Plaxton at the first regular‘aware of the siiualinn and pre- meeting of 1965 Monday even- pared to give us instruction.“ He explained that council members are paid at a per diem fate for attending committee meetings. If they attend one or more committee meetings on a day, they receive only one per diem payment, but if a com- mittee meeting extends over two or three days they receive payment for each day involved. Each committee meeting costs the ratepayers of the town $64 the reeve reported. stating that he was not questioning this amount. as he felt it quite equitable. When the reeve‘s suggestion that the second Wednesday of every month he set as com- mittee meeting night failed to gain support, Mayor Thomas Broadhurst suggested that as a member of the personnel. wel- fare and procedure committee Mr. Plaxton could discuss this matter thoroughly and come up with a workable suggestion after due consideration of the dictates of county and external bodies. “Everybody is in symp- athy with the idea." the mayor maintained. "We would all like to make the most economic use of our time." The reeve also brought up the question of county assessment. "I gather by speaking to in- coming members of county council that this is not a dead issue," he reported. “Some are objecting strenuously. The dep- uty-reeve and I should take di- rection on this important mat- ter from this council, regardless of our personal feelings on the matter." he stated. Town Council Meeting But he suggested setting aside one day for committee meet- ings and to hold as many on that day as p055ible as a saving of time and money. He said he realized some committee meet- ings must be called on very short notice. that others must meet on a regular basis. but he thought some streamlining 15 possible. “The county controls 10% of the mill rate of this municipal- ity and will by virtue of its December legislation now con~ trol 100% of its assessment," the reeve continued. “Propon- ents of county assessment be- lieve it will result. in an equal- Reeve Plaxton Raises Questions Committees, Assessment, Works ing‘ BINGO â€" Thursday night, 8 pm. sharp. jackpot. â€" 4 spec- ial and 25 regular games.

Mayor Broadhurst said his idea was the evolution of a policy to use as a yardstick in determining the priority of any capital works problem which may come up. “Personally I believe priority should be given to capital works which hold promise of greatest returns as- sessment-wise. Yonge Street would receive higher priority because money spent there would permit redevelopment which could improve our as- sessment. I believe our first task is to establish a yardstick which will establish priority. Then proposed capital works can be given priority, always bearing in mind that inevitably we will come up against the amount of money we will have to spend in any given year."' will be spent. Referring to a list of essential capital works advocated by the works commissioner. he named No. 6 well, $50,000 a year for three years for re- ditching of Beverley Acres, widening of Yonge Street. and the southwest area, all problems which must be dealt with. The deputy-reeve concluded with a plea for all members of council to pull together. “The only time we can get things done is when we sit at this table and discuss things in a spirit of co-operation." he stated. Can. Cancer Society District Council Elects th'ahi this council to be aware of the situation and pre: pared to give us instruction." The mayor pointed out that the reeve and deputy- reeve, by right of direct election to county council are not required to take di- rection from the municipal council. “If they wish to seek our opinion and be guided by it. that is good.” the mayor continued. “but to make county government effective they must think of the overall picture. If sec- tional divisions are allowed to rule, that is bad." Mr. Plaxton said he felt that assessment was a very funda- mental basis of municipal gov- ernment, and this important function has been given to an-,. other body. “Assessment is established for a lot more than “When you look at the am- ount of money we will have to spend. at $200,000 a year it would take 50 years to do the, whole town." the mayor stated.’ "This is why I believe that! some desirable things must bei subordinated to things which! will increase assessment andl permit more money to be spent‘ per year. In this way we may well cut the 50 year period to; 20 years." he claimed. The reeve countered “Rela- tively speaking there are not that many areas which desper- ately need storm sewers. Some- body at some time has to decide what areas are going to be con- sidered. These areas will nec- essarily have to be the ones where there are definite prob- lems.“ Councillor Eric Handbury stated. “Once we have a plan, it would allow the ratepayers to the county rate.“ he stated. consider the plan and express function has been given to an- other body. "Assessment is established for a lot more than the county rate," he stated. “and we are the ones the tax- payers are going to come to first and it isn‘t going to help things to have to refer them to Newmarket.“ Mayor Broadhurst noted that it is long past the ideal time for re-assessment in Richmond Hill, and the setting up of county assessment will provide the staff to do a complete re- assessment of the county in the off-seasons. CAPITAL WORKS Reeve Plaxton said he was very interested in the mayor‘s suggestion that some system of priority be established for cap- ital works in this municipality. ‘He felt the suggestions should be made by council and pre- sented to taxpayers in a series of public meetings.

Councillor Lois Hancey re- ported that this was the idea behind a motion by last year‘s council that the mayor, reeve‘ and works commissioner draw‘ up a list of capital works and priorities. She also noted that sometimes ratepayers don’t want to pay for works which are necessary for the benefit of the whole community rather than one small area of it. Deputy-reeve Floyd Per- kins stated he felt the most important thing to remem- ber was how much money would be available before 1 t deciding how much money i CAPITAL WORKS Reeve Plaxton said he was very interested in the mayor‘s suggestion that some system of priority be established for cap- ital works in this municipality.
