Page 16, Whltby Fr. Press, Wednesday, September 20, 1995 Town: Carnival shoudbe annual event By John DuAJay This year's first County Town Carnival ince 1982 was a great success for Whltby, according te a joint marketing and recreation department report. The report, presented te opera- tions committo. Monday night, said the, Town should Incorporate the. carnival into an annual event. Included Lu the report is a ref- erence te tthe coot te taxpayers. In early 1995, thé Town provided a grant of $7,500 tte organizlng committe. te promote the. event. There was a surplus of $2,629 which will b. returned te the comzmttee for 1996 carnival plan- ning. Town staff, xncluding recre- ation 'and public works depart- ment personnel, helped close and reopen streets in the. downtewn cor. for the. three-day event. They submitt.d a coat of $10,903 for their work. An estirnated 15,000 persons attended variaus events, înclud- mng about 6,000 on Saturday, July 1 in the. downtewn cor.. "It was oertainly a great thing te happen for the. tewn," said re- gional counclor Gerry Emim. "ht can only grow blgger and botter." East ward councillor Dennis Fox said the Town could consider phasmng out its staff contribution and shlow volunteers te take over - a move now under review, said marketing director Peter Lebel. "Wf're looking for an organiza- tional structure that will divide up tiie workload." He udd the. 1997 cèrnival may b. rum strictly by volunteers, thus minimizing the. Town'is financisi contribution. A number of suggestions te improve future carmivals were listed in the. report. These mnclude providing more advance public- ity, moving the. beer tant te down- town (it was at Iroquois' Park), changing the date so as not to, confiict with the. holiday week- end, provlding more parade polie- ing and enlarglng the downtown area that was blocked off te v.- hicular traffic.

Operations committe. on Monday approved a staff proposai te allocate $114,550 te Global Election Systems for a computer- ized voting system that can tabulat. polling resuits in as lit- die as 30 minutes after voting iu complet. - an improvement over the current standard of at least four hours.

"TMs is a tried and true sos- tea," said McKay. Tiie report listed many U.S. cities and some similar communities in Ontario sucii as Njax, IAndsay and Burlington who have successfully used the. ES 2000 systarn. Ajax, for example, had com- plete poîl resuits at 8:28 p.m. The syastern would work mucii the smre as current voting prsc- tices from the. elector's end, ac- cording te, McKay. Tii. ballot would b. marked with a black penci or marker aud it would b. plaoed into the. machine te b. read. by a scanner. Election r.- aulta would b. transmitte. by modem te a central location and tabulated instantly. On. of the concerna expreased by councillors Gerry Emm and Dennis Fox was the. possible side effect of cutting down the number of polling places from 44 te, 25. "Will r.ducing the. number of polling stations encourage or discourage votars7' asked FoL.

"People who want te vote are going te vote, regard- lees of the. distance," said McKay. We're not talking great dis- tances." Sorne of the. north ward- resi- dents rnay have longer distances te travel, but McKay said that they typically have te drive to their polling stations for each election. Past problems occurred in the. city of Toronte wiien tii.y at- tempted te us. an automatic poIl- ing system during the. 1991 mu- nicipal élection. However, McKay said, "If tiiere's a problem, it will By John DuJay Brock Street won't b. recon- structed tuis year.

As part of a cost saving metiod, Whitby will share the. machine with a tewn ini Western Canada, possibly Victoria, B.C. Tii. $114,550 figure is hait of the. sys- tem's total cost. Because they have different municipal élection sciiedules, the machine could b. used by onç conîmunity for one élection ançi then shipped te tthe other commu- nity for their next élection.
