BACKGROUND
PAGE 2
At the Council meeting of January 31, 2011, appointments were made to the Samuel
Wilmot Nature Area Management Advisory Committee. On May 16, a resignation was
received from Shirley Minifie due to the fact that she is moving out of the area.
When the Samuel Wilmot Nature Area Management Advisory Committee was formed in
1998, Council adopted a Terms of Reference which set out the composition of the
Committee as being: '
Chair
Secretary
Committee Members (6)
Agency Members (3)
Council Representative (1)
Since at least 2002, the Committee has been operating under a revised Terms of
Reference which states the Committee will be comprised of a minimum of eight
individuals not including staff members or the Council representative.
In 2004, the Committee had 11 citizen appointees and in 2007 there were 10 citizen
appointees. The committee has requested that the vacant position be filled and that two
other members be added to the committee, bringing the citizen representation to 10
members. Having more members will allow for the Committee to do more site work and
raise public awareness through special events and other communication initiatives.
Accordingly, the Terms of Reference of the Committee should be amended to reflect
this change.
The Municipal Clerk's Department has contacted two individuals whose applications are
on fife and they have both indicated an interest in being appointed to the Committee.
CONCLUSION
It is respectfully recommended that the Terms of Reference of the Samuel Wilmot
Nature Area Management Advisory Committee be amended to increase the
membership to a minimum of eight individuals, that Shirley Minifie be thanked for her
contribution to the Committee, that Karin Murphy and Tim Lizotte be appointed to the
Committee and that the Municipal Clerk place an advertisement seeking applications to
fill the vacancy on the Committee.
Interested parties to be advised of Council's decision:
Shirley Minifie
Karin Murphy
Tim Lizotte
