County c.nsid.ring request
to open con.nilttoe sessions
A public spirited citizen's
request will make Huron
County Council consider its
closed committee meeting
policy.
Elsa Haydon of Goderich
approached council at its
November meeting asking
council to review its policy
whereby all its standing com-
mittees such as road, proper-
ty and executive and local
boards such as health unit
and Huronview are closed to
the public.
"My appeal to you concerns
two points, the direct relation-
ship between your council and
'local boards' and second,
public access to meetings of
public bodies," stated Mrs.
Haydon.
A 12 -year veteran of
municipal business, Mrs.
Haydon served as councillor
on Goderich town council, the
Goderich resident started
looking into the county's prac-
tise of closed meetings after
recently being asked to leave
a library board meeting. She
has since sat in on a planning
board meeting which is the
only committee or local board
meeting that is open to the
public.
"I should clarify one point
first," Mrs. Haydon told coun-
cil. "As I write two regular
columns in area publications,
I understand the question has
arisen whether I address you
as an individual or as a front
spokesman for the press.
That point is quite' clear.
When I did not seek re-
election last fall, the Signal -
Star Publishing (Goderich)
management offered me the
same privilege and courtesy
as has been extended to our
MPP Jack Riddell. I am not
employed by anybody. I am
not answerable to anybody,
but I do abide by the code of
professional responsibility."
The columnist said coun-
cil's decision to refer the mat-
ter was "perfectly all right."
She noted that If a decision
had been made that day, it
would have been based on
prejudice, but the next time it
is discussed, after review, a
decision will be based on
more thought.
Only one member of coun-
cil spoke in favour of open
committee or local board
meetings and that was Exeter
Reeve William Mickle. He
suggested that council meet
Mrs. Haydon's challenge to
review its committee meeting
policy. The Exeter reeve add-
ed that if it is impossible to
open the meetings then the
county should "explain to the
public why."
"I personally believe that
government is responsible to
its constituents and should be
open in its operations," com-
mented Mickle.
He noted that in his
municipality the press
witness decision and that he
has nothing to hide.
Goderich Deputy Reeve
Jim Britnell questioned if
council is on solid legal
ground by omitting the public.
Warden Grant Stirling said
the Ministry of Municipal Af-
fairs indicated committees
can be run as "council sees
fit."
