Gar- net Rickard (Newcastle) that hie was going to raise the issue at a later date. He was speaking during débate that hired a regional personnel officer, and sawv hlmi decline to take the job because it didn't pay enoughi. Thle root cause of couincil's floundering on the mnatter were prior decisions, he su.,ggested. They -were -acting in a vadCUUm", and hie was con: cerned about the direction theyý were going and the dîlemmInas they were getting themselves into. The applicant hadn't heard thie salary level until almost the point of hiring because counicil hadn't decided until then how miuch the position was worth. Couni. Jon Potticary (Osh- awa) suggested that the execuitive committee should take hold of this and similar itemis and get moving with themi. Coun. Rickard seemed to aigree, but noted that when the comnmittee had tried to take the lead on several issues back on October 31, it had been told by council that it was over-stepping the bounds of its authority. S"I supported the chastise- ment then," Coun. John Goodwin (Whitby) said, but he added that the executîve had been given specific auth- ority to deal with personnel mnatters.

The terminal has been installed on an experimental basis at Orangeville District High School, Roland Michen- er Hîgh School, South Porcup- i, and Bowmanville High School. It will enable students to make more efficient use of the Student Guidance Inform- ation Service (SGIS) which currently is being used by 100,000 students across the province.

Thie new Northumber- land County hlas had its assessmnent reduced by :36j per-ent due t o the fact that Clarke, Newcastle Bowman- ville and Darlington have been joined (1with the region 0 f Durhilm. .Mr. Irvine (Parliamentairv Secretary fro John Whit-' revealed that thp- province has no special grants in mind for the new North- umberland but if they want restructuring 'grants they would have to meet thie se-ven guidelines set out by,1 Mr. White (carlier tis mont1h. ',Your counity counicil wOuld have to apply for such desigation as a restructured county before you get grants,' Mr. Irvine stated. "Any action which is taken in thiis county will have to be action whichi is brought forth by the municipal govern- ments. If you want restrudt- uring you will have to send a letter to the minister asking for designation as a restruet- uired county, " he stated. Mr. Irvince cleared up the position of the present task force by saying, "In this task force you are not commiss- ioned to go as far as the Minister's type of restructur- ed counties". The seven criteria suggest- ed by Mr. Witeý in his speech are now being studied by the technical and political com- mittees of the task force, but one of the criteria that is difficult to meet is the involvement of the separated towns. The only separated towp is Trenton and it is involved in the difficult Quinte Planning Area situation. The western members of the Quinte plann- ing area, Murray, Brighton vilage and Brighton townip,;ii w:., î out of the planning area. Býey have petitioned the Alinister to remove them from the area. Mr. Irvine said that a di'cision on the Quinte plann- irq- area would take some a.iu that a consultant may be riid by the province toi in- ,estigate the workings of tL~Quinte planning board. (the county were to piition the minster for de- sgnation and eligibility for the restructîuring grants, they would be responsible for funding fifty percent of the study according to Mr. Irvine. The present task force is funded 100 percent by the province and task force members wonidered if they could not just use the findings of the task force study to meet the minister's criteria.
