To the north, the boundary will follow the dividing line between the townships of Brock and Thorah. The eastern boundary of. the region will follow the east- ern boundary of Brock Town- ship, sweeping east to include Cartwright and Clarke Town- ships. On a motion from Ald. Edward McNelly, council also approved a proposal for representation by population on the future Yegional govern- ment council. - TT be. released in late July by Oshawa Area Planning' and Development study ~ is ex- pected to recommend 31 members plus a chairman for the regional government coun- cil. . Under the:-Oshawa council proposal, 15 to 16 of the 31 members would come from Oshawa based on present populations for the proposed municipalities. The OAPADS recommend- ation, however, is expected to be for only 12 Oshawa rep- resentatives. Works Commissioner Fred Crome, a member of the A third discussion paper to | Oshawa Technical Co-ordinat- ing Committee for Regional Government said Wednesday . although the province as the : | centre of the region, it has not stated an intention for the location of the regional seat of government. "A decision on the reg- ional government centre will most likely have to come from the regional sécouncil itself once it has been selected," he added. While the proposals approv- ed by council carry some weight as far as establishing Oshawa's position, the event- ual decision will hinge almost exclusively on recommetdat- ions from the OAPAD study. With the study committee still working on its third report dealing with municipal and regional boundaries, it will be at least the end of July before the public knows where official winds of change might take the area.
