week but councillors had to acknowledge that changes are needed in Heltons business development department The planning and public works com mittees endorsement of an updated business development bylaw Wednesday means the department would continue providing groundwork for industrial promo tion while any area municipality wishing to handle its own sales and promotion could do so Council must ratify the decision this Also recommended Is the formation of a Regional business advisory committee If approved Regional chairman Pete would also chair the committee of private citizens with business backgrounds Joined for regular meetings by councillors from each of the area municipalities The endorsement was supported by three Burlington Regional councillors on the committee who failed in their bid to defeat a recent motion before Burlington council seeking sole responsibility for the Citys business development Burlington Mayor Bird told the planning committee his city Is no longer seeking a full rebate of its annual contribution to Regional business develop ment The City will request a partial rebate Instead at a rate yet to be decided he said Although in favor of maintaining the dual approach Mayor Harry Barrett said his city has attracted far more In dustrial assessment than usual In the past year because a member of its planning staff was assigned to handle local business development Thanks to the staffers more personalized tactics he said ward is getting around that Oakvilles a good place to do business Letting Region staff handle sales and promotions suffers by com parison Barrett said Whats good for Oakville may not be good for Burlington he commented Who belter knows whats good for Burlington than the people who live and work In Burlington The Regional business development is not a joy for Burlingtons business development department Bird added because the Region is running interference They ruffle feathers Arguing that the premise of sharing new industrial assessment among area municipalities is no longer a valid argument and may increasingly become a deterrent to maintaining the current system Bird noted that 12 Ontario municipalities are currently launching their own business development programs Of the Regional departments annual budget he said Burlington con tributes 137 Halton Hills and Milton about Bird pointed out that City staff had lined on alternative giving full authority for business development to the area municipalities and leaving the Region with basic coordination duties In my view thats slimming It down too far he said calling Burlingtons current model In which It handles its own sales and promotion against a background of Regional research and support the most effective Unconvinced that Region oriented sales and promotion are not as effective and equitable councillors Mike Armstrong of Hills and Carol Gooding of argued in favor of teamwork among the four areas Somebody got to tell me whats wrong with present system Armstrong said Whats wrong with duality of service The present system la an exercise In duplication Burlingtons Walter Mulkewich answered Its not in tune with the trend across the Province toward community A recommendation placing most business development responsibilities with the Region but leaving the door open for the areas to handle their own sales and service If they
