Obviously there will have to be an investigation of some sort if only to see how such a mess of miss-communication came to exist.<br /> If there was any doubt about the need to terminate that contract, it as been put to rest. A fresh start with new people is essential.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-75624531603501054212012-02-26T20:10:35.097-05:002012-02-26T20:10:35.097-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-81971871274399191512012-02-26T17:41:38.582-05:002012-02-26T17:41:38.582-05:00"Keep in mind the circumstances in which this..."Keep in mind the circumstances in which this board and the agreement were created. It was not done in this term. It was not done by legal counsel or Councillors. It was done by the Mayor's friends."<br /><br />"I knew the financial statement was submitted quarterly to the treasurer to obtain the next payment of funds. There was no obligation under the agreement to report any part of the information to Council."<br /><br />It is becoming readily apparent that the Aurora Cultural Centre and its agreement with the town was created in a manner that has caused the present Town Solicitor to voice several concerns. These relate in part to the relationship between the two parties. It is possible to amend the agreement by mutual consent. If this is not given, and the concerns are of a serious enough nature, the agreement can be terminated upon the town giving notice of one year. All agreements provide for some form of remedy in the event of a dispute or inherent weakness.<br /><br />What is even more startling is that the treasurer is approving quarterly payments of approximately $90,000 with no obligation to provide detail to members of Council. Where is there "no obligation?" Is it in the agreement itself or is the treasurer under no obligation to account to Council the detail concerning the annual disbursement of $360,000 of tax payer money?<br /><br />The hysteria that this matter has raised will probably not get resolved amicably and on a rational basis. It is my feeling that a first class facility that provides for the needs and desires of all our residents in the cultural, historical and heritage areas is probably a goal common to all the foaming-at-the-mouth participants.<br /><br />But because this debate has become so inflamed by irrational passion, it might be best, since we are probably witnessing something that falls within the scope of the Municipal Act, for the town to request a judicial inquiry in order to resolve once and for all how this building can be best utilized by all members of the community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-38478314685967374532012-02-26T17:23:15.596-05:002012-02-26T17:23:15.596-05:00That can't be right because it would mean that...That can't be right because it would mean that the Mayor and the CAO left Pirri and Abel out to hang .
