Mr. Schenk reported that under the Corporations Act it is legal to limit voting for a director to persons from a specific geographical area or members of an interest group, and presumably the same holds for nominations. It was pointed out there are some problems with the motion proposed by Turn - berry, and some board members felt it would be better to talk the matter over with the council to see if it would consider withdrawing the motion. Norman Hayes, hospital executive director, said the wording of the motion creates a problem, since it says members shall be nominated by each council, with additional nominations permitted from the floor. In the case of Wingham there are four representatives not nominated by council in addition to the council ap- pointee, he pointed out. William Newton also noted that as proposed the motion would limit the right to nominate to ratepayers of a municipality; someone• living in a municipality but not paying local taxes would not qualify. Allan Harrison proposed that someone should talk to Turnberry and get the mo- tion withdrawn. "I personal- ly feel this is asinine," he de - In the meanthne, the board has dumped the whole matter into the lap of its management committee, which is to come up with recommendations on how to proceed. Board members doted considerable time at their meeting last week to discussion of the nomi- nations question, which surfaced at the last annual meeting in a notice of motion from Turnberry Township. Council. They also heard from their lawyer, who outlined the alternatives open to them. At the annual meeting this summer, Turnberry council served notice of a motion to limit the right to -nominate a member to the board to rate- payers in a municipality which he or she would represent. At the same meeting the board introduced a notice of motion to trim the size of the board to 13 members from 17 and realign representation among the various villages and townships... There had been some question whether the changes could be ac- complished by passing new bylaws or would require amendments to the letters patent of the hospital cor- poration, and even during the meet ing confusion reigned briefly. However the board and lawyer John Schenk ap- dared, claiming that it isn't democratic. Dr. G. A, Williams agroed, saying the change wouldn't result in a better hospital board or better peopleUtit. "I see no merit in it at all." He said the issue/was simply wasting time at the board meeting and , would waste more at the annual meeting. Board Chairman Jack Kopas recapped the history leading up to the Turnberry motion. At the previous annual meeting the Turn - berry nominee touthe board was defeated by a person nominated from the floor by two board members who were not residents of the township, he reported. He emphasized there had been no intention on the part of the board to slight Turn - berry — that the nomination ,was the result of a personal request — but said he thinks the Council feels its fairest forum will be a general meeting of the association and it is imlikely to withdraw the motion: Earlier he had suggested the management committee should develop a nominating procedure, but Mr. Hayes noted, "That may already have been taken out of our hands by the notice of motion." Archie Hill also pointed out that with a notice of motion already on the books, "it would look a bit presump- tuous for us to jump in with our own motion." However Dr. J. C. McKim reminded members it still is possible to amend the motion at the annual meeting. On a related topic the board discussed the right of municipalities to make nominations without having purchased memberships in the hospital association. It was noted that up until last year all municipalities represented on the board lied contributed to the hospital building fund back in the 450s, and this could be con- sidered sufficient to pur- chase a lifetime member- ship. However Ashfield Township, which has applied for representation, did not contribute to the fund. The board was told that Ashfield is willing to make a contribution, and it was .left up to the management committee to decide on a figure.
