lmtimes.ca • Last Mountain Times • Monday, May 22, 2023 7 During discussions around a new campground development that had taken several years to get to a decision, Councilor Howard Arndt, who had not been in support of the development, cautioned Strong’s involvement in discussions. Strong has maintained that he was not gaining anything from participating in development discussions and that he ran on a development platform. At Tuesday’s meeting, when Council went into closed session to decide on the matter, they deliberated for 45 minutes. When they returned, Councilor Arndt made a motion that the RM had determined the ethics complaint was substantiated because “...we could it was in a conflict of interest with section 143 of the Municipalities Act regarding pecuniary interest. The council will reprimand Strong and require him to attend conflict of interest training within 90 days. Council voted unanimously in favour of the motion. LMT asked Arndt about the motion. He said, “Because it was in-camera I can’t say a whole lot. Other than we went through the complaint, we went through the requirement in the Act and determined that we felt that the ethics complaint was appropriate and substantiated based on the requirements under the Act. In fact, we were of the opinion he was in a conflict of interest.” Arndt said, when asked about how a person can be in a pecuniary conflict of interest.“He voted on the approval of another campground and he shouldn’t have done that..Simply what it is, he, for his own purposes, he could be the deciding have gone the whole nine yards and asked him to resign... CONFLICT OF INTEREST - CONTINUES FROM PAGE 1 vote that prevents that campground from going forward. Which then benefits him.” Arndt said council didn’t seek legal advice on the matter. “Its straight forward and simple when you read the act. Because it simply says if you are a controlling interest and you do something that “may,” it doesn’t say “will” or “has.” It says “may either affect you positively or negatively,” you are in a conflict of interest..But you don’t even have to have done it. The fact is that you participated in it. You should’ve stepped away from it. Also if you heard the ultimate decision was that we had determined that councillor Strong will have to take training which we will set up…we could have gone the whole nine yards and asked him to resign, if not, we could choose then to take him to court. We chose not to go that route.” Arnd’t wouldn’t comment on whether other councillors wanted to go that route. When asked about the decision, Councilor Strong said, “I don’t agree that they made a proper decision. I had nothing to gain from it. Period… I possibly invited more competition for myself even by doing it. I was following my moral compass as I ran on a platform of responsible development. The development looks responsible for the RM. We are going to create more commercial tax dollars for the RM.” When asked if he would abide by the council’s decision, he said he would appeal. Accessibility Project Why the ramp? As some of you know, in our community here in Wynyard, our church building is undergoing some renovations to put in a wheelchair ramp. BY TIM FALK MINISTERIAL MESSAGES May 16, 2023 You may have seen our fundraising through a Facebook online auction, or maybe you were at the steak fry in Jansen, where we were able to raise more money for our ramp. First of all, we want to thank everyone who has participated and given a donation of their time or money towards this ramp project. We are thankful, and we are excited to have a building that is accessible to everyone. Now, besides it just making sense that we should have a building that is accessible to everyone, the reasoning behind it goes further than simply getting with the times and putting in a ramp because it is the right thing to do. It is part of our DNA, part of who we are as Jesus' followers. When we think about Jesus’ life on earth, He was the type of person who reached out to the people society overlooked. He was the type of person who reached out to those who were forgotten. He was the type of person who noticed those people who other people chose to look away from in society. I’m not saying that someone’s ability to use stairs is what makes them welcome in our gathering or not. What I am saying is just the opposite. We are making it our goal and our mission to open up these doors to anyone who wants to participate in any of our events. We also recognize that our building is used for more than just Sunday morning services, youth nights, Bible studies, or even our Saturday morning coffee times. We also use the building for things like community playrooms, music festivals, graduations, birthday parties, funerals and a wide variety of other events in our community where a larger space is needed. We want our building to represent God’s heart for all people. God loves everyone, and He wants everyone to be welcomed into His community. 208 1 st Ave E., Watrous, SK • 306-946-3336 HIRING ALL POSITIONS REQUIRED IMMEDIATELY SERVICE WRITER Full-Time Permanent Position Looking for a customer focused individual who is detail-oriented and is capable with computers.
