June 14, 2016 UPDATE: Council used common sense and rejected this expenditure.
On the June 13th Committee of the Whole agenda, there is a proposal to approve the hire of a Business Attraction Consultant. This proposal to spend $61,500 for four months ($184,000 annualized) has numerous issues in how taxpayers’ money is spent.
Don Morrison sent a detailed letter to the Town outlining many concerns about the CIVIC proposal. His letter documented thorough and detailed observations on why Council should NOT adopt the CIVIC plan. The CTA agrees with Mr. Morrison and has sent a letter of support to the Mayor and Council.
Bryan Lambert and Rocky Varcoe, owner of the Park Theatre, were John Hill’s guests on Week in Review on 89.7 FM to discuss the latest proposal from the “Friends of the Park Theatre”.
The CTA would like to thank Ian Davey, Cobourg Treasurer and Sally Leblanc, Supervisor of Public Buildings for their initiative and extra hard work to save taxpayers $10,000 in replacing the Victoria Hall chiller tower platform. Initially there was only one bid of about $40,000 but Ian was not willing to accept the excessive amount quoted.
$3.48 a small price to pay for democracy
Cobourg Council should vote to hold a by-election to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Councillor Theresa Rickerby says the Cobourg Taxpayers Association (CTA).
Under the Municipal Act, there are two choices for filling her vacancy.
