Ladies
and Gentlemen
I’m back…..
….and we are into the thick of the municipal election. I
have made a decision to keep politics out of News from the Town. That said,
I am running for re-election as mayor, so if you wish to find out more about my
campaign please send me an e-mail. At last check there were some 25 candidates signed
up for municipal office, including 5 running for mayor. This truly is your “year
of making decisions”.
*****
Monday September 8th will see our first General
Committee meeting in some time. It starts at 7:00 pm at Town Hall and has one
of the shortest agendas that I can recall.
You will hear about:
-
The International Plowing Match that starts next
week outside of Barrie
-
Update on operational changes stemming from
the KPMG report
-
A “one foot municipal reserve” recommended
for properties along Lakewood Dr.
On Wednesday September 10th it’s back to Town
Hall at 6:00 pm for the first public meeting on our 2015 budget. This Council will propose a budget but it
will be left to the new Council to actually pass it or not.
Thursday will be a busy day starting at 9:00 am at the
County for a meeting of the Housing Advisory Committee. I chair this County
Committee that is recommending ways to bring better housing options to the
residents of North Simcoe.
At 1:30 pm I will be at the Library for the launch of the
Downtown Master Plan project. Our consultants, Urban Strategies will be there
to answer questions and start the process with a walkabout. At 2:00 pm, at Penetanguishene
General Hospital, Mayor Marshall has set up a special meeting with GBGH to further
discuss the closing of PGH. And to round out the day, Judy Rebbick a celebrated
feminist and social advocate will be at the MCC at 7:30 pm. Proceeds from the event
will support our Rosewood Shelter.
Friday the 12th at 11:00 am is the regular meeting
of our Waterfront Steering Committee at the Town - always interesting.
