Request made for public presentation of Lamont Park Plan Michelle Pinon Editor
The Town of Lamont's proposed park plan was back on the agenda for discussion during the Oct. 29 regular council meeting. New councillor Doug Pewarchuk made the request to have the park plan put on the agenda, because he said he wanted to make a motion to have a public presentation of the park plan made during the Lamont Light Up celebration on Nov. 30. Coun. Pewarchuk said he would like to see the town have a poster pres-
entation along with samples of the concept plan available to the public during the annual event. Coun. Gail Hrehorets informed coun. Pewarchuk the Light Up Committee is not a committee of council, and that the parks committee would have to make that decision. As far as Coun. Steve Sharun was concerned, Coun. Pewarchuk's previous comments during the election campaign regarding lack of public input was not true and undermined the work of six people on the committee. Coun. Pewarchuk apologized
and said that was not his intention. Council did agree to bring the request to the attention of the parks committee, and if members are agreeable, then they could approach the Light Up Committee and then report back to council with their findings. In Pewarchuk's Oct. 22 letter to the editor in the Lamont Leader he stated: "If I am elected, my first motion will be to rescind acceptance of this plan pending public input. If I am unsuccessful, I will be initiating a petition to seek its public presentation and review."
