Before councillors took their seats before the cameras they had already been meeting in camera for more than three hours, primarily discussing local property issues. The regular council meeting involved some real rearranging of the agenda, so I have been a little more thematic in my notes for clarity.
The meeting began with a pleasant duty for Mayor Ian Boddy - recognizing the Owen Sound Volunteers of the Year.
Among them, this year's honourees have over 120 years (to which they will admit) of combined service to their communities. Eugenia Rawn was primarily nominated for her work with the Quota Club, and Ann Kelly for the Festival of Northern Lights, but between the two there was hardly a community cause or committee to which they had not made a contribution. Barbara Olmsted, manager of the Auxiliary-run gift shop at Grey Bruce Health Services, spends as much time on her duties there as any full-time employee. Of course, being the gracious women they are, all three Volunteers of the Year thanked and credited others for their success.
Mayor Ian Boddy announced today that City Manager Ruth Coursey will be retiring effective immediately after a 26 year career in municipal government.
"On behalf of Council and the citizens of Owen Sound, I would like to thank Ms. Coursey for her dedication to the City since accepting the position in July 2011. She has been extremely beneficial to the residents, and has made great strides within the business community", commented Mayor Boddy. "Personally, I thank Ms. Coursey for her assistance during my transition to the mayor's office, and I wish her much success as fresh opportunities and adventures come her way".
Council has named Wayne Ritchie as the Acting City Manager. Mr. Ritchie has been with the City of Owen Sound since 2001 as the Director of Finance.
