Report CD-45-88 - 2 - October 3, 1988
Under the provisions of The Municipal Act, R.S.O. 1980, s. 208, paragraph 57, c.
302, municipal councils are authorized to appoint museum boards. Members appointed
under the paragraph shall hold office at the pleasure of council and unless removed
sooner, shall hold office until the expiration of the term of the council which
appointed them and until their successors are appointed.
Town of Newcastle By-law 79-68 provides that Members of the Board who are Members of
Council, shall be appointed annually and that all other Members shall hold office
for a three year term. Section 3(d) of the By-law, indicates that the terms of
office are to be staggered to allow for a constant turn over in Board Members.
The provisions of the Municipal Act prevail It is, therefore, respectfully
requested that the amending by-law attached hereto be forwarded to Council for
adoption.
