Hubbard said- she was not comfortable with the proposal of the Newcastle Community Services Services Planning Board and felt it could become another political arm of counciL She suggested the Board could erode. decision making for both council and the Community Community Services Department. The councillor pointed out there had been no mention of the Visual Arts Centre who would like to have more input , into the plan. She also suggested suggested that the report could have commented on cemetaries and parks. Counc. Hubbard also asked asked about consideration of the fjydro recreation centre to which Blazak said the report does rule out development at this time as to poor location and consideration that it would not be used extensively by residents of the area. Counc. Cowman also stated she was having difficulty difficulty with the Board and said it appeared that such a board wornId produce another political action group. She said- groups that are not vocal could be left out as the soccer group who have asked for a twin playing field and possible lights.

She also said Solina was used used as an example as to park development when Tyrone is possibly the best example in Ontario. She stated the Solina group represents some fifty families who do not want any use of their facilities facilities shared by those from Mitchell Corners. Mayor Rickard said the Town did have a committee of citizens as suggested in the Master Plan to co-ordinate recreational interests in the Town and to provide information information but that in two or three years it disbanded. He said he felt the Master Plan was to provide a thrust to recognize skills in the.Town and to provide an opportunity opportunity for expansion. He said pressure groups did not bother him and felt it was better to have motivation than disinterest, proposed board would work if council, would give it the opportunity to do so. He said he did not see it usurping council. Taylor recommended the Master Plan be tabled to the council meeting of June 27th and that the Community Services Services Department publish that the report will be available at all municipal offices offices and libraries in the Town and that those wishing : to express views attend the council meeting on June 27th. iThe -resolution, carried.
