A Woodstock City Councillor wants to sever one of Woodstock's ties to the County. Paul Plant has tabled a motion that will come forward at the city's next council meeting. The motion calls for a report on what would be involved for the city to take control of planning administration. Right now, County staff prepare reports on zone changes, site plan approvals, subdivision planning and more. Plant explains why he wants to break free from the County's Planning. "We have had a number of occasions where what the County has done has been at odds with what we perceive to be in the best long term interests of the city. This is nothing against County staff, but, it's very hard for County staff, who are employed by the County, and working for the City of Woodstock, to go and say 'County, you're full of it', on a certain issue". To motion is sure to raise eyebrows across Reeve St. at the County Admin Building. Plant also believes the city could stand to save some money, as a secondary benefit. "It's an issue of accountability and standing up for our best interests and a secondary benefit might be less financial costs to the taxpayers of Woodstock." The motion calls for a report on an exit strategy for the city by their June 6th meeting.
