The committee favoured Damoff's bid to ask for money from the Province for the specialized, accessible transit services it mandates, such as care-A-van. The Ward 2 councillor also drew committee support in asking for a change in how future rates and fees debates are handled -- expanding public meetings to two sessions, one for presentations and delegations and another for budget committee approval instead of one meeting. Besides talking rates and fees, the budget committee turned its head to recommending pre-approval for capital projects set to get underway during the first quarter of this year, including funding for the Town's Emerald Ash Borer management program, the rehabilitation of the Rebecca Street bridge over Sixteen Mile Creek, renovations to pool equipment and fitness changerooms at Iroquois Ridge Community Centre, and repairs at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts. Anyone wishing to appear as a delegate at Tom Adams Town council's meeting next week needs to register in advance by emailing townclerk@ oakville.ca or calling 905-815-6015 by noon Monday (Jan. 26). The 2015 budget documents will be released to council and the public on Feb. 19. The budget committee will hold formal and informal public meetings before the budget is brought before council on March 30. -- with files from Michael Gregory The Kindergarten Program will be offered at 45 elementary schools across the Board in 2015­2016.
