Council voted at the Regular Council meeting on 5/21/2019 not to increase their salaries passed at the previous week’s Committee of the Whole. Councillors Beatty, Burchat and Mayor Henderson reversed their yes vote and voted no. The motion was defeated 4-3.
Gerry Walker has been communicating with the Town for two years trying to get an answer to his question of why the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee request to act as a Steering Committee was never required to act as an Advisory Committee.
Citizens provided their input to the Town’s draft strategic plan through almost forty emails and seven verbal submissions. John Draper summarizes this feedback very well on the “Cobourg News Blog” and you can read it all here:

Citizens Want More Engagement
Although the Cobourg Taxpayers Association (CTA) did not provide any feedback, several CTA directors did submit feedback as private citizens.
At the Committee of the Whole Council meeting on February 19, 2019, Council voted against continuing with the floating waterfront playground. The vote was 4 to 3 against.
Voting for the playground was Nicole Beatty, Aaron Burchat, and Brian Darling.
Voting against the playground was John Henderson, Suzanne Seguin, Emily Chorley, and Adam Bureau.
The Cobourg Council’s Procedural Bylaw controls every aspect of how our Councillors represent your wishes.
