PORT ({ PERRY TAR nd SECTION Volume 108 -- PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, Wednesday, Oct. 24, 1973 -- No. 1 | Local members divided at first Regional meeting Local members of 'Regional council Reg. Rose and Lawrence Malcolm cancelled out each others vote five times during the' first meeting of Regional Council, October 17. Votes was called for 13 times (the region is starting off lucky) at the meeting in Whitby so, although the opinions of our local rep- resentatives were divided part of the time they usually agreed. Mayor-elect Mal- .colm pointed out after the meeting, "We did not come here to vote in blocs." The division was repeated by representatives ftom most areas. Oshawa coun- cillors in particular had - trouble agreeing with each other. - The first split came early in the meeting when Mayor Potticary of Oshawa pro- posed that an executive committee be established which would include all eight mayors from the region. Mayor Malcolm liked the idea. He said later that the Northumberland - Durham County council has an executive of sorts ang ~it works very well. Councillor Rose obfected on the grounds tWat an executive might form a sort of cabinet and take power away from ordinary councillors. Council eventually adopted the idea of having an executive committee, but it changed the structure over the Oshawa mayors original suggestions. Instead of the mayors serving as the executive four standing 1} committees will be chosen and the chairmen of these committees, plus the two council members who will be named to the police commission, plus Chairman Walter Beath will form the executive. Mayor Malcolm and Councillor Rose were united in their opposition to this structure, - Mr. Malcolm said later that he liked the original idea of having all mayors in the executive because in that way every part of the region would have been represented. He agreed that the system approved could result in the executive being made up of four lawyers from Oshawa, and commen- ted, "I don't care for that roposal at all." Mr. Rose was opposed to the set up because, he thinks, it places the power in too few hands. Both men disagreed with councils decision to add the two police commissioners to the executive. The - reason for including them was that the police commissioners will not likely have too much to do anyway so they may as well spend some time on the executive. As Mr. Malcolm put it to the STAR later, "I couldn't see any reason for Just throwing them in be- cause there wasn't much else for them to do. It seemed like a poor reason and I like to have a good reason for doing something." The four standing committees approved by council will be responsible for; Welfare and Social Services, Planning and - 3 Development, Finance and Works. Committee members will be selected when coun- cil meets again this afternoon. .

Mr. Moir, who suffered was the multiple fractures, pronounced dead at scene said the OPP spokesman, and was then taken to the Oshawa General Hospital.
