Having served as Councillor in Tay Township for four years. gaining ex- perience and _ con- fidence, I felt it was time to progress. I therefore offered to serve the Township in the capacity of Deputy Reeve. To receive an acclamation to this position I believe is an expression of con- fidence by the ratepayers of Tay, confidence in my abilities, recognition of a willingness to work, trust in a_ principled approach to problems and general approval of past performance, policies followed, and positions taken on major issues. I pledge myself to continue to uphold the principles of honesty, sincerity, and equality. I pledge myself to continue to diligently apply my talents and experience in the best interest of Tay Town- ship. I pledge myself to careful consideration before important decisions and deter- mined resolve in im- plementing those decisions. Projects I would next address myself to _ several projects and issues that Tay Township faces as we move into a- new term of Council. It is with a large measure of satisfaction that I view the progress of the Water Works Project in Waubaushene into. the construction phase, however: there is much to be done to insure that the project is seen to completion properly, for the Taxpayers of Tay in Waubaushene. _Coun- cil's efforts will also be required to improve and operate efficiently the other Water Works in Tay. particularly the upcoming project in Gilwood Bay on Tay Point. The previous Council has instituted changes and improvements in the Administration of our Township. Several of these projects are still in the initial stages and careful stewardship will be required to see them effectively im- plemented in order to produce the results anticipated. The Township of Tay is at the leading edge of the movement to micro- computor utilization by smaller municipalities. In co-operation with the Ministry of Inter- Governmental Affairs we are developing procedures which will some day see widespread use and be helpful to many municipalities in in- creasing efficiency and controlling costs. This provides us with a sense of pride but should also make us cautious and cause us to progress with sure and carefully measured steps. The present economic difficulties faced by all municipalities are a cause for continuing concern. For the last two vears the Township of Tay has been able to hold the line on its mill rate. This has only been accomplished through tight fiscal policies of operation between Tay and it's neighbours I hope will continue, as certain aspects of the health and happiness of ratepayers are dependent on a larger unit than the individual municipality. To this end I trust the Minister of Housing will move expeditiously to confirm Tay's_ with- drawal from the T.T.P.P.B. This issue has received substantial coverage by our local media over the past several months during the recent. election, members' of _ that APPOINTED BODY which is by definition in the Planning Act, and ADVISORY BOARD have participated in surprisingly _ political lobbying and publicity. Given these con- ditions leading to public awareness and having previously taken a stand on this issue; I consider my acclamation in part, a mandate to pursue this issue to its con- clusion. Common sense dic- tates tome that we must continue to work with our neighbours. Common sense also dictates to me that this co-operation must be attained through mutually agreeable methods. Finally I congratulate you Mr. Reeve on your acclamation and members of council on your election. I look forward to working with you, with the philosophy that we have a job to get done. for the overall benefit of all the Tax- payers of Tay Town- ship. ~ A harbinger of winter Snow tires are never far behind the first Christmas carols which herald the winter holiday season.
