Stittstville News, May 13, 2010 - When things don't mix (click to see original article)
In the April 29th Stittsville News, city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Glenn Brooks states there are 13 left of a 17 member steering committee for the Richmond Community Design Plan (CDP). Well, some remember a starting group of 20 or 21 and the February and March minutes reflect only 10 attending. There were only 7 in attendance at the May 5th meeting. This decline in membership is due to frustration.
The May 5th meeting saw one reason why members are losing interest. Chair David George wanted to argue with myself and Doug Arnold over the merits of tertiary treatment and who should invite a 'bid' by a tertiary treatment provider. Clearly the onus is on either the city or the proponent Mattamy if this is a true CDP, not a proponent driven environmental assessment process. It all goes back to the problem of mixing a CDP, the Mattamy environmental assessment and developer driven issues. They do not mix.
