REPORT ON COUNCIL<\/strong>
\nJanuary 26, 2009<\/p>\n

Committee of the Whole Meeting: 9.00 a.m. \u2013 12:47 and 1:08 p.m. \u2013 2:15 p.m.
\nRegular Evening Meeting: 7:07 p.m. \u2013 7:40 p.m.
\nFour members of Council present, Councillor George Cornell away on vacation.<\/em><\/p>\n

CONFIDENTIAL \/ CLOSED SESSION:<\/strong> 10:06 a.m. \u2013 12:35 p.m. This session included a discussion with David Clark of David A. Clark Consulting Inc., who has been facilitating the relationship between the Township and the Parks and Recreation groups.<\/p>\n

COMMENDABLE FIRE DEPARTMENT COOPERATION:<\/strong> Randy Smith, Fire Chief, described the various ways that five fire departments \u2013 those in Tiny, Penetanguishine, Midland, Tay and the Township of Georgian Bay — have been and will be making cooperative use of resources.
\nBeyond this local group, the Chief tells us that he is Vice President of the Simcoe County Fire Chiefs\u2019 Administration Group (which includes all Simcoe County Chiefs). This larger group is following the same cooperative path, though more slowly. Chief Smith believes that there\u2019ll be more regionalization of fire departments in the years to come as municipalities strive to control rising costs.<\/p>\n

TOWNSHIP WEBSITE REDESIGN:<\/strong> Last year, the County of Simcoe acquired new software, which allows municipalities to create and manage their own websites. Brenda Biggs, the Township\u2019s GIS\/Computer Coordinator, reported that staff has been reviewing various home page layouts used by other Ontario municipalities and has produced a draft layout design. The draft design is much livelier than the old one and includes: Quick Links, Upcoming Events, a Fire Rating logo, Tiny\u2019s Contact Information, and a Community Calendar. A Website Content Committee is now preparing to develop and manage all areas of the website\u2019s content. In due course, the public is to be asked for input.<\/p>\n

REPORT ON BUILDING IN TINY FOR 2008:<\/strong> The total value of construction in Tiny Township in 2008 was $31,368,000, down from $35,059,000 in 2007. However, as the figure for 2007 included $7.5 million for Le Villageois, the retirement complex in Lafontaine, construction activity actually held up very well in 2008.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
