MAJOR DRAWBACK It has only one major drawback. It isn’t in an area with full urban or industrial services and has a sewage disposal problem. From the point of view of economy and administrative efficiency, says C'ouncillor Moran. the town should go ahead now with construction of an additional office buil- ding connected to the exist- ing municipal building.

So the plan is to move the works operations to Miller Avenue where there is ex- pected to be plenty'of room for expansion as well.

WHAT IS ADVISORY? Councillor Andy Chateau- vert said he recognized the need for getting more in- formation out to the public “and this council has looked at a number of ways without much results" and also rec- ;ognized that planning term- ‘inology was sometimes con- fusing. He was concerned about the interpretation of the word “advisory”, whether it was to be a method of public input or whether it was to have a say in the final decision. “We as a council were elected to make these decisions. We have professional advice and will welcome public input, but will make the decisions. I would have to take excep- tion to recognizing this as an advisory body. We already have the province, the reg- ion, this council, committee of the whole and planning committee involved and this United Appeal Coming In '74 R.

He reported that opinions expressed at the public meeting were that there was a great need for such ad- visory board or committee to inform citizens and council, to give advice, to 'attend council and planning meet- ings and give more informa- tion based on areas, to pro- vide an organized channel for opinions to be forwarded to council and committees regarding development and long range planning, to pro- vide citizen participation and When a committee endorsed by a public meeting held October 10 to act in an informative and advisory capacity has organized, it will be recognized, was the consensus of opinion at Monday’s meeting of Richmond Hill Council.
