PAGE 14, WHTBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESIaAY, JANUARY 11t, 1990 Chairman's- actions inappr opiate,. says truste BA'y Trudie Zavadovici Separate school board trustee Fred Jones of Oshawa made aile- gations at Monday night's board meeting that chairman Cath- erine Tunneyhas talcen inappro- priate actions that are repugnant and inexcusable. His notice of' motion presented at the meeting requests that the Board ol'Trustees remind the Chairman of the need to conduct Board meetings ini a proper, f'air, and legal manner consistent with the requirements ol' the Educa- tion Mc, universaiiy recognized democratic principals, Robert's Rules of Order and the Board's constitution and bylaws.» Jones charges that Tunney ini- appropriately passed a motion to defray the cost of a retirement dinner and that the board pay $1,500 toward the dinner. He said that she did not allow the recording secretary, the pub- lic or the press to be present at the time t&hè motion was passed and allowed no discussion on the motion. He charges that when chaI- lenged on this point, she became «visibiy agitàited and extremely argumentative and inoisted that the matter pioced in camera. "I :wrote el4s. Tunney stating my intent (lýO present notice of' motion) andj asked o meet with her. She chooe flot to pet in touch with me. I had no choîce.» Tunney says Jones' ailegations are inacurate, and that s-he in- tends te consuit a Iawyer tomor- row (Tuesday). She says the press, p ublic and recording secretary we fot pre- sent because it was late in'the evening, after the press, public and recording secretary had gne home. "They were flot in the building.» Tunney said that after reading Jones' memo she feit he was using it (the situation) as leverage te get on a certain committee. 'I don't play those games,» said Tunney. According te Tunney, Jones' memo read, "Currently my inten- tion is te introduce attachînent number one as a notice of motion, at the next board meeting (public portion). However, before ýro- ceeding, I would like te ee with you te, discuss the matter. There's lenty of room for maOnoeuv11rîngonth matter, let's fet tegether and talk about it. ['.8. eCau lme so we can set up a mutually agreeable time.» "I ama annoyed that this would come at such a crucial time,» said Tunney. "Mr. Jones is taking up valuable time with nonsense such as this.» Tunney. says that Jones has also sent a letter te the Minister of Education aaking for an, inves- tigation and a pub lic and judiciai inquiîfy. Absence not. tolerated By Scott Laurie Trustees of the Durhamn Board of' Education are now te be heid personally accountable for any absences from meetings.
