It didn’t take long for Cannington area resident Fran Fish to share her feeling on the mayoral vacancy with members of council.
“I don’t know why this is such a diffi cult decision to make,” she said during an impromptu deputation at Monday’s meeting.
“When I voted back in October, there were two names on the ballot -- Larry O’Connor and Terry Clayton. Since O’Connor has resigned, you should appoint Clayton.”
Mr. O’Connor beat Mr. Clayton in the Oct. 25 election by 13 votes, though more than 230 ballots that were cast went uncounted for a variety of reasons.
That narrow margin of victory prompted Cannington resident Herb Goldie to initiate court proceedings in mid November calling for a recount, with the aim that all of the ballots cast be scrutinized by election staff and counted if valid.
A few weeks after a hearing at the Ontario Superior Court in Oshawa on Dec. 10, Justice Peter Lauwers ruled that only 76 of the ballots be considered for the recount.
The recount was held Jan. 18 and Mr. O’Connor was once again named the victor -- this time by three votes. However, only 57 were counted. The remaining 19 were not processed as they did not include signed voter declaration forms.
Less than a week after the recount, Mr. Goldie appealed Justice Lauwers’ ruling. In early February, Mayor O’Connor fi led a cross-appeal disputing the original ruling.
In a prepared statement announcing his resignation on March 28, Mayor O’Connor said he will “not be a party to those proceedings.”
“The appeals will continue to work their way through the courts and cost the taxpayers dollars. I did not ask for a judi-cial recount, nor appeals to the courts. However, as mayor, it was incumbent upon me, and in accordance with the prov-incial Municipal Elections Act, to have legal representation before the courts,” the statement reads.
The seat was formally declared vacant by council resolu-tion on April 4. The municipality has up to 60 days to decide on how to fi ll the vacancy, either through a by-election or appointment.

Council asked to appoint Clayton to mayor’s chair
BY SCOTT HOWARD
Brock Township is in the process of developing a formal policy on council expenses.
After a substantial increase in expenses during the last term of council, the issue became a focal point of campaigns leading up to the October 25 municipal elections.
While the previous term of council had requested a report on the matter in May of 2009, it was shelved during the summer recess and subsequent the election period.
CAO/Clerk Thom Gettinby’s report highlights the stark increase in expenses under Mayor Larry O’Connor.
From 2007 to 2010, the municipality shelled out $48,269 for council expenses -- more than quadrupling the total of their immediate predecessors.
According to the report, the previous council, which saw current Ward 4 councillor Keith Shier sitting at the head of the table, spent a little more than $11,100 over the course of
the term.The council before that, with Terry Clayton at the helm,
had $26,150 worth of expenses while in offi ce. Prior to the 2006 election, councils only served three years in offi ce.
The main cause for the stark difference in spending from one council to another is that all members of council attended the annual Ontario Good Roads Association and the Association of Municipalities Ontario conferences over the last term.
Previously, two or three members would represent the Township at the most and report back to councillors who did not attend.
The report notes that a number of expenses are already covered through the salary of council members, including a retirement plan contribution (fi ve per cent of salary) and a vehicle expense allowance for travel within the township.

Local fans have already begun to snap up tickets to Blue Rodeo’s show in Sunderland next month.
The iconic Canadian alt-rockers will return on Friday, May 20 for a date at the Sunderland Memorial Arena.
Blue Rodeo is still touring in support of The Things We Left Behind, the band’s 12th studio offering in a storied, nearly 30-year career. The double-disc was lauded by critics upon its release in November of 2009 and garnered the band a nomination for Group of the Year at the 2010 Juno Awards. Though they didn’t take home the award, it marked the 13th time Blue Rodeo has been nominated for that particular award.

In total, the band has collected 11 Juno Awards since 1989 -- the last coming in 2009 when they won Music DVD of the Year for greatest hits package Blue Road. The previous year, they won Alternative Album of the Year (for Small Miracles), Group of the Year, and Video of the Year (for the hit single C’Mon).
This will be the band’s 14th visit to Sunderland since 1992 but their popularity has never waned amongst local fans. The seemingly annual shows are a sell-out each and every time, with more than 1,200 fans dancing the night away.
“I think the poster for the event says it all,” said concert promoter Karen McKenna, who has teamed with the Sunderland Lions Club to present each performance.
General admission tickets to the age-of-majority concert cost $50 and went on sale last Sunday (April 9). They’re available at Pindar’s Esso in Sunderland, The Source in Port Perry as well as ReMax All-Stars Realty in Uxbridge.
Tickets can also be purchased online with a credit card at www.bluerodeo.com
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the show will be opened with special guest Sunbear.
Though relatively new on the scene, the Toronto based trio have developed quite a following.
Their second full-length disc, Moonbath, was produced by Greg Keelor of Blue Rodeo.
Concert a ‘tradition’ in Sunderland
Former Brock Mayor Larry O’Connor was praised for his efforts to improve his community and Durham as a whole at last week’s regional council meeting.
Regional councillor Debbie Bath, who has assumed the responsibilities as mayor for now since Mr. O’Connor’s resignation, spoke highly of her former colleague.
“He was well respected at both this level and the local level.”
Mr. O’Connor resigned on March 28, pointing to an ongoing recount for the mayor’s position stemming the October municipal election.
In a prepared statement announcing his resignation, Mr. O’Connor said “I remain confi dent the courts will confi rm the vote of the qualifi ed electorate in Brock, held on Oct. 25, 2010. However, a small group, who apparently were not satisfi ed with the voting results, have usurped council proceedings and the important work that
still needs to be done. In a continuance of the election campaign, the issue has become about me, not the Township’s election process that is the matter before the court.
“Accordingly, in the best interests of the Township, I am resigning as mayor effective immediately. Continuing this protracted election by way of the media is not productive,” he stated.
“It was with sadness that Brock council received the resignation of Larry O’Connor,” Coun. Bath told her regional council colleagues, adding Mr. O’Connor “worked to better” Brock.
Brock council declared the position vacant on April 4.
“Brock council is under an umbrella
of sadness. We are asking for time,” said Coun. Bath.
Mr. O’Connor was chair of the Region’s health and social services committee.
Regional Chairman Roger Anderson said, “Larry O’Connor has been in these chambers for as long as I have. We’re close friends.”
Mr. O’Connor will be invited back to a future council meeting and presented with a plaque for his service to the Region, Mr. Anderson added.
Whitby councillor Joe Drumm said Mr. O’Connor was “an extraordinary councillor.”
“With all due respect to everyone here, he’s a lot better than anyone else in this room...I sincerely hope he will reconsider his position. It’s a tremendous loss.”

The decision to close the North Durham satellite offi ce of Durham Hospice was a “business decision” and one that will not affect current levels of service, according to the organization’s executive director.
“We feel terrible about the decision because it is a loss to the community, but at the end of the day we couldn’t justify the cost of keeping it open,” said Karen Ormerod.
Ms. Ormerod said the decision to close the satellite offi ce, which was in Uxbridge, will not affect the level of service in area, adding the organization remains committed to establishing bereavement support groups and will continue to visit clients in the area.
“Our assessments happen in the home and that’s where our service is delivered,” she said, adding the Uxbridge offi ce did not receive many visitors and often sat empty. It cost the organization about $10,000 annually to run the offi ce.
Durham Hospice is a non-profi t organization that provides emotional, social, spiritual and physical support to individuals facing advanced illness, death or bereavement.
The organization’s team of more than 200 volunteers and staff offer palliative and bereavement services free of charge and are available to individuals living at home, in the hospital, long-term care centres, retirement facilities and shelters.
Last year, they served 23 clients in Uxbridge, 17 in Port Perry and nine in Brock.
The Uxbridge offi ce was opened in 1989 under the North Durham Hospice banner.
The North Durham Hospice was amalgamated with Hospice Durham by the Province in 2006. All operations currently run out of the Durham Hospice main offi ce in Whitby, which opened in September 2010.

To the editor:It seems to me there are still deep divisions
in our community when it comes to the question of who would serve our community best as mayor.
The result of the election was essentially tied, but clear -- Larry O’Conner won, twice. To challenge this result in court is legal, but also a very questionable way to democratize a society.
I don’t know how you feel, but for me it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Especially as the recount was properly done, as ruled by Justice Peter Lauwers of the Ontario Superior Court in Oshawa.
I was born and raised in former East Germany and have experienced the results of undemocratic and tainted elections several times and fi rsthand. It was one of the reasons why I escaped from this dictatorship before the wall came down.
As a proud Canadian citizen, and a citizen of Cannington, I feel very strongly about a fair election.
Now that Mayor Larry O’Connor has resigned, there should be a by-election, no matter what. To appoint the challenger of Larry O’Connor, Terry Clayton would be wrong and undemocratic. As I recall, Mr. Clayton was not the favoured candidate by half of the population.
So, let’s vote again -- and let the best man/woman win. Get out and vote but let’s do it right this time.
Everybody has the opportunity to have his vote counted but also a responsibility to fi ll their ballot out the correct way. If I buy a lottery ticket and make a mistake by fi lling it out, I can certainly not claim a win.
Juri Baillargeon-Klugmann
Cannington
To the editor:In light of Larry O’Connor’s resignation, I
hope council will take the opportunity to get this Township back in business by appointing Terry Clayton to the position.
I feel a by-election would be a huge waste of time and money. An election was already held and the voters of Brock Township were clearly split between the two candidates.
I was surprised to learn that council did not appoint Mr. Clayton at the fi rst meeting after the seat was vacated so that they can get on with running this Township instead of wasting more time.
I’m not sure exactly what the impact of the ongoing appeal is but there are only two scenarios.
The fi rst is that Mr. Clayton wins. The second scenario would see Mr. O’Connor retain the seat but he’s already given up the position. Why would Terry Clayton not be the obvious choice?
Any other action would further complicate
the legal process wouldn’t it?I know Mr. O’Connor’s articles repeat that
there will be a by-election but that is not necessary and would in fact only serve to cost the Township more money. Money that we cannot afford.
I encourage council to appoint Terry Clayton as mayor as he has already gained at least half of the Township’s vote through the fall election.
Appointing anyone else would not refl ect voter opinion. Furthermore, I suspect that anyone who would run in the by-election against Mr. Clayton would seem pretty opportunistic given they didn’t bother running back in the fall.
Residents deserve to elect their mayor and in this rare situation, it seems we almost equally elected two -- so why are members of council hesitating to appoint Mr. Clayton ?
J. ClementBeaverton
Do it right this time
Appointment of Terry Clayton would save time and money
To the editor:It is my understanding that council may
appoint someone to fi ll the position of mayor now that Larry O’Connor has resigned from the position.
In fact, that option seems very probable rather than go through the cost of a by-election. What did we go through all this for then?
If it really was about the electoral process and having every vote count then how can we possibly accept an appointment now?
I realize that everyone is a little battle weary but this is no time to get apathetic. Residents of Brock Township have a right to elect their mayor. Now that we recognize the fl aws in the system we have an opportunity to make every vote count this time.
Forget the mudslinging. Demand a by-election and cast your ballot carefully. Any other option is unacceptable.

It took a little longer than expected but the Brock Community Health Centre’s primary health care program has found a spot on Cannington’s main street.
The modular facility at 64 Cameron St. E. began serving clients on March 28 after moving from 123 Laidlaw St. S.
“The new location is a bright, fresh and inviting environment for clients and staff,” said Ron Ballantyne, executive director of the Brock Community Health Centre (CHC).
“The slightly larger area of the new unit will make it possible for additional members of the multidisciplinary team to be employed at our primary health care program. This may include a physiotherapist, a dietitian and a chiropodist.”
Landscaping and other site improvements are expected to be completed in early May.
An open house for the public will likely be scheduled later this spring, Mr. Ballantyne added.
The CHC’s primary health care program currently employs a physician, two nurse practitioners, a registered nurse and a social worker who assess, diagnose and treat a variety of individual and family health issues. The clinical team is supported by two medical secretaries and a receptionist. The program began operation in late September 2009 and currently serves close to 1,000 clients from
Brock Township and surrounding area.But even as the CHC staff settle into the
new location, they remain focused on the future.
The CHC has approval from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to issue a call for tenders for the demolition and site remediation at 39 Cameron St. W. -- the former Cannington Chrysler site that will one day be the location of a dedicated facility.
“This is terrifi c news. Our board of directors has worked tirelessly to bring health services to our community and to ensure that there are adequate facilities for the primary health and health promotion services we provide to the residents of Brock Township and vicinity. It is very reassuring to see this project moving forward,” said Larry O’Connor, chair of the CHC.
With funding from the Province, the CHC purchased the site in August 2008 with the intent of bringing its staff together under one roof.
Currently, staff work out of several leased locations in the township, including the Brock municipal offi ce.
A successful bidder for the demolition and site remediation should be announced by the middle of this year, Mr. Ballantyne said, with the new facility built within the next three years.

Brockʼs QuestionWhat does the new Cannington library
branch look like?BY SCOTT HOWARD
One of the area’s grandest old buildings has been restored to its past glory.
The revitalization of the Cannington Town Hall and conversion to the village’s library branch is nothing short of remarkable.
Named in honour of beloved author Timothy Findley, the project marks a $1.4-million investment from the federal government.
The overhaul of the historic building cost well over $2 million in all and was marred by a few budget overruns.
As crews set to work last fall, the scope of the project was immense.
“It’s a totally different building now. We stripped it right down to the bare walls. And when we saw how great the brick walls looked, we thought ‘Why would you ever want to cover them up?’” said Joe Bonura, Brock Township’s chief building offi cial.
“It was challenging to bring everything up to current standards while maintaining the historical fl air of the building.”
Exterior brickwork was extensively repaired and modern glass doorways were added to the front facade allowing a great deal of natural light to fl ow into the sprawling 3,600-square-foot main fl oor.
“The new facility will allow us to deliver the kind of service we’ve always wanted to in Cannington,” said Rona O’Banion, CAO of
Brock Township Libraries. While the old theatre upstairs was gutted
and saw a few touch-ups, it will remain closed to the public until an elevator or lift is installed and washrooms are added.
“There’s still lots of work to be done,” Mr. Bonura said.
But the library now has a new home and Cannington has a showcase for the community.
“This may sound funny, but it didn’t seem real to me until the carpet went down,” Ms O’Banion said with a laugh.
“It’s all been very exciting. The new branch is fabulous. It came out so wonderfully. The fi nished product is beyond our wildest expectations.”
The transition into the new building began this week as furniture was dropped off and shelving set up. The current branch, on Ann St. N., will close on April 14 while staff make the transition into the new building.
The Timothy Findley Memorial Library Branch will open its doors to the public on Tues., April 26. A grand opening will be held sometime in the fall.
“It’ll be nothing less than phenomenal when the door opens and the public walks in and sees the transformation of that building,” said regional councillor and acting mayor Debbie Bath.
“It’s a true work of art.”Joe Bonura recently opened the doors of the Timothy Findley Memorial Branch at the Cannington Town Hall for a quick tour. The front door opens into a large open concept area that will house the main collection. PHOTOS BY SCOTT HOWARD
The theatre upstairs saw some touch-ups as well, but will not be opened to the public.

A Spring Renovation Plan...That Really Measures Up!
1. Evaluate your needs in a realistic way. If you expect to sell your home in a few years, you won’t see things in the same way as if you plan to spend the rest of your life there. If you’re there for the long term, try to anticipate the needs of your family down the road; determine if the work you’re planning to do now will make sense in a few years’ time.
2. Your aesthetic desires are important, but major home maintenance should come fi rst. If your electric wiring is old and the roof is beginning to show its age, this kind of maintenance work should be carried out before you consider any other types of improvements to the house. The golden rule: maintenance before renovations. Ignore this particular guideline at your peril! You won’t enjoy your new sun room if rainwater is dripping through your ceiling elsewhere in the house.
3. Don’t go any further before having your plans approved by your municipality. Renovation regulations vary considerably from one town to another.
4. In order to prepare as precise a budget as possible, shop around for the different types of materials, comparing their prices as well as their durability. Plan for an extra 10 or 20 percent of your bud get to meet unexpected expenses, which have an amazing ability to sneak up and take you by surprise.
5. Now comes the critical step: the choice of contractor. Verify that he or she is well-established, has all the required permits, is a member of a professional association, and has worked on similar projects. Ask them for references, a detailed estimate, and a clear-cut contract with a deadline for completion of the work. Deciding to carry out at least some of the renovation work yourself will translate into substantial savings.
6. Once the work has started, be present at the worksite as much as possible in order to quickly detect any mistakes and rapidly resolve any problems by discussing them with the contractor.
Six steps to successful renovationsPerhaps you’ve fi nally decided to carry out the renovations that you’ve been dreaming about for years. But where to start? And how to avoid botching the job? It’s all a matter of careful planning. These ten steps are a guide to make your task easier; follow them, and you’re sure to be proud of your fi nished renovation project.

Planet EarthPlanet Earth
Earth Day Canada, April 22www.earthday.caThe planet has recently experienced two of the worst man-made environmentally distructive disasters in history. The massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 and the recent nuclear catastrophe in Japan. Although we are powerless as individuals to repair the damage that has been done, there are many things we can do as individuals to ensure the area we live in has as little negative impact to the environment as possible.
Because it’s right in the heart of the spring season, when many people feel rejuvenated after a long winter, now is the ideal time for men, women and children to take that extra energy they have in the spring and channel it into eco-friendly behaviors that benefi t the environment. To do just that, consider the following tips:
* Take a walk! Or a jog or a bike ride. Men and women can help reduce air pollution by walking, jogging or riding a bike to get from place to place. While this might not be doable across the board, particularly for men and women with long commutes, when running errands around town on the weekends dust off your bicycle instead of gassing up the car. If you’re taking kids to the park on the weekend, walk or bike to the park. It’s a great way to spend time outdoors and benefi t the environment at the same time.
* Plant a tree. Spring is a time of year when many homeowners get back to working on their yards. When cultivating your green thumb this spring, plant a tree or several trees around the yard. Also, when working outdoors, lessen your reliance on pesticides and chemical fertilizers. It might be diffi cult to eliminate their use entirely, but whenever possible look for more natural, eco-friendly alternatives to keep your lawn looking lush.
* Turn off the lights! Daylight Savings Time now starts earlier than it did in years past. The reason for that is to reduce energy use, which only works when people actually reduce their daily energy usage. If it’s still light outside, turn the lights off inside and enjoy a warm spring evening outdoors. Also, turn off power bars when the equipment connected to them is not in use. Power is still being used by many of today’s electronics devices to keep them in standby mode.
* Go paperless. Many businesses now encourage consumers to go paperless with their statements as a means to becoming more eco-friendly. Some even offer incentives to choose online statements over traditional paper statements. When possible, reduce waste by going paperless with bank and credit card and other billing statements.
* Use eco-friendly cleaning products. Many household cleaning products pose a threat to the environment by leaking harmful toxins into the air. When spring cleaning this year, choose non-toxic eco-friendly cleaning products that help reduce both air and water pollution.

SPECIAL TO THIS WEEK
Green Party candidate Susanne Lauten says Canada’s national debt stands at $56 billion and is growing by $135 million a day.
The issue of defi cit spending may not be how much is spent but what the money is spent on, says Ms Lauten.
“In a fi ve-year period our federal govern-ment has given $8.3 billion in subsidies to oil and gas companies and $17 billion to the nuclear industry over the past 40 years. That money could have been used to train doctors,” she said.
The Green Party is the only party to have submitted its debt-reduction plan to the Par-liamentary Budget Offi cer; the others are just waving theirs around, says Ms Lauten.
“The fi rst source of revenue would be to eliminate tax dollars spent on the oil and gas industry.”
Conservative candidate Barry Devolin says that interest has become so high on the national debt that money that would be spent to decrease it is being used to pay interest.
“Defi cits are like smoking, it’s hard but once you quit you say, ‘Man we are not doing this again,’” says Mr. Devolin.
“When interest rates go up you are very vulnerable.”
Mr. Devolin says this is due to 1970s gov-ernments running structural defi cits in all parties. By the 1990s, it was realized that a big contribution to the debt was interest rates.
Mr. Devolin says the Conservatives are not promising a big commitment to spending.
“You either raise taxes or you balance the budget and make plans for the future.”
NDP candidate Lyn Edwards says the money needs to be distributed differently and corporate tax cuts must be stopped.
“That money can be invested in the com-munity, the government coffers will benefi t because working people pay income tax and taxes on goods and services.”
This Week was unable to reach Liberal can-didate Laura Redman by press time.

SPECIAL TO THIS WEEK
Doctor shortages, long term care facilities, disease prevention and medical costs are all health care issues that local election candi-dates believe need to be addressed in the City of Kawartha Lakes.
For years residents of the City of Kawartha Lakes have struggled to fi nd permanent family doctors in the area and have spent hours waiting in hospital emergency room.
“A fi nancial incentive should be given to doctors to help pay of their student debt,”
says Green Party candidate Susanne Lauten.“Health professionals want to work in
a healthy area. They want to live in a place with safe drinking water. They don’t want to live in an area with out-of-control quarrying, mining or areas with toxic algae in their lakes.”
Conservative candidate Barry Devolin proposes that government relieve $40,000 in student loans for young doctors and $20,000 for nurses if they practice in rural areas.
He also suggested rather than each medical professional having their own offi ce, special-
ists in different medical areas could share an offi ce. This would alleviate the problem of patients waiting to see a family doctor, who would often refer them to a specialist anyway.
“The goal is to make sure everyone has a family doctor.”
NDP candidate Lyn Edwards says the shortage has been coming for years and there are now fi ve million Canadians without a doctor.
“Our services have been underfunded in past governments. We need to invest in 1,200
new doctors and 6,000 nurses and nurse practioners nationally.”
Ms Edwards says by also adding more long-term care facilities and trying to keep seniors living at home longer with the help of home care and support workers, this would free up emergency room and hospital bed wait times.
“We need to add long term health care to the Canadian Health Act. It doesn’t in its current form have long-term care.”
This Week was unable to speak with Liberal candidate Laura Redman by press time.
Doctor shortage is still the hot-button issue for electionLongterm care facilities are among healthcare issues that are priorities for voters
Candidates speak out on the national debt
“Defi cits are like smoking, it’s hard but once you quit you say, ‘Man we are not doing this again.’” BARRY DEVOLIN

Members of the 1st Cannington Scout Group are once again getting ready to roll up their sleeves to stamp out litter.
The group is hosting its annual clean-up of MacLeod Park and nature trails this Saturday (April 16) in advance of Pitch-in Canada Week, which runs from April 18 to 25.
“We have registered with Pitch-in Canada and issue a challenge to all other Scout and Guide groups in the area to pitch-in and pick up as much litter as 1st Cannington,” said group commissioner Lisa Schummer.
That’s no easy task. Since they started in 2006, the Cannington Scouts have removed more than a tonne of garbage from the park -- an average of more than 500 pounds each year.
Residents interested in taking part can head down to the park at 11 a.m. Garbage bags and gloves will be provided.
For more information, call Ms Schummer at 432-8449.

Brock High School students will be acting out next week.

The evening will feature a number of one-act plays performed by students in the senior drama class as well as the school’s drama club.
According to department head June Mewhort, many of the plays that will take the spotlight were penned by the students themselves.
“Most are student-led productions,” she said.
In between each performance, the school’s talented musicians will take the stage and the evening also features a display by visual arts students.
Admission costs $5 though elementary students can catch the show for free.
“This is a great way for our new students coming in from Grade 8 to get to know what the arts have to offer at Brock High School,” Ms Mewhort said.

Given the razor-thin election results, Ms Fish told councillors they should spare the expense of a by-election.
“We need to move on,” she said.“We can’t afford a by-election and there’s
no need for it.”While a decision on a by-election or
appointment could still be weeks away, council unanimously appointed Ward 5 councillor Ted Smith to fi ll the vacancy at regional council on an interim basis.
“As soon as a permanent mayor is in place, this appointment would cease to exist,” explained CAO/Clerk Thom Gettinby.
Ward 2 councillor Randy Skinner put forward the motion to appoint Coun. Smith.
“We’ve had three or four weeks of someone not sitting down there,” he said.
“He’s interested in doing the job and I think
he’ll do a great job.”Prior to the vote, Coun. Smith said it would
be an “honour” to represent the Township at the Region.
“Welcome to regional council,” said regional councillor and acting mayor Debbie Bath following the vote.
Later in the day, Ward 3 councillor Walter Schummer asked whether the Township had enough money set aside to cover the roughly $30,000 severance owed to Mr. O’Connor.
As per Township bylaw, each member of council collects one month’s salary for each year in offi ce.
Mr. O’Connor served as regional councillor for nine years and mayor for four full years.
According to treasurer Laura Barta, Mr. O’Connor will also receive a prorated amount for the three months he served prior to resigning.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Expenses are currently approved by council on a case-by-case basis -- through the yearly budget process, monthly fi nancial review and formal resolution. The report suggests those methods are enough oversight.
“Staff do not believe it necessary to develop a formal policy to address spending limits either collectively or individually.”
Despite that opinion, councillors directed staff to prepare an expense policy for review no later than August.
“My concern here is transparency,” said Ward 3 councillor Walter Schummer.
“We really can’t go wrong by having a policy.”
According to the report, township council has claimed an average of $8,552 in expenses
over the last 10 years. “Needless to say, this equates to a very
small portion of the total operating budget for the municipality,” the report reads.
The report states the Township of Scugog has budgeted $15,000 in 2011 for councillor’s attendance at conferences, meetings and miscellaneous expenses.
Uxbridge has set aide $10,500 for council expenses this year, with each member limited to $1,500 each.
Ward 3 councillor says Township ‘can’t go wrong’ with expense policy
