Acting chair Tunney, whc officially became chair latez in the evening, replied thai Morton took it upon himsell te notifr both the board and media of bis decision. «It was not the responsi. bîhity of the CEO (chiel executive officer Elizabeth Woodbur) or the acting chairm an » said Tunney. But s1Ze .acknowledged that both the executive committee and noniinating committee knew of Mor- ton'sý resignation before- hand. "If the nominating com- mittee knew the rest of the board should have be notified,» Pýrout retorted.- Hladden, who moved up rrom second vice-chair te assume Tunneys frest vice- chair duties, jumpedte the dlfnce, of bothTunney and Woodbury. (Director Peter Spratt was chosen te filHadden's spot on the executive cern- riittee.) "It's quite ap earent that Ur. Morten made the deci- ion te notify the board and ýf it's fallen between the racks, that's Mr. Morton'e ,esponsibility," said Had- len.

Leader refuses te, pay the $75 fines until the Town responds te, hie argument that the bylaw is contrary te the Ontario Municipal Act. According to Lader, the act states that no byaw that prohibits or reglates signe or other advertising devices, applies te a aigu or advertising device lawfuîly erected or dispîayed on the day the bylaw- comes into force. Since aIl of hie clients' sign were in place prior to the bylaw coming into effect on Feb. 1, Leader contends that tbe =bylaw does not appîy. However, Town officiaIs argue that in order for a tporar sign te have been legal, a permit should have been issued prior te the sig!n's installation. Themunicipaiity'e- records indicate that no permits were issued prior te the bylaw's adoption. leUader, who was given a bill for $322 in August after the Town confiscated a number of temporary signe which had been erected outaide a Dundas Street shopping plaza, bas since gotten hie Property back.
