(Coun cil lors receive tbeir agen- das Friday night while'members of the public and media cannot obtain agendas until the day of a meetinffgusually Monday) Buffet received support fromn councillors Tom Edwards and Dennis Fox. Mayor Bob Attersley and councillors Joe Drumm Marcel Brunelle, Joe Bugelli anc1 Ross Batten voted against tbe motion. "There are members of the public wbo perceive council is holding back information until that day,"P said Buffett, noting U e e De Thornas Tax Planners 1050 Simncoe St.O N. Suite 103, Oshawa 432-6640 By Mike Johnston Whitby councillors bave tur- ned down a motion to provide early agendas because tbey don't want to answer ratepayers' ques- tions on weekends, dâalms centre ward councillor Lynda Buffett. Buffett made the comment after council voted 5-3 Monday night to turn down tbe motion permitting agendas to be made available a day earlier, meaning Friday instead of Monday, when meetings are usually beld. "It was turned down because they" don't want to 'answer ques- tions over tbe weekend,» said Buffett, disappointed tbat ber motion did not receive approval. Buffett bad argued that early agendas would make council that Ajax Pikcering and Oshawa all provide agendas a day before a meeting. But bier arguments fell on deaf ears as councillors maintained they were elected to make the decisions to run the municipa- said Batten. Bugelli called tb motion a "tempest in a demi- tasse." "We run a multi-million cor- poration," said Drumm. "You are bere to run a corporation and that's your job and you had better be taking it more seriously that trying to get agendas early te seven or eigbt complainers." He argued that council bas no bidden agenda and noted tbat during 1988, tbe planning department prepared 314 "In fltwo~ meetings tbis year theyhave deait witb 55 reports and tbat will exceed 600 in 1989,"> said Drumm. Buffett bad said an early agenda would bave no impact on the long list of items tbe Town is attempting to deal witb. But Brunelle countered tbat staff need as mucb time as tbey can get to prepare a report for coun- cillors. "I bave to put that concern against tbe public in tbe audience concerned about tbis issue," said Brunelle p.itingto a near-empty council chambers. Bugelli aiso referred to the lack of 'interest on tbe matter, sayi;ng be did not bave one pbone cail specifically on the issue. He said residents affected by an item before council are given ample time to consider it, with advertisements placed in local papers and mailed notices. Buffett disagreed. Sbe said notices mailed to residents often contain no information and only inform tbem to appear at a committee. After the meeting Buffett said sbe would present the same motion to council, "but not for a wbile."
