Jordan kept off joint fire service committee By Mike Williscraft NewsNow It took a “surprise” amendment initiated by Coun. Dave Sharpe and a motion to restructure how council would vote, but five Grimsby councillors managed to alter the joint fire services terms of reference to keep Mayor Jeff Jordan from having an automatic spot on the committee. The motion before council Sept. 7 was to have mayors, plus two members of coun-

cil and CAOs for both Grimsby and Lincoln be voting members on the committee. When the dust settled, it was adjusted to read three members of council could be voted in, with CAOs taking part but as non-voting members. This opened the door for five members of council, which included Coun. John Dunstall who missed the twohour committee-ofthe-whole meeting that See FIRE, Page 19

Parking, height key concern on The Woolverton By Mike Williscraft NewsNow The Woolverton - a proposed seven-storey, 74-unit apartment building at the corner of Elm and Mountain in downtown Grimsby took an initial step Monday with a public meeting dealing with Official Plan and zoning amendments. The project includes the lots at 13 Elm Street - the current GBF Hub and long-time Different Strokes prior to that - as well as 13 Mountain street, currently H&R Block’s location with prior tenants being The Syndicate Restaurant and The Gables. The current “downtown intensification” zoning calls for a maximum of four storeys on the lots with town council being able to approve up to six storeys. As noted, seven are proposed. While the height is significant, planner for developer Castlepoint

Numa, Drew Sinclair, told those on the Zoom meeting there are several facets to the design of the project which minimize impacts of that height. As well, he noted design elements would make it a contributor to cultural and environmental responsibilities. Sinclair also noted that planning guidelines in the downtown intensification area are distinctly different for side streets as opposed to Main Street itself. “Main Street needs people. It needs residents who are walking,” said Sinclair adding it’s “critical to understand..how it contributes to a post-carbon future.” To that end, he highlighted several aspects of the design which create a “green” approach to the build including a “planted or vegetative” rooftop, which will allow for water re-use on site as well as generate energy savings.

As well, upgraded windows will also reduce energy use. In terms of footprint, Sinclair noted their idea to go up - about 50 per cent of land will be covered by the build - allows for more “community space” and a spot where residents could have a growing area. Key for many in the discussion both Monday night and prior input received online was the impact on the two heritage buildings in play and parking. Sinclair noted not only would the two original buildings be fully restored during the building process, they are an imporant aspect of the overall design. He showed several examples of other projects where modern design was created in harmony with heritage buildings, such as Niagara Falls History Museum, as well as others in Toronto and Cambridge. As well, noted at several points,

was the rental unit aspect to the entire site. “It is an all-rental project,” noted Sinclair, pointing out the difference between condos and rental units. He explained the philosophy behind that is to provide much-needed rental units to serve the highest in demand category facing the Grimsby market, adding 60 per cent of the units will be for families (two bedrooms or larger). PUBLIC COMMENT Several area residents attended Monday’s meeting and addressed key areas of concern, including Sandra Yemm who lives nearby on Mountain Street. Yemm said the proposal would “change the harmonious balance of our downtown core” and noted the building would block views and cause shade issues. Sinclair noted design components See BUILD, Page 2

Downtown Grimsby courtyard: From vision to reality By Tristan Marks NewsNow Pedestrians walking through Downtown Grimsby may notice that the alleyway next to Harmony Jewellers looks a little different, maybe even a lot different. As of last Friday, the pedestrian access between Main Street and Balsam Lane has been all dressed up with wooden picnic benches, floral arrangements, string lights, colourful posters and more. The pedestrian alley is the brainchild of Kevin Luttjehuizen, owner of Harmony Jewellers. “I bought this building 15 years ago and since that time, I’ve been trying to envision what this alley could look like,” Luttjehuizen said. When he was approached by Town of Grimsby Staff about using the space as part of the upcoming ‘Downtown Reimagined’ initiative, Luttjehuizen said he finally had the opportunity to put his ideas into action. “This is a temporary space for public enjoyment, a place to experience all that Grims-

The public space will remain set up until late fall. Although its current incarnation will be temporary, Luttejehuizen said he plans on making a permanent space later on. “Long term I see this all in cobblestone with lighting and seating,” he said. Pedestrians are encouraged to take selfies and post about the space using the hashtag #dtgrimsbycourtyard. They can also weigh in with their ideas about reimagining Downtown Grimsby’s public spaces by using the hashtag #letstalkdowntown.

BUILD From Page 1 have been implemented to minimize impacts on neighbouring properties including all setbacks being within Town of Grimsby specifications. “(Any) shadows are almost exclusively on other downtown intensification areas,” said Sinclair. Similar to minimizing impacts, he noted his team put in an “immense amount of work to keep the heritage elements and maximize public use space.” Long-time downtown businessman Bryan Macaulay stated he appreciated the “cultural hub” use for the heritage building, which was initially Grimsby Baptist Church.

tors, Charrois said more parking is needed on site. For residents Duncan Storey, Maria Clark, Ian Robertson, Joanne Hall, Kevin Luttjehuizen and Ken Cherney, parking and traffic volume were also major factors. From a downtown business point of view, Luttjehuizen noted merchants are already concerned about parking space, so any negative impact would be felt in the business community. Sinclair said all the points would be carefully assessed and dealt with. “We are taking notes, he said.

the mayors with two members of council as was worded in the bylaw on the night’s agenda. MacPherson said defining a position to a specific member of council would require a vote to reconsider. This sparked a debate with Mayor Sandra Easton, who disagreed. “This is a matter of what the clerk’s intentions were when she brought this forward [in June], because there was clearly work to be done on it,” she said. However, Easton eventually ruled in favour of MacPherson’s contention, and a vote to reconsider was held. Councillors Pachereva, Mikolic and Reimer nominated themselves, and Coun. Lynn Timmers nominated Mayor Easton with Pachereva, Mikolic and Reimer winning the vote.

sell’s amendment asked for six voting members to be made up of three elected representatives from each Town. Both CAOs would remain on the advisory committee as non-voting members. Russell said after the meeting that his intent was to make sure Lincoln’s bylaw matched its counterpart from Grimsby, which was to process a similar motion the same night. “It sounds like this is what Grimsby did as well,” he said. Before council voted on Russell’s amendment, Coun. Paul MacPherson noted concern that the wording of the initially proposed bylaw did not match what council originally discussed in June. He said the original report voted on defined the advisory committee as three members of each council, rather than

The Town of Lincoln has has taken another series of steps on the path of merging its fire service with the Town of Grimsby’s. Council passed several joint fire service bylaws at a Sept. 7 special council meeting including the appointments of Councillors Greg Reimer, Mike Mikolic and JD Pachereva as Lincoln’s voting members on the advisory committee. Most items passed without any discussion, however, debate arose surrounding the committee membership. Coun. Adam Russell requested an amendment “for continuity” that changed the composition of the voting members of the committee.

As Niagara-area home prices continue to escalate, making it impossible for so many firsttime homebuyers to enter the real estate market, one emerging trend is the idea of a “multigenerational” home purchase. Multiple generations of family members living under one roof is not a new concept; In many cultures, it is the norm. Prior to the pandemic, a multigenerational living arrangement in Canada was often incited by lack of affordable housing, and/or lack of affordable child care. But, when the pandemic began, and families were forced to isolate and create their own little “social bubbles”, the idea of purchasing a (larger) home with one’s parents gained traction. Pooling funds with one’s family to provide a larger downpayment and qualify for a larger mortgage makes sense in these times when a “starter home” in Niagara is easily over half a million dollars to purchase. It allows individuals to purchase a larger or more luxurious home that would otherwise be out-of-reach. Other non-financial benefits include assistance with childcare and/or aging parents. It is estimated that it will take 10-20 years for working incomes to catch up to current home values. As mortgage affordability continues to be an issue for single-income or two-income households, I believe that more families will consider multi-family home ownership. Another solution is the “living inheritance”, where parents gift children a partial inheritance while still alive - helping kids when they need funds for downpayment. If you and your family are considering either of these options, I welcome the opportunity to provide you with expert, impartial advice, so that you can make an informed decision. Talk to us, you’ll be impressed!

Grimsby Beach stands up for trees By Tristan Marks NewsNow Not all trees are created equal. While every tree can act as a carbon dioxide sink, it takes up to 269 saplings to do the work of just one of the old growth trees standing in Grimsby Beach. These trees are multitalented, too, providing food for local Carolinian creatures, prolonging the longevity of roads, and performing many other duties for the residents and environment of Grimsby Beach. Their service hasn’t gone unnoticed. The residents of Grimsby Beach erected 20 different signs on their local trees to explain the many duties these mature trees perform as a way of raising awareness among visitors to the neighbourhood. “Our trees are quietly cleaning our air and we don’t notice it,” said Kate

Mature Carolinian trees do a lot of work. Sharrow, the Grimsby Beach resident behind this initiative. “We absolutely need to protect our mature trees.” This initiative comes as the Town of Grimsby is completing a land use study for the neighbourhood. Sharrow said residents have been concerned about the some of the comments coming from Town Staff. “Town planners said they’d have no trouble seeing up to 89 per cent lot coverage from new constructions,” said Sharrow. “That leaves little room for parking spaces, and definitely lit-

tle room for planting tree canopies.” “We don’t have the land to plant enough saplings that would be able to filter the same level of toxins those trees originally did,” said Sharrow. The neighbourhood has also seen a shift in the type of tourism it receives since the COVID pandemic set in. “Now tourists are trying to find the best photo-op,” she said. Sharrow came up with the idea to put up these educational tree signs to act as photo spots for the social media tourists. Sharrow started by putting up signs on some of the trees that stand on public spaces, but she quickly began receiving requests from her neighbours to put sign on the trees standing in their property. In total there are now 20 signs throughout Grimsby Beach.

Public Notice Notice of Public Information Centre #1

Lakeshore and Shoreline Improvements between Thirty Road and Martin Road Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study The Study

We Want To Hear From You

The Town of Lincoln has retained WSP Canada Inc. to undertake a Schedule ‘C’ Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA), to study improvements to the Shoreline Improvement Areas along the lakeshore between Thirty Road and Martin Road, as shown in the key plan below. To reduce flood risk for the lakeshore/ shoreline roads within the study area, various alternative design concepts have been identified, including shoreline protection works and road relocations. Potential lookouts are also being investigated.

Public engagement is an important component of the MCEA, and the Town will work with, consult, and engage with interested stakeholders, including the public, landowners, and regulatory agencies, throughout the course of the study. PIC #1 is being held to provide an opportunity for the public to review the environmental existing conditions and alternative design concepts, provide comments, and discuss concerns and issues with the Project Team. Notice of PIC#1 has also been sent to the project mailing list. PIC details are provided below:

Public Information Centre #1

Background As a result of high-water levels and isolated flooding events during the spring of 2017 and 2019, sections of the Town’s shoreline have deteriorated and eroded, resulting in significant damage to both the road surface and foundation. Flooding and erosion are expected to continue to occur. To address the identified flood hazards and vulnerabilities, the Town is working to identify a long-term solution that is informed by this EA study. The EA study will be supplemented by community education and awareness materials (which will be available later in the project) that will inform residents in flood-prone areas about ways to minimize risk to their property.

The Process This study will follow the MCEA for a Schedule ‘C’ project in accordance with the requirements outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association MCEA manual (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015), which is an approved process under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. As part of this process, the first of two Public Information Centres (PICs) will present preliminary findings and the alternative design concepts being evaluated, and additionally seek feedback from attendees. Once the study is complete, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared and filed for a 30-day public review period. A Notice of Completion will be published in local newspapers and sent to the project mailing list to advise the public of the ESR review period.

Virtual Meeting via Zoom 6:00 p.m.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE: Please e-mail LakeshoreEAs@lincoln.ca or call 905-563-2799 ext. 234 to register.

but that’s not easy. These are things that should be taught in our schools. It’s more important than ever with refugees and immigrants coming into our country, Sometimes they have a better understanding of democracy than Canadians do. While we sometimes complain about the media, an independent print, audio and visual media is extremely important to public education. We are extremely fortunate to have CBC radio and television services that cover our news and information from coast to coast. They are one of the few things remaining to hold this

vast country together. Whether we receive our information in the form of pixels, bits and bytes, spoke words or small drops of ink on paper, it all helps us to understand our country and vote with dedication rather than sheer anger. It’s a serious mistake for any politician or party to undermine the mainstream media. That’s one of the first things oppressive regimes try to do – denigrate the media and destroy it with “alternative truths”. The independent media, in all its forms, and a strong educational system must be preserved if Canadian democracy is to remain our form of government. There are alternatives, but none of them offers the freedom of democracy.

Martin

One of the things that saddens me about our education system is that there is no room in it for the study of democratic government, its roots and its modern applications in Canada. How can young people be expected to go to the polls for the first time without understanding what the election is all about? Young voters, and even older ones, are sometimes enticed to vote for a candidate or a party that promises something they would personally like. Legalized handguns, beer in the local corner store, legalized marijuana etc. They need to understand the larger issues such as what does each party stand for. It is possible to learn about these issues independently,

NDP: Nameer Rahman A couple of years ago I happened to meet a person in Grimsby who was running her own business out of her home. She had designed a product that she then marketed online and through trade shows, and was doing quite well for herself. What she had built was impressive to the point that I mentioned it to a member of the Grimsby Economic Development Advisory Committee (GEDAC) saying we needed to support people like her more actively. I ran into her again a few days ago while campaigning, but the look was different. The business had taken a hit, bills were piling up and CERB was going to run out in a month or so. Her major source of sales was trade shows, and they kept on getting cancelled. After hearing about the lives taken, nothing quite hammered home what was at stake than the look on this person’s face. This person to me doesn’t just represent what we are trying to save as we try to get through the pandemic. The path through

Conservative Party: Dean Allison Canadians now realize that Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government have put this country and Canadians, into a downward spiral, both through their mismanagement of the pandemic, our economy and our position on the world stage. We see Trudeau’s desperation in his campaign, and see his angry and condescending attitude firsthand. Canadians are tired of the corruption, arrogance, entitlement, and mismanagement of the economy by Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government. He called a needless election in the middle of the fourth wave of the pandemic. He did this, when just a few months prior, he promised not to call an election while the pandemic was still happening. He ignored the crisis in Afghanistan and sent Canadians to the polls simply because he saw favour-

able polling and he wanted a majority. And now directly because of his disdain for Canadians, the country has become more divided than ever. If anyone disagrees with Trudeau’s opinions and ideology, he labels you as unCanadian or worse, and tries to discredit everything about you. And now, his candidates are trying to do the same across the country. Trudeau has disrespected Parliament and Canada’s parliamentary traditions on numerous occasions.

Liberal mess in Ottawa. We’ll get inflation under control, including the housing crisis, by banning foreign investors from buying homes here if they are not planning to live in them. We’ll create a strategic stockpile of essential products like PPE and build the capacity to manufacture vaccines at home. We’ll implement a real environmental plan that will reach targets and show that Canada is a leader in battling climate change. We will connect rural areas, like Niagara West, to highspeed Internet by 2025, and make it affordable for everyone. We’ll change the law so that when a company goes bankrupt or restructured, workers and their pensions come first – not corporate elites. And we’ll balance the budget over the next decade. I truly believe that with a Conservative government in Ottawa and Canada’s Recovery Plan, we can rebuild our country and Secure our Future.

Green Party: Joanna Kocsis Dear Niagara West, If you’re reading this, I know you love this community like I do. Maybe you’ve always been here, maybe you’ve just arrived, either way, you’re home. The unique beauty of Niagara has been attracting families for generations. My own family came here as refugees from the Hungarian Revolution in 1957 and set up shop doing what they knew best: farming fruit and raising poultry. They came to Niagara in search of a safe home for their children, a prosperous market for their skills, and a healthy environment for their future. Over 60 years later, families still come to Niagara looking for a place to live, work and play, joining those of us who remain from generations before. I am Joanna Kocsis and I am running for the Green Party of Canada to ensure that Niagara stays a place in which working families from all walks of life can make their homes and their careers. Niagara West is at a crossroads; the rapid growth of housing developments and steep rise in housing prices, the precarious state of the local economy in the post-pandemic recovery period, and the unnecessary deterioration of our natural environment all put the community we love at risk, for us and for future generations. While Niagara West has been a low priority for the Liberal and Conservative governments, with little investment and care directed at our communities, the Green Party’s policies are

made for people with generations like us. to come.

“Climate action IS job creation!” “The transition is coming. The only question is: how well have the Liberals and Conservatives prepared Canadians for it? Ignoring the imminent change to a global economy without fossil fuels will not make it go away, it will only leave Canada behind in terms of market share for developing and producing the technologies that we need to succeed in this new economy.” “The Liberal government can ship bitumen across the continent but not get water to Indigenous communities. Reconciliation is not a question of resources, but of priorities.” “Yes, the pandemic has impacted us all, but it has much more severely impacted people who were already vulnerable, and those are the kind of people that the Green Party has been advocating and fighting for since BEFORE the pandemic hit.” “I’ll fight for Niagara West like I’ve fought for climate action, like I’ve fought for gender rights, and like I’ve fought for the needs of all of the people that Trudeau’s Liberals and the Conservatives have ignored. It has been a scary year and a half, that’s for sure, but the future is bright, and the future is GREEN. So, vote for me so that I can fight for you!” www.niagaragreens.com/joannakocsisniagarawest @joannakocsisniagarawest Authorized by the Official Agent for Joanna Kocsis

4th Annual

Volunteer Pay Subscription Drive

“What a newspaper needs in its news, in its headlines, and on its editorial page is terseness, humor, descriptive power, satire, originality, good literary style, clever condensation, and accuracy, accuracy, accuracy! Joseph Pulitzer Dear Reader,

I think NewsNow delivers on the above quote from the fellow for whom the Pulitzer Prize is named. Without NewsNow, Niagara West readers have no understanding of the impact of Grimsby’s biodigester project or council shenanigans. There would be very little knowledge of the lengthy and serious issues which have plagued West Lincoln Memorial Hospital in recent years - although the corner seems to be turned of late. More recently, nobody would be aware of the $12 million in cost overruns for a super school. And this is nothing to say of the countless items of community support our team rolls out every week. These next few months will be make or break. If you can, and choose to do so, please consider supporting NewsNow.

Based on the excellent feedback from previous years’ volunteer pay subscription drive, we are launching Year 4! Is NewsNow’s independent, accurate voice in the community of value to you? Would you like to support NewsNow in its efforts? This is your opportunity.

If yes, we have set up an infrastructure to allow for a Volunteer Pay System

Simply, this means, rain (or snow) or shine, you will always – each and every week – receive your copy of NewsNow. That will NOT change!!!!

Subscriptions: 3 Months - $15 suggested • One Year - $40 suggested

We will back HST out of each payment to make things as simple as possible. You can pay by cheque (bring into the office or mail), credit card (call Catherine or Rose at 289-235-9500) or e-transfer (send to: subscriptions@wn3.ca - make security answer - newsnow ) For more information, please do not hesitate to call, email or drop in. All inquiries are welcome!! Thanks very much for your time and have a safe and healthy year!

Deserving honouree

Lincoln Deputy Mayor Dianne Rintjema, right, presented Sherry Cain, the retiring executive director of Rose Cottage Community Hospice, with the Mayor’s Medal for her outstanding involvement in the community. The presentation was made during a retirement event last Thursday. Bratton - Photo

Round 1 in books for The Woolverton A major downtown development was the subject of an initial public meeting for Official Plan and zoning bylaw amendments Monday night. The proposal - at the corner of Elm and Mountain - is for a seven-storey apartment building with some townhouses on the east side with 74-units in total, all rentals. There are several positives to the design set out: environmentally friendly, serving a crucial need in the rental market, 5,000 sq ft of community space, service as a community hub location and minimized impact of surrounding properties - so says the development’s lead consultant. On the residents’ concerns end, the usual suspect: parking, traffic, height, compatibility with the surrounding area. All valid and need precious attention. One aspect making this different from, say, Century Condos is it is not on Main Street (so it is subject to different planning principles) and is designed on a north/south axis as opposed to east/west, which greatly reduces escarpment view impacts. Council can approve up to six storeys under existing planning bylaws. It will be interesting to see if the seven option gets through. From a downtown perspective - parking, parking parking. M.W.

Say it ain’t so, Lincoln... As stated last week when I clearly outlined how Grimsby Councillors Kevin Ritchie and Dave Kadwell would engineer things to ensure they both got a spot on the Grimsby/Lincoln Joint Fire Services Committee - before the meeting happened - I am sad to report I was correct. Despite the weakness and bias of those particular candidates, there are worse aspects to those fellas acting “in the best interests” of Grimsby on that committee. The carnival that is Grimsby council was in full flight with multiple cymbal clanging monkeys hard at work through much of the proceedings. I lost track on Points of Order, shouting down of speakers and general chaos. Typical. For this expenditure of ink I can going to boil a whole giant pile of dung to two key points: 1) The matter of the mayor being one vote at the table, and; 2) The scary slope of Lincoln gravitating to Grimsby levels of operation may have already started before the joint committee even meets. So, Ritchie - during fits of red-faced agitation - has stated on many occasions the mayor has no special powers at council and, indeed, is just one vote around the table. One of his G5 mates went so far as to call the mayor’s chair a figurehead position. I think that gives all a good indication on just where the five amigos stand in terms of respect for the mayor’s seat. Here is a little info for the maniacal manipulators. In the 2018 municipal election G5 members garnered the following votes: • Ritchie - 1.023 • Kadwell - 1,692 • Randy Vaine - 1,072 • John Dunstall - 852

MIKE WILLISCRAFT • Dave Sharpe - 1,485 This totals 6,079. Now, how many votes did Mayor Jeff Jordan get? That would be 6,344. So tell me, of “expert” Grimsby Five who assume they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, who represents more citizens of Grimsby by elected mandate? You all combined, or the mayor? Aside from all the crap and bafflegab those guys throw at the wall, that is the heart of the issue when it comes to the mayor having more sway than a lowly member of council - and I say that tongue in cheek, as most town councillors are not lowly at all. It’s just Grimsby seems to have more than its share. The mayor is one vote, but carries the mandate of the entire Town. NOBODY else on council does. Full stop. When a proposal as important as merging fire services comes down the pipe - and it will only come once - you should be pretty darn sure your most important elected official, the only one on council who carries the ball for the entire Town, is an active, voting member of that committee. The fact both the Lincoln fire chief and Grimsby’s acting deputy did not even mention past experience when citing what were im-

portant characteristics for possible committee members speaks volumes. Their #1 criteria was an ability to think strategically. “This should be more of a strategic, higher level policy role vs getting into the nuts and bolts of everyday matters. We’re looking for good leadership and to look at the best interests of council as a whole,” was Chief Greg Hudson’s comment. Without getting into the mental acuity of Grimsby’s three successful candidates, let’s leave it at other members were far better suited to the position than that trio. Enough said on that. On the second point, Lincoln Council, your motives may have been slightly more honourable in allowing for an open vote on the joint fire services committee but you were horribly ill-timed and bass-ackwards in your thinking on this matter. As noted last week, this matter is a crucial, Townwide matter. I would love to debate anyone who thinks the mayor should not be an active, voting member of this committee. It is just a horrible look and clearly NOT in the best interests of the council (as the chief put it) or the community as a whole. By agreeing BEFORE either meeting to fudge the terms of reference to take mayors off as automatic as noted by Vaine during the Grimsby meeting hours before Lincoln’s special meeting had even started - Lincoln has lowered itself significantly and unfortunately also as I predicted when I heard the matter of a pilot merger was to proceed. Give your heads a shake, people. Grimsby councillors won’t, but someone in Lincoln should step aside and allow Mayor Sandra Easton a voting position.

News Now • Thursday, September 16, 2021 • Page 19 From Page 1 preceded the council session, but called in by phone to be able to cast key votes to carry several 5-4 votes with Councillors Ritchie, Sharpe, Dave Kadwell and Randy Vaine also supporting the change. There was a great deal of cross talk, shouting down and too many Points of Order to count - a sight all too familiar for Grimsby

Coun. Lianne Vardy noted both mayors who are the only townwide elected officials on council, should be voting members on such an important committee. Aside from that, both Councillors Dorothy Bothwell and Reg Freake reiterated their concern the venture was being initiated with zero prior cost/benefit analysis - both calling it still premature. A motion to defer to

wait on a Fire Master Plan and third party audit was voted down 5-4. Both Lincoln Chief Greg Hudson and Grimsby Acting Chief Bill Thomson said strategic thinkers are what was needed on the committee. Ritchie, Sharpe and Kadwell were voted in 5-4 only after Ritchie introduced special restrictions on how the vote would be conducted. This was also approved 5-4.

residents. Both Sharpe’s and Ritchie’s motions were prepared as they were read into the record. While Ritchie reminded members of council the changes introduced did not preclude the mayor from getting voted onto the committee and that the mayor has no special standing - the position is just one vote on council - others noted past conduct of council would ensure he did not get voted on.
