"This council has never talked or gave our mayor authorization to speak to them on our behalf:' Chartrand said to the horseshoe -shaped table that when MacLellan had previously asked for permission to speak to Central Huron and Blue - water, the wish was granted with ease by the political gang. According to Char- trand, not a single staff from the municipality were cognisant of or invited to the delega- tion, a gathering that he considers to be "top- secret." He said if some- one had not reviewed the South Huron's web- site where their agenda is listed, this occurrence may have gone unnoticed. "This is just another example of our mayor showing total disrespect to this council," BE READY FON 'BACK TO SCHOOL' ...COME DRIVE BUS FOR US!

"In my opinion this whole shared services idea is going way off track." Seaforth Coun. Bob Fisher agreed with Chartrand in terms of keeping "it slow and steady and not being rushed" in the shared service talks. Fisher's other half, Sea - forth Ward Rep. Nathan Marshall asked the dep- uty mayor, Joe Steffler who was filling in for MacLellan, if he pos- sibly had previous dis- cussions connected to the delegation conversations. "I didn't even know it was there," responded Steffler to Marshall. Replying to Char- trand's accusations, Tuckersmith Coun. Larry McGrath said he has no bad -blood with the may- or's decision on attend- ing out of council meetings. "I think at the end of the day, it may offend you and I appreciate that, but it has to come back to this table," com- mented McGrath to Based on the conversation we had about Bernie, I don't have a problem with the comments. I personally feel that this is a conversation (that) should end and be had when Bernie is in the room, so he could defend himself," remarked Seaforth councilor, Nathan Marshall. Chartrand. "He can make and discuss all the plans he wants, if we don't agree with it, it's an 11-1 vote, plain and simple." Wearing a large black cowboy hat and the attire to match, in dedi- cation to the Calgary Stampede, McKillop councillor Kevin Wilbee was also unaware of the delegation. "I read that article about South Huron, I kind of thought it took place maybe when I was in the other room, but now I guess that wasn't the case," he said. The debate got heated with snarky remarks by Alvin McLellan Grey Ward Coun. followed by the other Grey ward repre- sentative, Diane Diehl seaforthhuronexpositor.com The ' = Seaforth Generals g.-Liziti need BILLET FAMILIES Do you have a private room with desk/workspace?

I personally feel that this is a conversation (that) should end and be had when Bernie is in the room, so he could defend himself," remarked Marshall. A few minutes after, Brussels Council- lor, David Blaney pre- sented council with a motion. "Due to the current lack of relevant data sur- rounding the shared ser- vices debate, and due to the efforts to expand the number of municipalities involved in the discus- sion, and in considera- tion of the fact that the What if one company could solve all your business needs? We can connect all the pieces in more ways than ever before. For more two principals promoting the endeavour have declared in the press that their ultimate aim would be single -tier govern- ment," Blaney's motion stated. "The mayor of Huron East has only been empowered to discuss the possibility of shared services with the Munic- ipality of Central Huron and the Municipality of Bluewater and to seek information concerning the contents of the agreement between Morris-Turnberry and North Huron and that any current expansion of that mandate is solely an individual action on the part of the Mayor and has not been endorsed by the council of Huron East." 41 SA! 1iJ POSTMEDIA nformation, visit postmedia.com/advertise �r3if� • • PARK EMU TKt$E.7c FOR MOM INFORMATION... wwwsnawiekinks.ca udde.,tWi-800-265-3431
