I check the job postings on MWXTRA . It comes to me by e-mail. Sometimes it's the only way to know/.
The ad for the job in Newmarket is both interesting and alarming.
We followed Newmarket and Whitchurch Stouffville, buying a
Customer Service program
I've never been sure the administration and myself share an understanding of who the town's "customers," or "stakeholders " are.
The program, which Council was assured would cost no more , was a classic example.
I haven't seen any signs of improvement. But then I was not aware of problems either. I think of Councillors being first in the line of fire and being the first to know of "customer" dissatisfaction.
The wording of the Newmarket posting has Strategic Plan Commissioner written all over it.
It will undoubtedly be another six figure salary.
We just adopted a new Strategic Plan that cost us $80.000. Everybody but me is really excited about it. Kids at soccer games were asked what they wanted the town to look like in twenty years.
The first reference has already been made in a report recommending approval of the division of a large lot into two on Kennedy Street West,
The comment was; the division of a single large lot into two large lots conforms to the provincial requirements for intensification.
It also accomplishes the town's objective of providing a superior quality of life for all.
I kid you not.
I don't have the report in my hand. My wording is not a precise quote. But that certainly was the meaning.
I read it out at the Council meeting. I laughed but without any real amusement.Sometimes there's nothing else you can do.
Newmarket is probably ahead of us in adopting a twenty year
Strategic Plan. We do seem to be the Johny- Come- Latelies
It should be an advantage in knowing what mistakes not to make but in this business, in this age, nobody ever admits making mistakes
Reading the ad gives an idea of what Newmarket's plan intends to accomplish
All that's required is a Harry Potter Wizard type candidate complete with a magic wand.
That will be us in a short while.. I'll betcha.

The last division of a lot on Kennedy Stree West into two went to the OMB who ok'd it as part of in-filling along Yonge Street where the services would be available. A few tweaks were necessary to cut the two sides down a bit each but that was all. That was years ago and that parcel of land is still for sale at the moment. So the owner really wasn't planning on building two houses with one for sale. In the meantime, wildlife uses it as a corridor between two branches of water. Weeds get cropped and I guess some taxes are paid. Lots of places for sale on that street. The contractors shot up enormous buildings in which no one appears to live.
Evelyn, please check but I think it was Morris who took the division of that lot on Kennedy Street West to the OMB. She might have thought she would get a cluster of votes. She lost and I'm pretty sure there were no Morris signs on that street.
Wonder what that cost Aurora?
