KHR township holding public meeting to discuss municipal ballot questions

The Township of Killaloe-Hagarty-Richards is holding a public meeting tomorrow to get feedback on potential questions on the ballot for this year’s municipal election.

They say the township is considering passing a by-law to include two questions on the ballot.

The questions would ask residents if they are in favour of having four councillors and a mayor, a reduction in the current council size, and whether they are in favour of abolishing the ward system.

MyBarrysBayNow has inquired with the township on whether these questions would be put to voters as a referendum and when these changes would take effect if passed.

Residents who wish to comment on the proposed ballot questions can attend the public meeting at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Killaloe & Area Lions Club, or submit written comments to the township CAO.

Once public feedback has been received, Council intends to consider and approve a by-law to include the questions on the ballot at their meeting on Jan. 21.
