Bugelli described AMO as the negotiating body which represents the municipalities in dealings. with the provincial and federal governnxent. He said the conferen- ce helpa develop a rap- port- between the municipalities and the province and some municipalities use the cônvention to lobby other municipalities. "But AMO is for the corporate good of On- tario municipalities as opposed to the in- dividual good of municipalities. AMO la not designeci to act as a spokesman for one group," saici Bugelli. He said local politicians will be very busy at the conference, too busy to attend everythlng being of- fered, so duties will be aplit up between Whit- by's representativea.

"That's not a lot but it's a start," said Bugelli adding that that is one of the biggest benefits of belonging to AMO. "the unity. There is strength in numbers,"1 said the councillor. Allen said AMO la compriseci of 658 municipal members but over 1500 people will be attending the three day convention, The annual member- ahip fee paici by Whitby to belong to AMO is arounci $300 while tax- payera wll pay $170 for each of the town's four delegates to the conven- ion, Taxpayers will also pick up hotel costs, Allen saici the two keynote speakers at this year's convention will be the leader of the New Democratic Party, Bob Rae, andi Bernard Grandmnaitre, minister of municipal affairs.
