On Monday April 27 there is a staff report about the future new Joint Operations Centre( (JOC).  This report reviews the process for expropriation of necessary land for such. As reviewed in the report there is a need to initiate the process although negotiations with affected property owners are currently in process. The proposed JOC would consolidate public works, fleet, Emergency Management into a single location enabling more efficient operations improved interdepartmental coordination and enhanced service response. The new facility is intended to support current operational requirements while accommodating anticipated growth and service demands through 2051 and beyond.  As indicated Township staff have undertaken preliminary site evaluation (south of 15^t and east of Weston Road) and due diligence to identify lands capable of meeting the requirements of a modern JOC facility.  To see all the appendices for the report go to Council agenda and scroll to 7.3.

As always deputations can be made. To do so please register at clerks@king.ca by noon on April 27 or If you prefer you can e-mail your comments to clerks@king.ca and they will be distributed to Council members and appropriate staff.
