Ile said they could scrap the whole project and begin again with a smaller plant but it is a "hard pill to swallow" to walk away from all the funding and even if that swans a lot less money, without the grants they may be no further ahead. "South Huron's opinion that a phased in single train facility is the best option for where this municipality is today". The gallery was permitted to ask questions, something that had not been permitted previously. Lambton Shores 'only Speak said he wants to see due diligence for people who will be paying for this treatment plant for num)/ years to conte. Ile asked 1)r. Tasfi if Dillon would be posting a performance bond and would there be a warranty to ensure the facility would perform as advertised until the 2031 project timing. '11►sfi saki they do professional practices and profes- sional design they stand by this. Speak asked wanted assurance that if they found out the information was not 100 per cent accurate was that a loop hole to get out of it. Dr, Tilsit if they were planning on changing the design, South Iheron deputy mayor, Jim Dietrich said the deadline is nearing and they keep falling back. "We need to move for- ward;' he said offering a motion to receive pre -qualifications by the next board meeting so they will he able to get tenders for this long awaited project. Ile said with the December 31 deadline to snake their decisions, they keep falling hack on the stone things and there is a need to go forward. 1)r. '1'asfi said that could he done within 6 weeks. They will look for costs for phased in and full built out. 1.umbton Shores deputy mayor Elizabeth Davis Dagg (alternate as Doug I3onesteel was not in attendance) said this Is premature to want to go forward and she would like to talk to someone else, like another engineer, Dr, 'L'asft said there are aspects of the project that can be in the tenders as optional. Davis Dagg said they should not make decisions In haste. George Robertson, South lluron mayor said they are already a year behind, "We were supposed to start this last September and all questions have been asked and answered; he told Davis Dagg, Dietrich said they need to move 00 and said without seeing the numbers first; getting other engineers is not spending money wisely. I le said they have already vested a lot of time and money and need to get going. Ocher members agreed saying they want to get numbers and move on, 1BIuewater mayor 13111 Rowson said if tenders are out of line they could bring in another opinion but that the motion "today" is to go forward. Dietrich's motion was carried with Davis Dagg being the only nay vote. She then made a motion to bring in three engineers to consider the preliminary quotes and documen- tation they have and to provide costs. 'Ihe hoard feels that the report from the Zone 3 group is good and considers that a second opinion. 'Ihe Davis Dagg motion was lost with only Davis Dagg and Illuewater deputy mayor Paul Knopp voting 11 favour. 4 rapacity :opacity allocation was the last item on the agenda and South Huron is concerned with published information that there is no present allocation for South 1 iuron. It is not future allocation this municipality has issue with, they want to make sure if someone comes along now who wales to build they don't want to turn them away because of the limited capacity in the current lagoons. lantbton Shores mayor Bill Weber said there would be no argument from Lampton Shores in this regard. "We don't want to see anyone lose a development. That has been the spirit all along, Weber told Robertson, Lanlbton Shores CA() John Byrne said he and South I luron's CAO Roy !lardy have been working together and this concern is out of the realm of this board as it concerns the current lagoons but that the two CAOs will work together and Robertson said that was all they wanted to hear.
