Each week will feature a member of either the Huntsville or Lake of Bays Council. As we enter an election year, this is your opportunity to get a better picture of your elected politicians. Lake of Bays Mayor Bob Young kicks off the series. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Let us fast forward to December<strong> 2022<\/strong>. The District Council has just passed a resolution to reduce its size to 15, with 14 Councillors and one Chair (a reduction of seven Councillors).  This is a significant change from the past, the first in close to 40 years \u2013 as can be seen in the table below.<\/p>\n<p>DISTRICT COUNCIL COMPOSITION<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"161\">MUNICIPALITY<\/td>\n<td width=\"151\">NEW COUNCILLORS<\/td>\n<td width=\"154\">OLD COUNCILLORS<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"161\">Huntsville<\/td>\n<td width=\"151\">3<\/td>\n<td width=\"154\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"161\">Bracebridge<\/td>\n<td width=\"151\">2<\/td>\n<td width=\"154\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"161\">Gravenhurst<\/td>\n<td width=\"151\">2<\/td>\n<td width=\"154\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"161\">Muskoka Lakes<\/td>\n<td width=\"151\">3<\/td>\n<td width=\"154\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"161\">Georgian Bay<\/td>\n<td width=\"151\">2<\/td>\n<td width=\"154\">3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"161\">Lake of Bays<\/td>\n<td width=\"151\">2<\/td>\n<td width=\"154\">3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"161\">District Chair<\/td>\n<td width=\"151\">1<\/td>\n<td width=\"154\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"161\">TOTAL<\/td>\n<td width=\"151\">15<\/td>\n<td width=\"154\">23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This idea is the culmination of work commenced in October 2017 by the previous Council.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>This corrects a major discrepancy whereby seasonal residents were only counted as half-persons. It also reduces the size of an unwieldly Council where achieving consensus was almost impossible because of the inertia of size. What has been accomplished is a redistribution of Council seats to represent the changes in the population mix since Muskoka was formed. One anticipates the new Council to be much nimbler and also, very significantly, the Council membership is now equally divided between Town and Township Councillors \u2014 true equal representation. However, it now puts an immense responsibility upon the District Chair as a potential tie-breaker between the two groups. It is anticipated that with equal representation will come increased respect for each other and a compelling reason to seek compromise.<\/p>\n<p>With the reduced number of Councillors, the District has had to rethink the way it does business as there are fewer people to populate the many committees. This current committee system has serious flaws, but most specifically because so much debate and decision making is made by only six Councillors. Recommendations made here are usually rubber stamped by Council with no additional debate. The new revised method of conducting the business of the District will be to reduce the many routine items which are brought before committee or Council and direct them directly to staff. Then there will be two major meetings per month \u2014 a committee of the whole (COW) where matters can be debated more fully with the relaxed rules of committee and a formal Council meeting where all final decisions are made. This will be more efficient for all. While there will be direct cost savings, these are small compared to the efficiencies both for the Councillors and the staff, and, of course, the primary benefit \u2014 to ensure that the WHOLE population of Muskoka is appropriately represented at the District of Muskoka.<\/p>\n<p>Well, unfortunately, we are not in December 2022. Is all of the above some form of political fiction? Is equal representation, council size reduction, District business management change all a pipe dream? I truly hope not. But to achieve change there has to be a willingness to risk change and that has been sorely lacking on behalf of the Towns of Muskoka, in my opinion, over the last seven years I have been involved. It is far too easy to make like an ostrich and stick your head in the sand and pray the nasty noises go away. This has been the norm for 40-plus years and it must stop. It will be up to the next Council to affect real change \u2014 but more importantly it will be up to the public to elect representatives to Council who have the balls for change. Exercise your power \u2014 run for office, vote and vote wisely.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you do what you\u2019ve always done, you\u2019ll get what you always got.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>To read more in this 2018 series of commentaries from municipal politicians, click <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/?s=%222018+series+of+commentaries+from+municipal+politicians%22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/span>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-42220\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/01\/Mayor-Young-Headshot_2014.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"186\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/01\/Mayor-Young-Headshot_2014-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/01\/Mayor-Young-Headshot_2014.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 186px) 100vw, 186px\" \/><\/em>Bob Young<br \/>\nMayor, Township of Lake of Bays<\/p>\n<p><em>Bob Young is Mayor of the Township of Lake of Bays.
