"If you wanted to get consensus that evening, that's what you have in front of you but I thought il impor- tant ta saat these concerna." Town clerk Helen Liai reminded counicillors that staff did the agonizing in the initial stage of the process. "TMe staff committee did take a lot of time breeking it down into needs," she said. "We had a financial analysis done by a deputy treasurer that was fairly extensive." Councillor Furik also questioned the logic of essign- ing a whopping $25,000 - by far the largest single chunk of funding in the plan - ta the Link Foundation. Link helps promote active living for the physically disablei. Mr. Furik noted that as a provincial agency, Link could potentially eam millions by applying for ftsnd- ing aIl acroas Ontario.

"We have given them priority as dictated by the Province," she sald. Under the funding formula, Link held the best hand by being the only organization that had thrown a Monte CarIa fundraising event between January 1, 1996 and March 31, 1998, she said. Mayor Gord Krantz attempted ta calrn the waters by acknowledging that criticism wiIl likely came despite hard work by Town staff. 1I can only suspect that the staff committee went through a fair bit of soul-seerching and a fair bit of debate," he said. "Maybe they'll take a fair arnount of criticisrn for it, too."
