WAGG CITY CLERK MAYOR The City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Council Chambers No. 81 Moved by Alderman HENDERSHOT Seconded by Alderman VOLPATTI November 13, 1995 WHEREAS, on October 23, 1995, the heads of the thirteen Regional Municipalities operating in Ontario submitted a lengthy and comprehensive proposal to the Honourable Michael Harris, Premier of the Province stating that Regional Governments are the best level of government to provide municipal services; advocating an aggressive dismantling of local government as we know it, including the abolition of hundreds of Ontario cities, towns, villages, townships, boards of education, hydro and transit authorities and special purpose municipal bodies, and requesting the establishment of an exclusive "Provincial/Regional" partnership for the purpose of rationalizing jurisdictions and rearranging the future financing and delivery of all major municipal services under the control of Regional governments; AND WHEREAS, the said proposal was conceived, drafted, approved, executed and forwarded to the Premier by the thirteen Regional Chairs: without the awareness, involvement or sanction of their respective regional councils; without the involvement or knowledge of the area municipalities and other local bodies which they propose to abolish, and without any form of consultation with the municipal electorate, services to whom they propose or reorganize and remove from the authority and control of their locally-elected councils, boards and commissions; AND WHEREAS, the Regional Chairs submitted their proposal to the premier, erroneously advancing themselves as the representatives of two-thirds of Ontario's population when in fact, in all but two instances, they are chosen or elected by the members of their respective councils and therefore cannot purport to be the legitimate voices of popular selection; AND WHEREAS, the fundamental principles of democratic government as it is practiced in Canada, its provinces and in its municipalities include open, public consultation and decision by due process to the exercise of powers vested by the electorate in their properly, elected representatives at all levels of government; AND WHEREAS, in response to provincial government cost-cutting initiatives and other factors, citizens and their locally-elected bodies across Ontario have, in partnership and good faith, been resolutely and successfully applying themselves and their resources to the development and implementation of strategic plans, re: engineering concepts and other programs of down-sizing, consolidation and efficiency-enhancement; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Niagara Falls: a) Expresses its dismay and disappointment with the manner in which the thirteen Regional Chairs have utilized resources entrusted to the collective care of their elected councils for the purpose of independently and apparently clandestinely pursuing the wholesale dismantling of local government as we know it, and, with the apparent determination on the part of the Regional Chairs that they are sufficiently knowledgeable, experienced and gifted as to be capable of planning the future of municipal government in this province and of divining its proper course without the need to consult with or consider the views of their duly-elected regional and local colleagues, and without regard for the opinions or will of the tax-paying electorate; b) Respectfully petitions the Honourable Michael Harris, Premier of Ontario, to: i) take no action on the submission made to him by the Regional Chairs, realizing that its content represents no more than the opinions of its thirteen signatories; ii) in keeping with the Provincial Government's long-standing commitment to public participation, provide with a specific timetable, a mechanism whereby the restructuring of municipal government will be undertaken with the complete involvement and participation of all municipal councils, agencies and authorities, including a means whereby the tax-paying electorate may exercise its right to clearly express its will in the matter; c) Direct that a copy of this motion be forwarded to the attention of the Honourable A1 Leach, Minister of Municipal Affairs, together with a request that he lend his support to its content and to the petition herein made to the Premier of Ontario; d) Direct that a copy of this motion be forwarded to the attention of the City's representatives to the Provincial Parliament with a request for their full and active support before the legislature; e) Direct that copies of this motion be forwarded to the attention of each of the City's Regional Councillors with a request for their active support before the Regional Council; f) Direct that a copy of this motion be forwarded to the attention of the Council of the Regional Municipality of Niagara; g) Direct that a copy of this motion be forwarded to the attention of the Councils of the area municipalities and to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario with a request for their endorsement and active support;
