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.
