<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heading into the October municipal election, Huntsville Mayor Karin Terziano said she is stepping away from politics altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terziano, who has served on municipal council for three terms, was Deputy Mayor when then-Mayor Scott Aitchison r<\/a><\/span>esigned from the position<\/span><\/a> in 2019 in order to serve as Member of Parliament for Parry Sound-Muskoka.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In conversation with Doppler<\/em>, Terziano said she quickly found out there is a big difference between being the mayor of a municipality versus being a councillor. \u201cYou\u2019re just sort of on-call, all the time it seems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why she\u2019s not running again<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked why she\u2019s not running again, she said: \u201cMostly because at the end of this term I\u2019ll have served for 12 years, and I think 12 years is a pretty good number. I think there\u2019s probably people out there, new faces, some new and exciting ideas, and it\u2019s someone else\u2019s turn to lead or just to participate on council.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did she enjoy being the mayor of Huntsville?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terziano said she has enjoyed her time as mayor, because she met some incredible people along her journey. \u201cCOVID has brought out the best in the best of people and sometimes the worst in the worst of people\u2026 you get a number of complaints, but I talked to so many people who were really positive and very thankful, so you know that made all the difference in the world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet peeve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI guess I wish people would look at a glass half full instead of half empty. And I\u2019m not saying that most don\u2019t, but I think that if people, instead of complaining all the time, said, \u2018well how can I help or how can I make a change,\u2019 we\u2019d get more done at the end of the day.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said despite the negativity that goes along with the job, she reminds herself that those people do not represent all of the residents in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advice for a new mayor?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terziano advises anyone who enters the position for the very first time to be prepared. \u201cIt\u2019s sort of going to be your life for the next four years. And maybe that was partly my fault, maybe that was just how I operated. Maybe somebody else wouldn\u2019t, but I feel like it sort of takes over and you have to maybe draw a few boundaries in order to still have a life, but at the end of the day you\u2019re doing it because you want to make your community better. So, you get out of it what you put into it, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Council doesn\u2019t have the free will many think it does<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terziano said most people may not realize that council doesn\u2019t have the free will to do as much as people think they can do. \u201cThere are so many rules through the Municipal Act that ties council\u2019s hands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning decisions are tough<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sitting on the municipality\u2019s planning committee has been one of the toughest parts of the job, said Terziano. Staff will make recommendations on planning applications based on the Planning Act, and then it\u2019s up to council to decide if there are extenuating circumstances that should be taken into consideration. \u201cSometimes that causes them to go against staff\u2019s recommendation and when we end up in an\u2026 LPAT (Local Planning Appeal Tribunal) hearing because of that, it\u2019s very hard to defend it because you\u2019ve gone against your staff recommendation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terziano also said it\u2019s difficult because people tend to be upset when committee\u2019s recommendation to council is not in their favour. She has also increasingly called for committee to follow staff\u2019s recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere was a time that I thought that that was committee\u2019s role, to make the exception because staff just follow the Planning Act, but I think you have to determine what kind of exceptions you\u2019re making. If you develop an Official Plan (OP) and you hire qualified staff to enforce it and then you continually don\u2019t follow it, I don\u2019t think you\u2019re probably going to get great development,\u201d she said, adding that as a rule, most of the time the OP should be followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlights?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terziano said one of the highlights during her time as mayor has been seeing the expansion of Fairvern Nursing Home, finding a new location for the building and, after the volunteer board indicated it was a project too big for it to manage, convincing her fellow District councillors to have the District take over its management. \u201cI think the alternative for me was going to be that we could\u2019ve lost Fairvern. So, that\u2019s what I\u2019ll probably remember most about this term.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it okay for municipal representatives to endorse provincial candidates?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terziano was among 10 local municipal representatives, both current and former, who endorsed Graydon Smith in the recent provincial election. When asked if elected officials, who are representing their constituents, should endorse a provincial candidate, Terziano had this to say: \u201cI\u2019ve worked with Graydon [Smith] for a number of years and he\u2019s a good, hard-working individual. And in my mind, I knew that the Progressive Conservatives were going to win this election in the province and our community is better off with our representative going to Queen\u2019s Park in the party that governs. So, those are really the reasons why I did it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terziano was thankful for those who have been supportive, particularly as council navigates the pandemic but she noted that she still has a few months left to go \u201cand I\u2019ll be here ’til the end.”<\/p>\n\n\n

That's because I love this community. I love the wide open spaces, ancient rocks, lakes and forests. I also love the buzz of Huntsville's core and, well, the wi-fi. I'm a news and chocolate junkie. Respect integrity, talent, kindness, a good story and the taste of an organic tomatoe. I hope you like this site and don't be shy about pitching me a story.","url":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/author\/tamaradelavega\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114361\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114364"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
