Somerville re-elected to FCM Congratulations to Regional/Acton Councillor Clark Somerville who was recently re-elected ­ by other Ontario mayors and councillors ­ to the board of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, commonly known as FCM. He is one of the 10 Ontario delegates elected to the board, which through standing committees, deals with issues facing Canadian municipalities. "One of the biggest issues we're dealing with now is called Target 2014, which deals with the Building Canada Fund ­ a billion Commerce Crescent reconstruction The $970,178 reconstruction of Commerce Crescent will be done by Aecon Construction and Materials Ltd. of Brampton. Town Council approved the low bid, which includes $111,613 for Halton to replace wastewater pipes in the area during the road reconstruction that will include replacing the existing asphalt, rebuilding the shoulders and replacing driveway culverts. During reconstruction, Aecon will have a foreman, superintendent and flagman on site to deal with the public and affected businesses to minimize traffic delays and disruption. Preliminary site work is already underway and the project should take between six and eight weeks. When initially ap- dollar federal infrastructure fund set to expire in 2014 ­ so we're doing all of the consultation with the federal government about what it should be replaced with," Somerville said following last week's FCM Board meeting in Saskatoon. Somerville is also vicechair of the FCM's social economic development committee, and vicechair of the rural forum ­ the only FCM member to be both elected and appointed as vice-chair of caucuses in the same year. He said sitting on FCM gives him direct input to federal cabinet ministers and gives a different perspective on how issues are being dealt with in other municipalities. FCM is a true democracy in action, Somerville said when asked about FCM's work. "We have resolutions that come to the floor from municipalities that are debated and put to a vote by the members at the annual general meeting. It can be painful when you have 1,600 delegates who might want to speak, but the outcome is the will of the members."
