In the past the board met on its regular meeting date and set aside one hour to handle committee of the whole affays. Under the new system it meets on a specified night and after the committee of the whole meeting the trustees hold board committeemeetings. Goderich Trustee Cayley „ Hill said he sha'red some of the ,concerns of Turkheim because committee of the whole is misconstrued. He said, certain. sectors of the community feel that the board is dealing with a lot of items behind the curtain of committee of the whole and is really operating the education system in that manner. Hill said that ,is not the case, pointing out that in most cases sensitive issues are handled in private for. the West Wawanosh • West ' Wawanosh Township Council met for its regular session on Tuesday afternoon, February 7th, with all members in attend- ance and Reeve Lyons presiding. The minutes of the January meeting were .read and adopted' on motion of Councillors Foran and Stothers. . Conservation Officers Bob Pegg and Ken Henry from the Wingham Office of the Ministry • of Natural Resources attended the meeting to ask about any problems Council may have encountered in regard to matter's within their jurisdiction, and also to to remind Council that they Are • always available to assist with such problems., "Dogs-running- deer",--vThich is the Ministry's big trouble area right now, was discussed. A resolution from the County of Grey "that the Minister .of Education beasked to consider restructuring the present systern of local Boards of Education to make the Ontario Educational system more responsible to the people" was endorsed by West Wawanosh Township Council on motion of Councillors Foran and Hickey. The Building Inspector was present 'and reported to Council that a preliminary request about construction of a new barn had been received. Council directed the Clerk to write the Planning Board to ascertain the land designation of the area of the proposed new construction. A motion by Councillors Foran and Hickey authorized.the Clerk to advertise for applications for a person to count dogs in the •Township. The Reeve and Clerk were authorized to apply for the annual subsidy on Toad expenditures covering the year 1977 in the amount of $148,805 on ,motion of Councillors Hickey .and Foran. By-law #3, 1978, imposing a special rate on certain properties in the Township_ to cover tile drainage loans, was given third reading and finally passed on motion of Councillors Cranston and Hickey. The Clerk was directed to notify owners on the Murray Drainage Works that their attendance is requested at the next Council meeting to discuss the necessity of a clean out of the drain. Problems concerning a Fence - viewers' Award was raised by Councillor Cranston, and Council directed the Clerk to contact the Fenceviewers in regard to resolv- ing certain of the problems. The road accounts were order- ed.paid on motion of Councillors Stothers and Foran. benefit of trustees who want to ask certain questions or provide 'conversation.. they feel would be difficult to do in public. "It might be advisable for the board to identify the subjects being dealt with in committee of the whole before the board goes into committee," said Hill. He added that to permit com- mittees meeting after the private session of the board to plan their agendas the board may endeavor to outline what will be done in the committee of the whole and keep sub- jects. as "confined as possible". Turkheim said the lengthy committee of the whole sessions were not giving board committees enough time to handle their business after the board session. He added that four trustees, members of the executive Committee-, drive to Clinton for the committee of the whole session and have no business after that and the board pays the cost .for them to be there. He suggested that by reverting to the old system of meeting in private before the regular board meeting the board may save money. Board chairman R.J. Elliott suggested that the executive committee could Meet as well as the other board committees which would permit the board to take full advantage of the time of the executive com- mittee members. Shirley Hazlitt, trustee for Colborne, reminded the board that the new system of committees and meetings was adopted by the board on a one-year trial basis. She said that if the board only tries the system once it isn't "being fair to fife system". She added that already some things are being taken out of committee of the whole referring to one item on the agenda that last year she felt would not have been made public. Elliott reminded the board that a motion had been passed that committee of the whole sessions begin at 7:00 p.m. sharp and not go longer than an hour and a half. He said combined with the STARTS FRIDAY: FEB. 17th - 23rd ONE SHOWING 8 P.M. • FRI. & SAT. 7:00 and 9:00 executive committee's .screening of committee of the whole agenda this may solve the problem. The chairman said the board may have to start on the committee of the whole agenda and handle what business it can within that time frame. What business isn't taken care of will have to be done in public at the regular board meeting that month.
