THE ISSUES - COVER-UPS - MANIPULATING THE MINUTES
OVERVIEW
Council's
official minutes for its September 23rd, 2013 meeting include the
recording of a particular motion as follows: "On a verbal motion,
moved by E. Brayton, seconded by D. Downey, Council directed that no
staff or member of the Waste Management Committee will attend a
conference in 2013."
But that's not true - there is a significant piece of the real motion missing (because it really wouldn't look good). Several letters have been written to Council as a whole, and to each member individually, pointing out the omission and requesting that the minutes be corrected to reflect what was actually voted on at the meeting.
There have been no responses, and nothing has been done to correct the minutes. But we're not finished with this yet.
Check back, as we will soon be constructing the rest of this page, complete with audio of the meeting(s).

Under construction. We are busy preparing the substantiating resources (documents, newspaper articles, etc.) to publish in this section. Please check back in a little while, or link up with our Facebook page to be notified of updates.
PLEASE ATTEND COUNCIL MEETINGS
The clearest, most effective message you can send to Council, is to attend their meetings. So long as the public gallery is empty, they will get the impression that no one cares.
It would be hypocritical to hold Council responsible for the outcome of all things if we are perpetually absent from the process, ourselves.
Typically, Council meetings are held on Mondays. [Click] to open the Township's official calendar in a new window.
