At Huron East's Jan. 10 meeting in Seaforth, a number of members of the Vanastra Recreation Centre Committee spoke to council regarding Mayor Bernie MacLellan's decision to move Councillor Ray Chartrand off of the committee. Chartrand had strongly opposed the move, asking specifically that he be left on the committee, citing continuity and a "good group" at the heart of the committee that was moving in the right direction. Despite his empassioned plea, MacLellan opted to remove Chartrand from the committee, replacing him with Councillor Nathan Marshall from the Seaforth Ward. The decision angered Chartrand and led to numerous heated debates, not just between Chartrand and MacLellan, but including other councillors, who felt that if Chartrand was so committed to the committee, he should remain a member. MacLellan defended his committee appointment decisions by saying that sometimes members can be part of a committee for too long and an infusion of new blood is necessary. Those members of the committee present at the meeting also spoke in favour of keeping Chartrand on the committee. After some debate, Councillors David Blaney and Bob Fisher made a motion asking that Chartrand remain on the committee, which council passed. The motion also contained a clause that, as a result of the move, Marshall would no longer be replaced as a member of the Seaforth and District Community Centre Recreation Committee. He had been slated to be replaced with Fisher. Other committee structure changes made that night included replacing Councillors Alvin McLellan and Brenda Dalton with Councillors David Blaney and Kevin Wilbee on the Administration Committee, replacing Councillors Dianne Diehl, Kevin Wilbee and David Blaney with Councillors John Lowe, Alvin McLellan and Ray Chartrand on the Personnel Committee, replacing Councillor Kevin Wilbee with Councillor Ray Chartrand on the Water and Sewer Committee, replacing Councillor Dianne Diehl with Councillor Alvin McLellan on the Brussels, Morris and Grey Recreation Committee, replacing Councillor Larry McGrath with Councillor Brenda Dalton on the Seaforth and District Community Centre Recreation Committee, replacing Councillors John Lowe and Alvin McLellan with Councillors Kevin Wilbee and Dianne Diehl on the Brussels Medical -Dental Centre Committee and replacing Councillor Alvin McLellan with Councillor David Blaney as council's representative on the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority.
