The township parks, culture and recreation committee did not have much luck on Aug. 16.
Council rejected outright one of the three committee recommendations, and sent a second back for more details. The latter motion said the committee “supports and promotes activities for July 1, 2012.”
Councillors indicated at a previous meeting the committee needs to be more specific with its recommendations, and that was again the case.
Councillor Mike Downey asked council, “What support? Moral? Ten thousand dollars?”
He alluded to a past incident of misunderstanding and said, “Once bitten, twice shy.”
Chief administrative officer Patty Sinnamon told council it simply needs more information from the committee.
Downey noted last year was the 10th anniversary of Mapleton Township and the local Rotary Club got involved in the celebrations. Sinnamon said if a group wants to get involved in leading those celebrations that would be great, but in the meantime, council should get clarification of the committee’s intentions.
The only recommendation from the committee that council approved was to accept the committee’s minutes.
