"CARRIED" ", . . . . Council Minutes REPORTS DELEGATION REPORTS Report #1 Verbal Report - 2- October 31, 2003 Patti Barrie, Municipal Clerk, advised Council that letters have been sent to all the election candidates providing them with Appointment of Scrutineer forms. This allows for either the candidates or their scrutineers to attend the Ballot Counting Station on November 10, 2003, located at the Garnet Rickard Complex and the Ballot Return Station located at the Municipal Administrative Centre. The Unofficial results will be announced in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Administrative Centre on November 10, 2003. The Municipal Elections Act states that candidates and/or their scrutineers are allowed to attend both the Ballot Counting Station and the Ballot Return Station and also to view the election results. It is therefore recommended that By-law 2001-141 be amended to allow Mr. Ward access to the Municipal Administrative Centre for election purposes without first receiving written permission from the Chief Administrative Officer. Richard Ward, 3709 Regional Road 9, Orono, LOB 1 MO, advised Council that everything they heard at the special Council Meeting held of July 6, 2001, was untrue. He stated that there is no fact or substance of truth, no witnesses, reports or incidents that had occurred. He noted that he would like to see what evidence there was to justify the actions that were taken at that meeting. Mr. Ward stated that he has never touched a single person or made a threat to anyone or even a threatening phone call. He has attended over 1500 meetings over the last 15 years and has only ever asked questions; questions that he does not get answers to. Mr. Ward noted that By-law 2001-141 is not just and should not have been passed in the first place.
