Date set for f council ld debate b of f ward db boundaries d Meeting to be b held h ld Tuesday, d Feb. b 21 in Council l Chambers h b A special meeting of Oakville's Town Council regarding the ward boundary review interim report has been scheduled. The meeting will be held Tuesday, Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers inside Town Hall, located at 1225 Trafalgar Rd. At that time, Council will provide direction to consultant Dr. Robert J. Williams on new boundary options for Oakville. Residents are invited to provide input at this public meeting. "Our existing wards vary significantly with regard to the number of people living in each ward. Growth, particularly in the new communities of Oakville, is expected to increase the discrepancies even further," said Oakville Mayor Rob Burton. "The Town is committed to ensuring that residents and businesses are represented on Council through an effective and equitable system. Public input will be crucial in providing guidance as to how our constituents think Oakville's ward boundaries should be designed." As part of the ongoing public consultation process, the Town has sought feedback through e-mail, an online survey, and two public information sessions. At the first public information meeting, attendees were presented with four conceptual maps to initiate discussion. Based on the feedback received, four additional concept maps were created. Further public input opportunities are currently being planned for 2012. "The feedback received to date has been invaluable to our review and we look forward to hearing more from the community as the review progresses," said Burton. The ward boundary review comes as part of the planning for the 2014 municipal election. A final recommendation is expected to go to Council for approval in the spring of 2012.
