I referred to Councillor Gaertner's rationale for supporting the plan to obscure the winter view of part of a baseball lighting pole from the dining room window of a house where the residents are not planning to reside.
Councillor MacEachern took up the cudgels and related the matter to council's previous approval of height for a Condo Building on the north corner of Centre and Yonge Street. The Councillor's comments were directed at Councillors Gallo and Wilson.
On the O.P. Amendment, Councillor Gallo had first voted for Councillor MacEachern's motion to defer. When it failed he voted for the Amendment which allows a site plan to proceed.
In essence, both Councillors were being criticised by Councillor MacEachern for judgement in a previous vote.
It's a clear contravention of The Rules. But not in Mormac
The next Council meeting is the last to be televised before the election.Whatever happens from then on will not be on camera . Unless Councillors object to the shut down.
Newmarket Council meetings are televised until the election.They probably see the service as much a benefit to electors as incumbents.

What's Mormac?
I hope that councillors do object to the early shutdown of televising council meetings. It is especially leading up to an election that we, the voters, need to see what is going on and and not everyone can attend the meetings in person.
