Town Council Briefs Received with regret the resignation of Mrs. Ruth Biggin, Millpond Court, from the library board effective at the end of the year. Mrs. Biggin and her husband Rob- ert will be moving out of the municipality to a new home they are building and therefore she is not eligible to continue to serve on the board. Decide to advertise for a personnel officer at a salary to be negotiated. Decided that no further applications for taxi cab ownership licenses will be accepted pending finaliza- tion of a study which is be- ing undertaken at present. It was reported there are now 92 ownership licenses active in the municipality. Decided to have a bylaw prepared to provide for fire routes where all parking will be prohibited. Councillor Wainwright said that this is extremely important in view of the piece of equipment (an aerial platform) being added and Mayor William Lazenby said such designat- ed fire routes are necessary for the safety of firefight- ing personnel. Approved a site plan ag- reement with Dorsa Devel- opments Limited to cover the addition to an existing shopping centre on North Yonge Street on 10.950 square foot second floor of- fice space. The agreement provides for an amendment to the zoning bylaw to per- mit a reduction in the re- quired parking spaces from 5.5 to 4.3 per 1,000 square feet of floor space. It also requires the owner to pro- vide fire route signs, per- form certain maintenance work and complete the land- scape work before the end of this year and imposes cer- tain limitations. A letter of credit for $3,000 will be filed to ensure proper com- pletion of required land- scaping. for capital expenditure for the Region of York was set at $4,175,000, for Markham $3,555,000, for Vaughan $3,- 105,000. for King $20,000 and for Whitchurch - Stouffville $245,000. Accepted a recommenda- tion of its fire and personnel committee that three weeks holidays be granted to de- partment heads. Councillor Wainwright said this was one way of keeping staff from moving to another munici- pality. Agreed to the purchase of a utility vehicle for the maintenance section of the waterworks department as budgeted for in the water- works capital account at an approximate cost of $20,000.

I assume all sorts of people have no idea that their roads are about to be as. sumed and have had no op- portunity to speak on the subject. This leads to the belief that council believes it knows best and citizen participation is not wanted." HANCEY AGREES Regional Councillor Lois Hancey agreed with Mr. Graham, recalling that on July 9 citizens requested to be notified of any commit- When is a road a road? This is a quastion that is plaguing Richmond Hill Council at present. Accor- ding to the Ministry of Transportation and Commu- nication any road on which public monies have been spent except in emergency is a public road, according to information given at the September 24 council mee- ting.

The Ministry will then pay a sub- sidy on the cost of mainte- nance. BAR PUBLIC A works committee of the whole meeting was held September 12 to consider the consultants’ recommen- dation. It was decided to assume the unassumed roads listed by the consultants and this decision was ratified by council Monday evening. However, a decision to bar three members of the public from the September 12 mee- ting and hold it in camera was questioned by John Graham, one of those who were asked to leave. RATEPAYER OBJECTS Mr. Graham, who lives on a cul-de-sac running north from Vaughan Road, which is also unassumed and which three out of four property owners wish to remain un- assumed. recalled previous meetings on the subject at the September 24 meeting. His group had asked to be advised when the McCor- mick. Rankin report was being discussed as they had some ideas which might be of value to the town. They were advised about the Sep- tember 12 meeting by Works Council Agrees To Public Meeting Committee Chairman Louis Wainwright. but on a deci- sion of a majority were ex- cluded from hearing the pre- sentation. “We knew we could not participate in the discussion, but were sur- prised to find that council. through some magic wand, changed from committee of the whole to a meeting of council and passed a motion to prepare a bylaw assuming all roads inventoried' in the report. I can see no evidence that people on those roads have been notifid. I under- stand our cul-de-sac was not included in the report, but by some fluke could be.” He reminded council that on July 9 it had passed a motion that assumption of roads would not be under- taken until a list of unas- sumed roads is presented to the works committee. that no road be assumed un- le& 50% of residents in favor and that a list of prio- rities be established, and that his cul-deâ€"sac be exempt until finalization of a study of the area being made by the planning department.

It was also a bit of a report- er's nightmare, with no offic- ial pronouncements. informal discussion in a very fluid group- ing and re-grouping of report- ers and OSSTF executive mem- bers, and a “don't quote me", or a “this is not for publica- tion" terminating just about every conversation. With teachers contract neg- otiations with the York County Board of Education still unre- solVed, the impression that the teachers are warming up for a show-down was heavy in the alt. There have been numerous meetings between the board's negotiating committee chaired by Markham Trustee John Honsberger and the teachers' negotiating committee, and more are scheduled for the im- mediate future. No Contract Yet, Teachers Meet Press A works committee mee- ting of the whole was called for September 12 at 7:30 pm and one of the subjects was to be a discussion on road assumption and the citizens were notified. “The Question was raised whether the mee- ting was Open to the public or not when three citizens join-ed council. The chair- man '(Mr. Wainwright) ad- vised that the meeting was open to the public and I ex- pressed the same opinion." she said. “A statement was expres- sed that the notice of the meeting was worded in er- ror and it should have read the Co-ordinating Commit- tee of the Roads Needs Stu~ dy. which had sat in camera in the past. A motion then changed the sitting commit- tee's nameâ€"only to ex- clude the public. I believe that the only reason the Roads Need Committee ever sat in camera was so that representatives of the MTC couldn't be quoted or mis- quoted or held to account for advice given to council members and in practice the press and public weren’t ad- vised of the meetings so were not in attendance. She also stated that one ratepayer submitted the same request in writing to the chairman of the works committee and was advised that he would be notified. The action of council on July 9 negated the practice of the Roads Needs Commit- tee sitting in camera when road assumption was being discussed. BREACH OF FAITH While I have every res- pect for the office of coun- cil and try to abide by the decisions of council, I also acknowledge that govern- ments are not infallible and it is my opinion that coun- cil’s decision to exclude the public from the meeting September 12 was not in the best interests of the people or of council. was in fact a breach of faith with the ra- tepayers and such actions tend to discourage the im- tee or council meetings where road assumption was a subject of discussion and have the opportunity to sit and listen. Council gave that assurance. The citizens at- tended at least one works committee meeting and also consulted with the works commissioner, she reported.

The reception took place in the OSSTF office at 1 Welling- ton Street East in Aurora with the majority of the executive present. It was scheduled for 4 to 5:30 pm, but it was well after 6 pm before the media representatives left, slightly confused and wondering just what they could write without being guilty of breach of con- fidence. On one point, the local teach~ ers seemed to be in agreement. They do not agree with the ac- tion taken by North York teach- ers who are also unhappy about the contracts offered them by the borough's board of educa- tion. In North York many teachers are refusing to assist with extra-curricular activities. arguing that economics in the schools have increased their work load to the point where they do not have the time to assist in supervising or coach- ing teams, clubs. etc., outside of regular school hours. York’s OSSTF President told “The Liberal” that this is not fair to the students. that the clubs and the teams are a part of the entire educational pro- cess. He did not specify just what action his group intends PRIORITIES It also was decided in the same motion that the works committee continue to for- mulate a construction prio- rity program, short and long range construction program and financial policies for re- commendations to council.

Farquharson said, “Your District 11 presi- dent was NOT privy to the contents of the recent open letter from the chairman of the York County Board of Educa- tion to the secondary school teachers. “My first knowledge of such a letter came through a brief telephone conversation with Mr. Marvin Hunter, chairman of the board, on Tuesday, Sep- tember 18, 1973. immediately prior to its distribution (to teachers and trustees). "I did not authorize the use of the quotation attributed to me in the said letter. and, since the letter is still under study, I cannot endorse any of the state- ments contained in the said letter at this time."

Eric McLean. He returned to Canada in 1961 and retired from the air force in 1964 with the rank of captain, settling in Sutton West. For a year he was a studean in an arts program at York University, and in 1965 accepted a po- sition- as teacher in practical occupation at Stouffville High School. In 1969 he transferred to Don Head Se- condary School in Rich- mond Hill as auto service teacher. Born in Calgary in 1921, Mr. McLean received his early education in Alberta. In 1940 he joined the RCAF and became a pilot, serving in “the European theatre to the end of World War II. From 1946 to 1951 he completed his high school education and went on to McGill University as a stu- dent in science. In 1951 he rejoined the RCAF as a flying instructor and a ground school instructor in theory of flight and naviga- tion. He served six years on the OSSTF salary negoti- ations committee and was chief negotiator for the se- condary school teachers in the two-year agreement which expired September 1.

Various members of the ex- ecutive were asked why the secondary school teachers are negotiating separately from the elemetary school teachers when both the Ministry of Edu- cation and the local board are emphasising a continuum fl'om kindergarten to grade 13, and teachers, particularly t h o s e who aspire to become princi- pals, are being encouraged to gain experience at both levels. It was pointed out that in York one step has been taken in attempting to bring all teachers together. The Public School Men Teachers Associa- tion and the Public School Women Teachers Association have amalgamated and are negotiating with the board as a unit. There was no explanation as to why the amalgamation had not been taken'a step further, to form one federation. partic- ularly since the Ministry now requires that all candidates for teachers’ colleges must have a bachelor of arts degree from a recognized university.
