Bailey
to vote
on drain
By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
Blyth Reeve Mason Bailey will
make the Cummings Drain pay-
ment issue easier as he declared, at
the Nov. 2 meeting, that he will
take part in all upcoming discus-
sions of the matter.
Stating he had already paid his
portion of the assessment, Bailey
said he is cleared of any conflict of
interest, allowing him to discuss
and vote on the issue in the future.
With Councillors Rob Lawrie
and Doug Scrimgcour as well as
Bailey declaring a conflict of inter-
est at the Oct. 20 meeting, the mat-
ter had been left to Councillors
Jeff Howson and Murray Nesbitt.
Howson had asked for the deci-
sion to be postponed so he could
consider the matter.
Knowing that the two councillors
had been on opposite sides of the
issue in the past, Clerk-Treasurer
John Stewart wanted clarification
on procedure if a payment decision
could not be reached.
He said this also refers to issues
as simple as one or two-payment
billing; items to be decided for an
assessment bylaw.
Stewart was waiting for a
response from the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs regarding the
proper procedure and had not
included the issue on the agenda.
There had previously been con-
siderable discussion on whether the
village or property owners should
pay. A motion currently stands stat-
ing that property owners will be
assessed into the drain.
Council
