How they voted on the moratorium

August 27th, 2009
This morning, we received the following list from the Simcoe County Clerk’s office that shows how county council members voted on Tuesday – 22-10. The number at the end of each line is the weighting of that councillor’s vote according to population. We were reminded that “this information is considered to be draft until such time as County Council approves the minutes.”

BE IT RESOLVED THAT Simcoe County immediately halt construction and any further
development of waste facilities at Site 41 for a period of at least one year so that:
i) the public release, and independent review, of all pertinent information
concerning the environmental impacts of operating a waste facility at Site 41 can
occur;
ii) meaningful consultations take place with local residents and cottagers, First
Nations groups and other organizations that have raised concerns about the
environmental impacts of establishing a waste facility at Site 41; and that
iii) the suitability of Site 41 for waste management use be assessed in light of the
source water protection planning mandated by the Clean Water Act.
