The Counicil tunanîmioulsly passed a direction clearly stating where theyV stand on the Golden Report and the infa- MOUS 'Four Mayors Document' entitled '"Moving Forward Together." While Couincil re(cgnizedc the need for chlang5es and reformn, they dlisagreed with the findlings in bothi of the above reports. They support- ed the need to downsize Counicils and numbers of required staff-, but stopped short ofanyv major changes to thec present systemn. The Cou ncil wholehearted- ly stated that they dIo not sup- port anly changes to Clarington's present mnunici- pal boundaries, as -the cur- rent Municipality Of Clarington is a viable eco- nlomlic union of commutnities that would be adversely affected by its dissolution both economically, socially and hlstor-ica-lly." Maîntaining the Regioni of Durhiam was also highi on their priority, list. They refused to support the format- tion of a Greater T oronto CounIcil1, feeling 5thaýt it wýould "resuilt in a leve(l of govern- nit that is further 1removed fromn the electoraýte wvith no elected representatlion for manjjy and a bureaucracy thiat wvould be too large to cost effectively and efficiently be manageci and controlled.- Rzegionial Chair Jim iWitty~ was at Ilhe meeting ias well, echoin1g many of' the samne sentiments.
