WARDEN'S ADDRESS
Memhers of Council, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is indeed a
gre-at honor to he elected Warden of Elgin County and I .;muld
like to pay tribute to aJ.lmembe,rs of cOllncil who participated in
the democratic process today and a speda'! thanks to those who
supported me. I would also like to thank the people of Belmont,
because if it were not fo,r them, I would not he here to-day.
I would also like to thank all you peopl~ outside of Council who
have given me moral support.
I know the task that lies before me is not an easy one, its a
long road from January to December. Howe,ver, ram prepared
to :makf the, necessary personal sacrifices, in order to execute
the oHice of Warden to the bemof Iny ability, and to the benefit
of ',all people in the County of Elgin.
As -of Jan. 1 we have entered into a County-wide Welfare
Program. unde'r the guidance of. our New Administrator, Mr.
Robert Bell, who will report directly to our New Social Servic.e
Committ~.e. This program will bea,r watching through its first
year of' operation.
We are still faced with the problem of Local Gove,nment
Re~orm, which is at present in the capable hands of the Local
GO'lernm~nt Study. Committee. I know most peoPle are reluc-
tant to chimge "nd tr,adition dies hard, however I believe t~is is
the year we should sta'rt thinkiing "We" as the miilisteJ" has
made' itqliite clea,r, that the City of Sl. Thomas must be' includ-
ed in any study.
We will also try to maintain good Labor Management rela-
tionship with aU our employe.es, and there iSo no doubt we will
find ourselves at the n.egotiating table with variouSo departments
before the years end.
We will continue ,to endeavour ,to streamline ouradminis-
tration procedures, beginning with our new central pay office,
and the,re is many other are'as where studies can be made.
We ,as a council have pmven in the past that we are capable
of handling the affail\S of this great county, and with the co-
operation of an memhe,rs of council we shall continue to serve
the people of Elgin County to best of our ability.
In closing I would like to say in my own humhle way thank
you.
