1. MUNICIPAL NEGOTIATING COMMITTEE
Mr. Marshall summarized the developments concerning
the Museum relocation discussions to date, especially
the meeting of the negotiating committee held on
Monday, September 20th 1976.
It was clarified that the negotiating committee had
been established at a joint meeting of the Executive
Committee and the Museum Board to arrive at a financial
settlement with the Federal Government. The establishment
of the committee was later confirmed by Council.
The area of responsibility of the negotiating committee
is to negotiate a financial settlement with the Federal
Government. The committee is a committee of Council
and therefore reports to Council.
It was indicated that Norm Cafik instigated the action
on the occasion of the public presentation of the
conceptual plan. This led to the request given to
Mr. D.R. Owen to obtain figures for the cost of relocation
and the meeting of the negotiating committee with Mr. Owen
on September 20th 1976.
2. POSITION OF THE MUSEUM BOARD DURING RELOCATION
Some members expressed concern relative to the jurisdiction
of the Museum Board during the move. It was indicated that
Mr. Owen has completed his function as consultant for the
conceptual plan on behalf of the Museum Board. The activities
of Mr. D.R. Owen in obtaining facts and figures for the
re1ocationwere strictly in connection with the negotiating
committee. It was noted that whoever co-ordinates the
relocation of the Museum will undoubtedly approach the
Museum Board for its input.
It was also noted that the onus and ultimate responsibility
for the Museum lies with the Council of the Town of Pickering.
The Museum Board has been established by Council to act in
an advisory capacity to Council and also to supervise the
day to day operations of the Museum.
