Lvety month when iii110,11 County
Council discusses the disposal of the
old library headquarters in Goderich,
the 551110 EnotiQn As passed "that the
Warden and Clerk -Administrator pro-
ceed as directed."
Nothing is revealed about who will
purchase the building, nobody is
ceillowed to knew how 'much money 'the
.county will gain from the sale. ,It's call
very secret. The lights in the council
charnnber are on, but the councillors and
the tax payers are left sitting n, ? the
dark.
At Thursday's meeting of County
Councils .however, twA councillors
stood up to say the e °unty should be
more open with its decisions and: more
accountable to the publico.
Couna.. Tom Cunningham from
Hullett .Twp. saidthe frequency If
closed sessions is hung the image of
the council and should be addressed. •
Cttnnagliam said he. realizes certain:
things like the competitive sale of prop -
city and some personnel ersonnel, matters have
�
to be discussed in closed sessions, but
despite the fact legislation is quite spe-
cific. regarding what things should be
discussed in the :public eye, he 'felt .the
county government needs fo.take a. look
at bow it informs the public aboutthe.
decisions it makes.
"The e .
Public acre";getting the" erre -
1� P F
tion that we are working behind closed
doors,"' said Cunningham'..
Under' ` the current system
Cunningham said county decisions stay
hiddei., for sb .long that by the time
decisions are trade public, the Ilssues
are long forgotten;
Warden will Clifford told (oun.
Cunningham. that his ,request for a
;review of the, closed session policy
would ceriairibi.be taken under advise,,.
rnent.
t
1,:cllow h this particular situation it
(the sale of the library headquarters)
seems to be, dragging on," saki Clifford,
"beat at is an ou going one and certainly,
when it is finalized, It will: b shown by
motion."
Com. Bill Mickle of Exeter, backed
Cunning,ham by asking, "Is there really
a HOcessnty for .all those `in camera'
meetings," said Mich'":oa
Mickle said he is particularly con -
corned by the fact Clifford, who owns a
local real estate company, is taking
directive action in the disp''sal of the
library pr pertY„
I hope you are not putting yourself
into a conflict in this particular situa-
tion, bowing your background," said
Miiklea
"I am trying to be protective, but i
am also concerned that. we , seem to
have au awful lot of, In camera' meet-
ings." �.
Clifford said be understood Micklegs;
concent, but he. noted' that individual
council members must :decide for theni4
selves whether or not they have a con¢.
,flirt of interest• with any particular gov-
ernment decision.
Clifford admitted his firm did make
a bid on the library\contraat but was not
successful
"If our fin, had been,3" .said Clifford,
"there is no doubt that 1, would ' not be
sitting : u* :the chattiber during this dis-
cussion."
And regahlirzg concerns that closed
sessions have'become.`a regular'part of
county government, Clifford said, "I
really am ,not prepared to answer the
reasons."
lie ` said he would be pleased to dis-
cuss the matter .further with any men-
ber of council on apersonal basis, or if
it is a big concern, council could go
into closed session -to discuss it further.
