MovedCouncillor ThompsonSecondedCouncillor Bondy"Whereas costs continue to rise across the municipality faster than the ability of taxpayers to shoulder the burden.
And whereas Council should always be looking for ways to trim tax increases.
Therefore, be it resolved that Chatham-Kent administration draft a report outlining the cost savings of moving Council Meetings to regular business hours and that that report return to the next Council."Yes (10)Councillor Bondy, Councillor Ceccacci, Councillor Crew, Councillor Hall, Councillor McGrail, Councillor C.
