st tribune february 17 1993 p3 council didnt blow it not releasing memo to sos whitchurchstoufrville politicians did not blow iff when they refused to share a government doc ument with a local ratepayers group two weeks ago said one local official last week ward 4 councillor cliff dunkeld said he was unaware local politicians werent cooperating with executive members of the save our stouf fville sos group until he read the tribune weekender and saw ward 6 councillor ken pren tices comments prentice had stressed he was puzzled by councils reaction at a feb 2 meeting when his bid to send sos a town of markham resolution was turned down prentice said the document which criticizes ottawa plan to give grants in lieu of paying municipal taxes on federallyowned buildings would show sos the types of economic pressure the town faces from higher levels of government prentice also said sending the document to a citizens group would strengthen the towns voice against the issue but dunkeld said the memo had nothing to do with soss mandate to keep municipal and educational taxes at the same level as last year sos is looking into local pro jects and this markham government grants reso lution showing a federal grant of 14000 shouldnt change what sos wants to do dunkeld said dunkeld also said the town has made every effort to meet with the group at their conve nience that shows an effort lets get this town back to what it is supposed to be the friendliest town in ontario dunkeld said and ward 2 councillor stephen bellerby echoed dunkelds comments stating the sos group is more concerned with local big ticket items such as the proposal of a fire truck expenditure this memo is not part of their agenda beller by said but prentice insisted council turned down a chance to inform sos ill quote former chief administrative officer bob panizza when he said an informed taxpayer is a wise taxpayer this memo showed the finan cial pressures we face it would make sos more informed

fines could be raised for illegal burning town people who illegally burn materials in whitchurchstouffville could get slapped with a 5000 fine a report to council states this week officials are expected to repeal a 12yearold burning bylaw under the provincial fire marshals act and replace it with a revised bylaw that would see fines hiked from 2000 to 5000 the towns fire chief had stressed concern that while the ontario law proved effective through fines issued by the jus tice of the peace all monies generated through convictions went to the province the chief said the municipality performs all the leg work pro vides all the man hours and dishes out the court costs but receives no remuneration from the convictions the building director has drafted a new bylaw which will allow
