St Marys Association for Responsible Town Government

The new ratepayers association of St Marys Ontario will be presenting their petition of about 1200 names at the council meeting this evening. They will also be giving a presentation why they felt the need to form a ratepayers association; outline their financial assessment of how St Marys Council has done; and summarize the true costs of the Pyramid Recreation Centre.

In addition they will be recommending Council hires a professional project manager; develop a business plan for operating the facilities; and request Council provide an open public meeting to discuss why they went forward, why they felt they did not have any obligation to respond to ratepayer criticisms and how future municipal projects can avoid the criticisms leveled at them for their handling of this project.
