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.
It seems that the Town wants to keep growing the Sunshine list and your taxes by creating and advertising for a new Director of Parks, Recreation, Tourism and Culture.
The sunshine list comprises those government employees that earn more than $100,000 and is published each year by the Ontario government.
