Titus, expressed their view that staff
and consultants have already made recommendations, and that we need to rely on the
expertise of staff, and that Council should continue supporting the plan that is in place,
with Councillor Chase adding that there is a question of economy of scale considering
that there would be additional costs that would not occur if there was one treatment plant
serving one geographic area.
The Deputy City Manager advised that it would be appropriate for Mr.
Groody to complete his report and when it is presented to Council this month, if there are
still concerns, we can explore the concerns in greater depth.
On motion of Councillor Trites
Seconded by Councillor Fitzgerald
RESOLVED that the issue of waste
water treatment plant be tabled until after the receipt of the report from Municipal
Operations to be submitted this month.
Question being taken, the motion was carried with Councillors Teed and
Desmond voting nay.

QUE la proposition selon laquelle

Au cours de la discussion qui a suivi, M. Groody indique que des travaux

Le maire ainsi que les conseillers Trites et Titus indiquent que Ie
personnel et les consultants ont deja effectue des recommandations, qu'il est necessaire
de se fier a I'expertise du personnel et que Ie conseil doit continuer a appuyer Ie plan
actuel. Le conseiller Chase ajoute qu'il existe une question d'economies d'echelle,
puisque des couts supplementaires s'avereraient necessaires comparativement a
I'utilisation d'une seule usine de traitement desservant une zone geographique.
Le directeur general adjoint indique qu'il serait approprie que M. Groody
termine son rapport et que lorsqu'ille presentera au conseil au cours du mois, toute
inquietude persistante soit discutee en detail.

decisions to have some members of staff investigate some particular issue and report
