Member of the Ree Commission — worked to keep fees low and promote programs like Dollar Tuesday, resulting in dramatic increase in participation. CIRCUMSTANCES: ic. Under what conditions was this achieved? ANSWER: Ability to bring together opposing factions. Accomplished task despite obstacles from some members of senior staff, making it difficult for Ernie co obtain information and records. For example: Withholding important information pertaining to legal fees District had to pay for erroneous fegal advice, with Councillors Jim Cuthbert and Paul Turner — the man who would be Mayor — voting in favor of denying Ernie access to vital information. Preventing i important staff reparts from reaching Council. Holding up important draft resolutions through the standing committce process and preventing them from being debated by Council. Councillor Paul Turner, the man who now wants to be Mayor, at one paint openly boasted that “Alderman Crist had... motions on our paper that he eventually ditched when we changed our system”. Routine violations of democratic procedure which changed from one meeting to the next. QUALITY: ie. The calibre of work, motions or material submitred. ANSWER: Since Ernie was first elected to District Council in 1979, he has subtnitted resolutions that have become milestones, such as his resolution to the UBCM on Waste Management and Recycling plus the Municipalities and the Constitution resolution submitted co the FCM. This resolution became the theme of the MAIN address by Liberal Leader Jean Chretien and has become the guide for Municipal-Federal Relations for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. CONCLUSION: This person should receive an A for effore and A for performance. Unfortunately Ernie has a tendency to show his annoyance when citizens get che runaround, as was the case when residents living adjacent to Mac's on Capilano and Montroyal complained forever abour on-going hooliganism near Mac's BEFORE SOMETHING WAS FINALLY DONE ABOUT IT.
