DELEGATION
Mr. Howard Moscoe, Association of Municipalities of Ontario
re: AMO's Fees for 1992
Mr. Moscoe, Vice-President of The Association of Municipalities of Ontario
("AMO") asked Council to reconsider its position not to pay more than the
1991 AMO fee, since this will result in cancellation of Council's 1992
membership. He noted that, due to tough economic conditions, municipalities
must pull together. He outlined the benefits of membership within AMO which
he characterized as being reorganized, s i nee the executive director has
recently been replaced, 90% of the staff is new and they have relocated to
new headquarters as well. Policies and procedures within AMO have been
completely revamped and they are attempting to define a new relationship
with municipalities. He stated that the quality of publications has
improved dramatically. Councils are utilizing AMO as the venue to discuss
matters with the Pro vi nee such as disentanglement, conflict of interest,
licensing reform and cost of recoveries. AMO has developed a new
corporation, being the Local Authority Services, to apply direct savings for
bulk purchases to municipalities.
