Three weeks ago, Council settled on an option for the ward boundary review, but asked consultants Dr. Robert Williams and Jack Ammendolia of Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. to take into account a few other factors.
Having done so, Williams and Ammendolia returned with the finalized ward boundaries, which Council ultimately passed.
The decision was to go with Final Option 1, with some changes to the original.
“Council asked us at the last meeting to go back and look at certain modifications to Final Option 1 and report back with the analysis and what some of the impacts of those modifications might be,” said Ammendolia.
A proposed $124 million Anaerobic Digestion Facility Project in Brampton that will help Peel Region meet its waste diversion targets, as well as producing fertilizer and renewable natural gas, will be on Regional Council’s docket this July for final approval.
Mississauga Ward 6 Councillor Ron Starr, who chairs the Public Works Committee, has some reservations about the cost of the project as well as the processing costs, however, and asked that the matter be raised one last time at the next committee session on June 10.
“This is a big decision, and we want the best result possible,” he said at Thursday’s Regional Council meeting. “It’s a lot of money.”
