County council, during its last meeting, received a recommendation from its planning committee that the county create a planning department for the use of the member municipalities. Reeve Art Stewart, one of Penetanguishene's representatives at county council, said he and the reeve of a neighbouring township were successful in having the recommendation referred to com- mittee. However it appears that it will come back to county council at its July meeting. Councillor Ken Tannahill said, he hopes the county does a better job in planning than it does in education. "'The taxpayers don't need any more bureaucracy," he explained. "Our (town) planning board is doing a fine job." County planning meets with some opposition A county-levei planning department would be another expense, "and that's all it's going to be,"' Tannahill said. "TI agree with you," the reeve said. Public Works department chairman Ray Baker, who has also represented the town on the Tiny-Tay Peninsula Planning Board for some _ time, described the county planning committee's recommendation as the "'thin edge of the wedge." In other business, Mayor Ron Bellisle told council that, as has been the practice in other years, committee meetings and caucus meetings for the months of July and August will not be held on the regular schedule, but only at the call of the committee chairman for committee meetings, or at the call of the mayor for a caucus meeting. The monthly council meetings will be held, as always, on the fourth Monday of the month. also be provided to those people who plan to visit the Establishments on Saturday afternoon.
