HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2008-03-13, Page 18Is it time to have a progress reporton the warden’s task force?This question was raised by Huron
East councillor Bernie MacLellan at
the March 5 meeting of council.
The task force was the idea of for-
mer warden Rob Morley to advance
economic development efforts in a
co-ordinated manner with munici-
palities within the county. It consists
of the heads of the local councils,
municipal and county CAOs and rel-
evant staff.
Having attended a meeting recent-
ly MacLellan wondered if the out-
come was outweighing the costs.
“Looking around me I figured it cost
taxpayers $5,000 that day and I
heard no information that served a
purpose. I’m not saying it wasn’t
needed when it started. I’m justwondering if it still is.”Councillor Bill Dowson of CentralHuron said he has struggled withthat question as well. “There is a lotof good discussion at the meeting
but are we discussing things that
should be discussed here.”
As he is on the committee, he said
he would be interested in hearing
what others think.
Warden John Bezaire felt he might
be qualified to speak as an “out-
sider” as he had so far only attended
one meeting. He appreciated the fact
that many people there are not elect-
ed officials. “There are people on
that committee with a vested interest
in economic development.”
Director of planning Scott Tousaw
said there had been criticism before
the tast force about the county’s eco-
nomic development initiative not
being understood by lower tiers.
He suggested that this discussionbe held with the task force. “Thereare members there who appreciatebeing at the table.”Goderich councillor John Graceagreed that lower-tier governments
often felt economic development
wasn’t being taken seriously by the
county until warden Morley made it
a priority.
“Maybe some changes need to be
made, but I feel it has merit.”
MacLellan supported that view.
“I’m not indicating that we have to
stop the task force. Maybe this dis-
cussion can be part and parcel with
other discussions on economic
development for the next committee
of the whole.”
Grace said he would like to hear
from the task force. “There are a
variety of people there who aren’t us
and I would appreciate their input.”
As for the cost, treasurer David
Carey said that only council andstaff were paid by the county forattendance, not other representa-tives. Goderich councillor DebShewfelt, however, didn’t feel
money should be an issue in light of
the results. “I think you’re short-sighted in looking at the money. Iappreciate where you’re comingfrom,” he said to MacLellan, “but wehave to look at the big picture.”The issue will be taken to the war-
den’s task force for input.
