🗺️🦹 Boundary Adjustment
Letter from Nuttal to Oro-Medonte Mayor Greenlaw, March 19: https://barrie.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=13940516&GUID=50F203AC-059F-41EF-8911-3871C13D35C1 regarding the Boundary Adjustment Provincial Facilitation Process
A response to Mayor Greenlaw's letter of March 4, which was not circulated - however, the Oro-Medonte resolution referred to as receiving unanimous support is available at https://oromedonte.civicweb.net/FileStorage/DCFC7B47DD27412D9E997B73ED1B13D4-2025%2002%2025%20A%20Motion%20Regarding%20the%20Barrie%20Boundary%20.pdf
Oro-Medonte's resolution was that all further discussions about Barrie's proposed Boundary adjustment be held in Open Sessions (we wholeheartedly approve!), that there be a revised terms of reference, and the process should not take more than six months
Oro-Medonte's rationale for this resolution included that the process is not transparent to the Public and does not allow public input (again, we agree - please see our position paper on this issue), is slow to progress and doesn't have a specific timeline, is already 60% over budget, plus the Hemson Report they'd agreed to indicated no boundary change was necessary (among other issues)
Nuttall continues to insist on the boundary adjustment on his terms, and states that Oro-Medonte's request for accountability, transparency and public input "jeopardizes our discussions"
