1. BACKGROUND
In March 2008, Council passed By-law 2008-036 which establishes a Municipal
Service Board to operate the Orono Arena. Municipal Service Boards are
established under the authority of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended. Section
195(3) of the Act outlines the rules for the composition as follows:
1 . There shall be a minimum of three members, one of whom shall be the
chair.
2. All members shall be appointed by the municipality and shall be
qualified to be elected as a member of the council of the municipality.
3. The chair shall be the member designated by the municipality or
selected by the members of the board.
By-law 2008-036 defined the composition as 8 members: 2 representatives from the
Durham Central Agricultural Society; 2 representatives from the Orono Amateur
Athletic Association; 2 citizens from the former Township of Clarke; and 2 members
of Council.
In April 2011, following consideration of Report CLD-010-11, Council appointed
individuals to the Orono Arena and Community Centre Board. At that time, the
position of one of the representatives from the Durham Central Agricultural Society
was vacant.
2. CURRENT SITUATION
John Witheridge, Chair of the Orono Arena and Community Centre Board, has
confirmed that Gail McKenzie has agreed to be the Durham Central Agricultural
Society representative on the Orono Arena and Community Centre Board.
3. CONCURRENCE - Not applicable
4. CONCLUSION
In order to fulfill the requirements of the Act and By-law 2008-036, it is respectfully
recommended that Gail McKenzie be appointed to the Orono Arena and Community
Centre Board, for a term concurrent with the term of Council.
