Dr. Charles Elliott, superin- tendent of public schools, said there are more than enough children in Oshawa to warrant SE Ae NS tne He said that after listening to advice of experts on this sub- ject, the class would be "a com- ing and going proposition". He said it is his hope and expec- tation some of the children placed in this class will return to regular classes so others can be brought into it. Dr. Elliott said a teacher in the Oshawa public school sys- Board tem is prepared to teach such a class, He added that the board budgeted for this class in its 1966 expenditure estimates under the item, of opportunity) classes, He said it will be a neces- sity to locate the class close to a gymnasium. pecause tnese children require exercise.

COUNCIL TO MEET WEDNESDAY Board Of Control Move Here Would Be Revolutionary used. City Clerk Roy Barrand estimates that 5,000 to 7,000 ratepayers are not on the list Hamilton's board of control is council's. bargaining unit for negotiations with civic em- and vote at council proceed- ings, making the _ two-thirds over-riding vote difficult to a- with spending. A straight coun- cil majority is sufficient to block a board decision but the two- BOARD DUTIES Basically, the duties of a board of control as set down in a board of control. However, the Act also allows councils in cities of 100,000 population, on a municipalities grow, many have adopted one of two different types of civic administration; The most revolutionary mu- nicipal government change in the 43-year history of the City of Oshawa may be initiated this week by city council The Oshawa and District La- bor @ouncil has asked city council to establish the posi- tion of full-time mayor and a board of control. Council's finance committee, which is investigating the re- quest, will probably make a recommendation to council at a committee meeting Wednesday. Oshawa has always had a council-committee form, of ad- ministration. But, as Ontario board of control or city man- ager Although the labor council suggested a June plebiscite on the board of control issue, coun- «il could, on a two-thirds vote, pass a bylaw establishing a board of control, subject to On- tario Municipal Board approval. The-question -- to have or not to have a board of 'control -- was found to be faced eventual- ly by an Oshawa council. The Municipal Act says cities of 100,000 population "shall" have two-thirds vote, to pass a bylaw providing that the city 'shall not'"' have a board of control, subject to OMB approval. Boards of control are com- monly known as the "executive arm" of municipal government Council as a whole makes all final decisions but in most mu- nicipalities operating with a board of control, the board has such extensive powers of juris- diction and influence that it is the effective policy shaper at city hall, the Municipal Act, are related to finance and internal man agement, The board: --prepares the annual budget for submission to council; --calls for and recommends all contract awards; --nominates all staff appoint- ments and dismisses or sus- pends department heads; Aldermen must muster a iwo thirds majority to reverse board recommendations on contract awards, staff appointments and dismissals and anything dealing thirds vote is needed to vary it. The Oshawa and District La- bor council requested that al- dermen be elected by a general vote, just as the four controll- ers and mayor would be elect- ed. But the labor council did not specify the number of al- dermen to be elected. Twelve aldermen are now elected .by a general vote and if that number was retained, Oshawa would have a 17-mem- ber council. , Board of control members sit chieve. With a 17-member coun- cil, all 12 aldermen would have to be unanimous tp provide the majority needed to reverse a unanimous board decision In London, which has had a board of control and a 19-mem- ber council since 1961, the board has never been upset more than five times in any one year by the two-thirds mechan- ism Council may ssign to the board any duties which it may deem proper. As an example, ployees. Council may refer back to the board any report, nomination, question or matter for reconsid- eration. In cities with populations less than 100,000, board of control salaries shall not exceed $2,500 per year per member. If Oshawa's council decided to hold a plebiscite in June it would cost about $12,000 -- the same as the cost of a regular election. And, the outdated 1964 voter's list would have to be To update the list, lengthy court of revision hearings would be necessary. Council has three alternatives on the board of control question. It could reject or. postpone in- definitely the labor council's request on a straight majority vote; it could concur in the re- quest and call a June plebiscite on a straight majority vote; or it could establish a board of control on a two-thirds majority vote,
