WHEREAS it is quite evident that there are considerable and significant differences of opinions and points of view amongst the members of the Temagami Council; AND WHEREAS Council is currently quite polarized and as a result is being seen by our constituents as being ineffective, causing tensions to escalate and has affected the work environment; AND WHEREAS this polarization has now impacted the Community causing concerns to be raised by Community Partners and resulting in our Town receiving a number of letters of concern and resulting in a need to determine if an Integrity Commissioner is needed to deal with one of the complaints; AND WHEREAS Council is having issues selecting the replacement of one vacant Councillor seat and by approving a random selection process causing a situation where one of the Polarized sides will enhance their agenda and the real issues will be put aside and allowed to continue and become even more apparent in the future; AND WHEREA the issues involve the lack of Communication, lack of trust, lack of focus and lack of respect; AND WHEREAS Council is in the process of hiring a new Leader called a Treasurer/Administrator and in addition to this, there is a definite need for someone to come in and help Council lay a foundation for a more effective environment that is outcome focused and will deal with the diverse views and provide a path forward for our new Leader and new Council that is to be elected this Fall; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Municipality of Temagami retain the services of Ironside Consulting to come to Temagami and consult with Council, staff and key Community partners to perform a third party review and provide Council some direction that will assist Council during their remaining months and to lay a foundation for our new Treasurer/Administrator and for the new Council to be elected in October to move forward in a more productive manner.
