North Huron Township is preparing for Bill 8, a bill which deals with accountability and transparency by governments, which will be implemented by the Province of Ontario on Jan. 1, 2016. North Huron Township, in preparation for the bill, is looking to make some changes to the way staff and council will handle interactions with ratepayers. During their Dec. 7 meeting, councillors set out what they hope to see from the new bill. Councillor Brock Vodden said he found the bill interesting, pointing to the increasing role of the ombudsman in the bill. He also questioned what the bill referred to when it states the ombudsman won’t be able to deal with issues from lower tiers until a local process has been completed. “We will have to see what’s going to happen on Jan. 1 when the bill comes in,” Chief Administrative Officer Sharon Chambers said. “It will be interesting to see if a third party review of a complaint must be completed before the ombudsman will investigate it or if our own internal processes will suffice. I would like to have a discussion with local CAOs to see if there is going to be any response, or if we could consider a county-wide ombudsman to investigate any complaints.” Councillor Bill Knott said that he would not be in favour of any expensive or complicated plan and that North Huron should just implement a simple complaints and policy bylaw to meet the needs of the ombudsman. Council will need to address the issue soon, though Chambers said she would have more information after a webinar on the bill that was scheduled for Dec. 15.
