JUNE 7, 2001CITY OF KITCHENER
The Environmental Committee met this date, commencing at 4:20 p.m., under Councillor B. Vrbanovic,
Chair, with the following members present: Mayor C. Zehr, Councillor M. Galloway and Mr. B. Krafcheck.
Officials Present:Ms. B. Steiner, Ms. J. Billett and Messrs. B. Stanley and D. Daly.
Councillor B. Vrbanovic advised that a quorum of members was not present and would not be achievable
due to work commitments of several citizen representatives on the Committee. Accordingly, Councillor
Vrbanovic advised that a decision had been made to adjourn the meeting and extended apologies for any
inconvenience this may have caused for those in attendance.
Prior to adjourning, Mayor C. Zehr spoke briefly to the first item on the Committee’s agenda relative to the
proposal of General Environmental Group to operate a soil recycling plant at 90 Woodside Avenue.
Several additional dates for consideration of this proposal had been spoken of at the Public Open House
held earlier this week, being June 11 and 25. In this regard, Mayor Zehr advised that at the next Council
meeting to be held on June 11, Council intended only to formalize a request to the Ministry of
Environment for a further extension to the comment period and there would be no debate that evening
relative to the facts of General Environmental Group’s proposal. He pointed out that, should a further
extension be granted, it would provide additional time for all concerned to deal with this issue.
Councillor B. Vrbanovic advised all in attendance who wished to be notified of any additional meetings of
the Environmental Committee that may be held to discuss this proposal, to leave their contact information
with the Committee Administrator.
