(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Reasonable motion defeated Dear Editor, Due to other commitments and the deadline for sub- mission on Tuesday, I can make,. only ' a short and superficial reference to what transpired on. Monday evening at the Goderich Town • Council meeting, concerning the Heritage District. The subject itself and the council performance contain wide and general interest elements of which the public deserves to be informed. There will be other occasions for a more extensive presentation of facts and opinions. An Observer could be forgiven for coming to the conclusion on Monday evening that a not very, thoroughly informed council reacted to the group present in such. anoverly eager and what appeared to be almost a pre -arranged manner, as if the council hadlost of : prejudices of :all kinds has theuf, ct ,that 'the Iniiblic •ex. ..,settled,, certain facts wins trot pects its elected represen- go away, but must be dealt tatives to represent all in- with intelligently and m a •dividuals, all '• groups, all businesslike manner before community interests in a fair the Municipal Board, by a and impartial manner, and small number of persons, to be seen to do so. under oath.

The council was faced with two completely con- tradictory recom- mendations, one from the group who had been given a mandate by the council for certain procedures and recommendations, the other an "added bonus" con- clusion by the mayor and the administration.

While you enjoy the music refer the matter to the town solicitor first, was defeated: The motion finally passed does essentially the same :. (refers to the town solicitor) but before doing so, it muddies the surface even more. It reads: "that the circular area of The Square be considered for designation of a Heritage Conservation District with any property wishing to be excluded, be so excluded, and those properties wishing inclusion, be included, and that correspondence be forwarded to the town solicitor.,outlining council's intention and that his, comments be obtained." The motion does • not mention rescinding the '1982 by-law which covers the. Square area; it does not provide any mechanism as to who does the determining and how; it gives no con- sideration to those .property owners who wish to be: ;in- cluded on the radial• streets or elsewhere in the area covered by the present 1982 by-law, etc. All I can say at this point is—look for next ' week's exciting instalment!
