The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville is going paperless, when it comes to council meeting agendas, reports and minutes. As of September, the agendas/reports/minutes will only be available in hard copy upon request. Otherwise, people can follow along on their tablets or smartphones while in the council chambers. "We recognize we need to make things available in different formats," Ken Turriff, spokesperson for the town, told The Sun-Tribune. Going paperless will save the municipality 100,000 sheets of paper a year, according to Mayor Justin Altmann, who made the announcement at the start of the July 28 council meeting. On average, town staff produces 25 agenda packages per council and public meeting. There are 250 pages, double-sided, per package and there are roughly 20 meetings a year, according to Altmann. The annual cost of paper alone, according to Turriff, ranges from $930 to $1,410. Along with trees, going paperless will save on staff time spent reproducing the agendas/minutes/reports as well as photocopier maintenance and ink.

Reg: $3.29/100g THIS WEEK BREAST $100,000 entrance sign questioned Spending $100,000 on a decorative municipal display sign at Hwy. 404 and Stouffville Road is "a total waste of money," according to Mayor Justin Altmann. Currently, Whitchurch-Stouffville only has a "lower tier basic" highway sign at the municipality's southern limit. The sign will face northbound Hwy. 404 traffic and be south of Stouffville Road but north of the exit. "It is the only spot left. But if we still had all the options, I would still choose this one," Marc Pourvahidi, the town's CAO told The Sun-Tribune. Aurora and Newmarket have constructed their municipal entry signs on Whitchurch-Stouffville property at Aurora Road and Mulock Drive respectively. Whitchurch-Stouffville's highway exits are Stouffville Road, Bloomington Road, Aurora Road, Mulock Drive and Davis Drive. But this is not an exit sign. "It's a destination sign," Pourvahidi told The Sun-Tribune. "Maybe people pass by but at least they know there's a town," he said. Town staff presented council with four preliminary options for the eight-foot-by-12-foot sign last month. Two of the designs that caught the eye of council included silhouettes of a church, clock tower and grain elevator. "A shout-out to our non-existent grain elevator," Councillor Hugo Kroon noted. Kroon, who initiated the sign back in April, said last month it would show "a certain amount of pride in our town" and "tell people Whitchurch-Stouffville is on the map." Councillor Ken Ferdinands admitted he was "a little lukewarm" to the idea. The mayor, however, was ice cold to it. "So we're going to turn down a food bank in the back (of the municipal building), which is 1,500 square feet and we're going to build, for $100,000 a sign that is 12 feet by two feet. I have a bit of a problem with it," he said during the July 28 council meeting. "I really think $100,000 will go back into the community a lot better," he said. Kroon noted he has already spoken to local businesses about helping offset the cost of the sign, which was something Councillor Iain Lovatt was happy to hear. It also appeared, upon hearing this, Altmann warmed up a little more to the idea, adding fundraising can also help pay for the sign. ­ Sandra Bolan Let's start with our Roasted Red Pepper Soup, which can be served hot or cold, or as a light pasta sauce!
