"1 don't care what's coming down, it's not get- ting any better. We're behind the eight ball already," Mclver'said. Kincard$ne'township r'...Kincardine eve Gord Jarrell agreed with McIver. "In August I wanted to delay this until 2001, but you convinced me," h'e' told council. "The sooner we get it done the better," Bruce township and Tiverton launched the strongest fight against the restructuring proposal with' a series of ainri!end- ments'that would have. changed the voting proce- dure on the issue. Warden 'Keith Campbell ruledthe motions out of order and wouldn't allow thern'to come to'a vote. "It's • certainly my understanding that the pro- posal before us today is a county. restructuring pack-.' ag'e,". Campbell said in response to one. anne.nd- meatfrom Tiverton and BruCe township that requested each of the eight amalgamation proposals to be voted on separately: Tiverton' reeve' Janice Morris argued that the county proposal allows is an.4tan option inconsistencies because some municipalities will elect deputy reeves, while others will appoint them.'. She also argued that Tiverton should have ward. status in. the election for the amalgamated munici- pality, "Quite bluntly, Tiverton and Bruce were to amalga- mate (in January '98) with elections at large. We con- sidered that,';. said restruc- turing committee member David Fox, • "We of all people went ahead and did what the province wanted' to,do, and now Tiverton is going to suffer," responded Bruce township reeve Howard Rtbey. Setting January • 1, 1999 as • the effective date for county restructuring means -this fall's rnunioipal elections will be for a one Year term, If the plan is approved by local councils. and' the province, another election ;for the new municipalities will be held lit Novemberof nexeyear. • Transition' board's to be set ,up for each new, municipality and com-' posed of two council ,members from each bf the current municipalities.: The boards.' will have wide- sweeping :power: to . decide' financial and. administra tive details of their respec- rive amalgamation 'plans. Another chore :of the tran- sition boards will •be to select names for their new. municipalities, since most. of the amalgamation pro-. posal.s contain'.temporary' names made by hyphenat-• ing the names of the municipalities involved in each deal. Voting against the county restructuring plan were the 'reeves for Chesley, Eastnor, Tara, Marton, Arran, Teeswater, Tiverton,. • Albemarle, Bruce township, and Brant township, The reeve. for Hepworth was absent.. Chair' Stuart Reagie', said that after more than a , - year of debate, it was time = .• for council to reach a deci- sion on restructuring. ' "I think there is going. , 'to be some savings„" he said "And itis time to do it. Municipal politics really .. hasn:t _changed -since the early 1,900's.
