2. The Mayor s ta ted he wished t o read the following report dealing with the recent discussion tha t had been held in Council dealing with the issuance o f a building permit t o Artex Fabricators Limited on the basis of an instruct ion issued by Alderman Schrenk when she was Acting Mayor:

MAYOR'S REPORT - July 7 , 1980

Over the past few weeks, the composure of our Council has been rankled needlessly by actions tha t were not conducive t o the good government of t h i s Municipality.

I t never take any public. act i onab gathered L td . l e t

i s the intention of t h i s Council t o withhold information or action in Special Council meetings tha t r i gh t fu l ly should be Some members of Council were concerned over possible e statements and f e l t t ha t a l l pertinent f a c t s should be before any statements were made about the Artex Fabricators e r t ha t was received in Special Council on June 1 6 t h .

In his memorandum of June 1 7 t h , the Municipal So l i c i to r s t a t e s :

" i t is improper f o r a member of Council t o spec i f ica l ly d i r ec t an of f icer or employee of t h i s Corporation t o do o r not t o do something unless the member of Council i s acting on behalf of the whole of Council and has been delegated tha t respons ib i l i ty by resolution properly moved and passed."

In the Municipal S o l i c i t o r ' s report of June 23rd, question #13 s t a t e s :

"13. I s i t mandatory for the Chief Inspector t o re fer a l l applications fo r building permits t o the Advisory Design Panel? The answer i s yes."

Alderman Schrenk, without a d o u b t , superseded Council Policy i n her d i rec t ive of June 6th authorizing the issuance of a building permit.

The Municipal So l i c i to r , in his report of June 1 7 t h re position of Deputy Mayor paragraph numbered 4 s ta tes :

"There i s no provision in the Municipal Act fo r the appointment of a member of Council as a Deputy Mayor."

There never was any d o u b t in my mind tha t t h i s was so. Schrenk objected to being labelled Acting Mayor because of the thea t r ica l connotations and wished t o use the term "Deputy Mayor". To me i t was a matter of semantics and, over the objections of our Clerk, I made no e f f o r t t o intervene.

Alderman

I am convinced tha t Alderman Schrenk was not acting on the Mayor's behalf or Council 's behalf when she issued the direct ive of June 6th t o the Permits and Licenses Department.

Section 170 of the Municipal Act i s quoted by the So l i c i to r in his report of June 1 7 t h , numbered ''3":

5.

"Provision i s made, by Section 170, whereby the Council may appoint one of the members o f Council t o be Acting Mayor and, as such, tha t person has, d u r i n g the absence, i l l nes s or other

subject t o the same rules as the Mayor." d i sab i l i t y of the Mayor, a l l the powers of the Mayor and i s -

I am certain tha t every member of Council knows t h a t Section 170 does not take e f fec t unless the Mayor cannot be reached by telephone and i s not w i t h i n easy reach of the Municipal Hall. I was readily available by telephone d u r i n g the morning on June 6 t h and I was i n the Mayor's o f f ice a l l afternoon. Alderman Schrenk mistakenly addressed her direct ive t o Permits and Licenses as Deputy Mayor when she was not actually serving i n tha t capacity. I may well have recommended a motion of censor b u t t h a t was done i n a more posit ive way last week when Council voted t o disassociate i t s e l f from statements made i n the newspaper and reaffirm i t s confidence and s u p p o r t of the Advisory Design Panel.

I hope we have a l l learned from the experiences of the p a s t few weeks. Who was most affected? - Most of the mud f e l l on innocent volunteers who d i l igent ly contribute the i r expertise t o a panel that has imneasurably improved the q u a l i t y and beauty of our Commercial and Industrial communities for the past ten years.

All over t h i s municipality this 1980 Council i s being touted as the best ever - as a sensible group t h a t gets things done. I urge you t o show your matuirty and p u t this matter behind us as a lesson learned. Much of the legal advice we have received can help us be a bet ter Council w i t h a c learer understanding of our duties and roles. Let ' s get back t o the task a t hand and represent the people that elected us t o run t h i s Municipality as responsibly and in te l l igent ly as we possibly can.

Alderman Schrenk then stated she wished to make the f o l l o w i n g comnents i n regard t o the report made by the Mayor on t h i s matter. She stated that when she had been appointed Acting Mayor l a s t November u n t i l June 30th, she understood t h a t she was Acting Mayor each morning while i n the Mayor's office. action she had taken on issuing the direct ive t o the Permits & Licenses Department t o issue a building permit for Artex Fabricators L t d . was correct and i n order. She stated t h a t no p lans had been attached t o the rezoning By-law for Artex Fabricators' L t d . property. She claimed t h a t the Municipality w o u l d be open t o a law s u i t if the permit had not been issued. She referred t o the duties of the Mayor as outlined i n the Municipal Act. checked w i t h the B u i l d i n g Department t o see i f the plans were i n order for the permit to be issued. She was advised t h a t they were i n order provided the Development Cost Charges were p a i d . She also referred t o the policy dealing w i t h the Advisory Design Panel. She stated t h a t under th i s policy the Design Panel i s not t o delay the issuance of any b u i l d i n g permits. tha t had been heard i n Court where damages had been awarded because of the w i t h h o l d i n g of b u i l d i n g permits. She also made reference to the report of the Sol ic i tor on the various sections of the Act. claimed she had met a l l the requirements of the Municipal Act and had not abused her powers of Acting Mayor.
