P2RT { PERRY TAR 15¢c per copy 32 Pages Volume 108 -- PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, Thursday, July 4th, 1974 -- No. 36 Recommendation discussed then tabled by council by Ashok Chandwani A planning committee rec- ommendation to reduce $120,000 from the 1974 cur- rent budget by cutting out on certain jobs and expendi- tures ran into surprisingly heavy fire which ultimately resulted in the recommen- dation being tabled at last: Wednesday's regional coun- cil meeting. The planning com- mittee wanted the region's approval to hold up recruit- ment for eight positions in 1974 to effect a saving of $65.000 in wages and sala- ries. The committee was seck- ing a further saving of $55,000 by reducing expen- ditures on printing, confer- ences and consultants' fees. The feeling in council was that services would be effect- ed if the staff, originally approved for recruitment, were not hired now. Coun. Mike Breaugh said the recommendation took "key people out of an organi- zation" which would delay decisions and reduce ser- vices. "It will cost us more money next year to catch up"' he added. Coun. Rickard also felt the planning staff was essential for the efficient functioning of the regional planning de- partment. Coun. Malcolm of Scugog wondered if there was a 'tempest within the planning committee' because only a few weeks ago the commit- tee and planning staff had assured the finance com- mittee that there was no scope to cut any money from the budget proposals. Coun. Potticary's com- ment that Bill 162 which gave birth to the region, should be amended to keep planning functions with the area mun- icipalities led council into debating the role of the region in planning. Some councillors felt the region was assuming too many planning functions, others felt the opposite. It all boiled down to a matter of interpretation of Bill 162. "It would make me very happy to get our functions clearly defined "said Coun. Clarke Mason, chairman of the planning committee" be- cause I'm getting the stick both ways and from the bottom." Several councillors felt the region should leave planning functions to area municipal- ities. The matter was tempora- rily resolved by tabling the recommendation till the Chief Administrator pre- sents his report on the plann- ing functions of the region. Questioned by councillors the Chief Administrator Wil- liam Manning said he was running into a lot of pro- blems in preparing the re- port. "The more I dig into it, the more controversial it gets" he told council. He wanted council's direc- tion about the scope of his investigation. He was asked" to prepare a complete re- port. The tabling motion also included a direction to the planning committee to take no action on the recom- mendation till the Chief Administrator's report be- comes available.
