(`ENING: General Purpose and Administration Committee
DATE: APRIL 6, 1987
REPORT #: ADMIN-6-87 FILE #:
SUBJECT: SOCIAL PLANNING COUNCIL OF OSHAWA-WHITBY
REQUEST FOR LOCAL REPRESENTATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:-
1. That Report #ADMIN.6-87 be received; and
2. That in the event that someone other than a member of Council is to be
appointed to the Social Planning Council Board of Directors, that the
Clerk be directed to advertise for applications to fill the appointment.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
As of March of 1986 the Social Planning Councils of Newcastle and Oshawa-Whitby have
amalgamated. Communication received from Susan Fletcher, Executive Director outlined
a request for permission to use the Municipality's name as part of their organization,
as well as a request for representation on their Board of Directors. By resolution
# C-210-87 Council has authorized incorporation of the Municipality's name with that
of the Oshawa-Whitby Social Planning Council .
With respect to the appointment of a representative on the Board of Directors and
after examining the parameters of the Board it is felt that the mandate of the Social
Planning Council does not fall within the scope of the various departments. Therefore
a recommendation whereby Council may appoint one of its members or a citizen from the
public sector is appropriate.

member of the Board and is generally assumed that Board Members will work with any one
of a number of Committees appointed by the Board (1987 Committees are outlined in the

regular basis.

Your Worship and Members of Council:
i
On behalf of the Social Planning Council, I wish to extend an invitation to
our Annual Meeting, at which bylaws will be passed allowing our expansion to
Newcastle. Although the SPC has included Newcastle since our amalgamation with
the Newcastle SPC last March, complete and correct bylaws are only now ready for
approval.
In connection with this event, I must make the following 2 requests:
1. That the Town of Newcastle give us official permission
to use its name in our new name.
2. That the Town of Newcastle appoint a representative to be
a member of the SPC's Board of Directors. Although we
would prefer that this person be a Councillor, a designated
staff person would also be appropriate, The Board meets on
the first Tuesday of each month, at 7:30 p.m. , in Simcoe Hall
Children's Centre, 600 Townline Rd. S. , Oshawa.
Our Annual Meeting will be held on March 3, 7:30 p.m. , at Hillsdale Manor
in Oshawa, as outlined on the .attached flyer. I hope we will be able to
introduce the Town's representative at that time.
Sincerely,
j:
Susan Fletcher,
Executive Director.
