Welcome to my blog! MY primary objective is to alert my constituents and others in King Township about issues being reviewed at the upcoming Council meetings. I do this as I believe the quality of Council decisions is enhanced when the public is engaged. I hope that residents will make deputations and/or send emails to Council to express their opinion and/or to ask important questions. Also, I include notice of meetings and events which I think are particularly important. I welcome your comments, whether you agree or not with me, and only edit to eliminate inappropriate language.

Victory celebrations are entirely appropriate; we now have to monitor how the corrections are actually done.
Corporate Service Inventory
On Sept. 25 Council agenda there is a staff report presenting the Inventory of services provided to the community including the standards to be achieved. For example, how often is the grass cut at the baseball diamonds, what programs are to be offered at Cold Creek. Value of having this Inventory, to my mind, is that this is the basis for discussions about improving services and for providing...
