Mayor of Newcastle Garnet Rickard gives a letter of congratulations to two runners Keith Buchanan (top) and Tony Uachler who ran 9.2 miles with it to Oshawa as part of the festivities to celebrate that city's 5th anniversary. The letter was delivered to the Mayor of Oshawa on Friday. Letters to the Editor 106 iWellngton St., Bowmanville, Ont. LiC 1V9. March 15, 1974. Mvayor G. B. Rickard, Members of Town of Newcastle Councît, Municipality of Newcastle, Ontario. Gentlemen:, 1 am wifing this letter f0 you, the Council, and fo the papers trying [o convey sonne thoughts abo)ut the new' arena. 1loptullfthse idea'ýs will reach more people' than the limited comments w.%hich have appeared in the local papers and on your agenda. To start with I would like if understood that I am not trying [o delay fhe construc- tion of thenew arena in any way . MaYor Rickard on the moGrning of February Il. 1974 mnadeý the statement f0 me over the phone that the archît2ct (Mr. Jackson) had consulted with protessional people, re only tour (4) dressing rooms in the new arena. I am sfill waiting for an answeras to who Mr. Jackson consulted regardine tiîs imat /<EEP OUR PHONE NI/MBE/? //Y YOUR ?M/Nt WIEN YOÙ NEEO HEA T/N& O/t OF, rflT/IFT TEfR lK/ND VIRTUE FUELS R. R. 5 - Bowma nville PHONE 263-8431 ter and also the cost of adding two additional dressing rooms. There is an arena commission set up which gives FREE advise on pro- posed new arenas. Did the former Darlington Council consult with this body of people? If flot, why didn't the Regional Council of Newcastle get assistance from these people or even ask our Recreation Director Mr. Fan- ning or Arena Manager Mr. Neads about the facilities proposed for the new arena and whether these \ere- ade- quate. t am not' try\-ing to degrade Mr. Jacksoni's aýbility to design an arena but I am thinking abot vo'ur Wrships remarks just a short timne ago, that he would like to get people outside of Council involved in these projects. Hopetulix, he meant taxpayers and present heads of departments who x'muld be concerned about the new projects. As I mentioned to Council. I hoped the sub-contractor for the instal- lation of the ice making machine would be Canada Ice Co. so if there were a breakdo wn of equipment in either' arena the machinery would be interchangeable. Another thought along this ,une would be the installation ot three :30 HP. compressors and not one 30 HP. and one 60 H.P. (to make the 'ice) s0 we could possibly get along with- onf the hiring of an engineer to look after these compressors. I would like to again oppose closed Committee of the Whole meetings, as I did when 1 was on Bowmanville Coun- cil, such as the one this Council held on the morning of Monday, March 4, 1974 to decide wich tender was f0 get the job of constructing this nev, arena. You men are discussing behind closed doors the spending of thousands of dollars of the taxpayers mnoney. I know these minutes arc printed (some portion of the' meeting) for-Councils agenda, but I still contendthe final decision at these Com- mittee of the Whole meetings should be open to the press and the public. Some people might be able f0 attend these meetings and n 'ot be able f0 get to the Councîl meeting. I agree that part of these mieeti ngs have to be closed. if you are discussing problems that mighf arise in differences between a tendered price and the architect or when you arc discussing employees' person- alities or problems but the final part of' these meetings should be QLien.
