HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2011-03-17, Page 19THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 2011. PAGE 19. Frustration continues over wind turbine issueContinued from page 1McLachlan should get in touch withthe municipality’s solicitor GregStewart to ask him about theprocedure going forward.
Ryan, however, was then taken
aback when a meeting with Jose
Menendez of CASA was mentioned.
Ryan said that it was his
understanding that when more than
two councillors meet, it’s an official
meeting of council that has to be
disclosed. Councillors, however,
were quick defend themselves,
saying that despite Ryan’s claims,
the councillors had done nothing
wrong by taking a requested
meeting.
Menendez had met with
councillors Seili, Siemon, Andy
Flowers and Deputy-Mayor Joe
Steffler and Ryan was outraged that
HEAT hadn’t been informed and
received an invitation to sit in on that
meeting.
Ryan asked if he could receive a
copy of the committee’s meeting
minutes, which McLachlan said he
could.
Still caught off guard, however,
Ryan returned to the topic of not
being invited to the meeting, a
position Seili was quick to defend.
“We gave HEAT a chance to speak
at this council meeting. Did we have
to inform the wind energy
companies?” Seili asked.
Seili said that if Menendez asked
to speak to councillors, they
certainly weren’t going to turn him
away.
Ryan then took exception to
Seili’s tone and told him that he
wouldn’t “bully” him and the other
members of HEAT. Seili respondedby saying that he felt bullied byHEAT and that council followedevery procedure correctly.Seili also stated that he felt Ryan
was calling him a liar and didn’t like
his implication that he or any other
member of the committee were “up
to anything” that they shouldn’t be.
“We know you’re frustrated with
us, but we won’t quit,” Ryan said.
“We’re determined.”
Councillor Alvin McLellan, who
was chairing the meeting in the
absence of Mayor Bernie
MacLellan, who had to withdraw
from discussion due to a conflict of
interest, as well as Steffler, who was
unable to attend the meeting,
reminded Ryan that council has
also experienced significant
frustration over this issue and that
council and HEAT were on the same
team.
“We’re frustrated too, not at
[HEAT], but at the process,”
McLellan said. “You have to trust us
that we’re trying to do the best we
can, but we’re trying to balance
everything.
“We’re trying to do the best we
can on this issue without breaking
the bank. We’re trying the best we
can, but we’re trying to not make any
mistakes going forward. This is all
new to us.”
Members of HEAT also inquired
as to whether council was planning
on taking any action on the newly-
enacted turbine bylaw out of
Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh
Council, but McLachlan said it had
been decided by Stewart that there
would have to be significant changes
to the policy before Huron Eastwould consider supporting, letalone, enacting it.Council also received an update from McLachlan on the costs thathave been dedicated to date relatingto wind turbines, including thedrafting of Huron East’s cost recovery bylaw. Council has spendjust under $11,000 on the issue,spending $2,998.50 in 2009 and$7,936.55 in 2010.
