1.0 BACKGROUND
The Samuel Wilmot Nature Area Management Advisory Committee (SWNAMAC) is a
group of volunteers appointed by the Municipality of Clarington to assist the Municipality
and the Ministry of Natural Resources in managing the Samuel Wilmot Nature Area.
The Committee is also dedicated to preserving and improving the condition of the
Nature Area for the benefit of the wildlife that resides there and the enjoyment of the
residents of Clarington.
The Committee consists of a minimum of eight citizens + three staff + one Council
representative.
2.0 CURRENT SITUATION
At the Council meeting of June 7, 2011, Tim Lizotte was appointed to the SWNAMAC
for a term concurrent with Council.
On February 20, 2013, Municipal Clerk was notified that Mr. Lizotte has missed five
consecutive meetings without regrets requesting that he be removed from the
Committee.
The following is an excerpt from the "Protocol for Council-Appointed Advisory
Committees", which the SWNAMAC is bound by:
"Members unable to attend a Committee meeting shall notify the staff liaison at
least 24 hours in advance. Members unable to attend a meeting cannot send an
alternate. The Chair shall advise the Municipal Clerk in writing of any member
who is absent from the meetings for three successive months without being
authorized to do so by a resolution of the Committee, and may request that the
member be removed from the Committee."
Accordingly, the Municipal Clerk's Department contacted Kate Potter, who had
previously expressed an interest in serving on the Committee, to determine whether she
wished to put forward her name for consideration. Attached please find her confidential
application.
