Council appoints new councillor, honours former mayor By Terry McNamee
News - Trenton – There was a sombre mood at Quinte West Council on Monday, June 15, as one council chair remained empty. A photo of the late Councillor Doug Whitney, who had served ďŹ ve terms on Council, reminded everyone of the untimely death of one of the area’s well-loved public ďŹ gures on May 26. “We lost a good friend,â€? said Mayor Jim Harrison. “We worked with him for a good many years.â€? Later in the meeting, council voted to ďŹ ll the empty seat by appointing Bob Wannamaker, who was runner-up to the ďŹ ve elected councillors in Ward 1 in the 2014 election. But the decision was not made unanimously. Councillor Sally Freeman made the motion to appoint Wannamaker, saying, “I ďŹ rmly believe the people who ran for this position should be offered it ďŹ rst.â€? She said she did not want to wait until autumn for a byelection to ďŹ ll the position. The motion was seconded by Councillor David Mc-
Cue. Councillor Don Kuntze said he preferred to wait for a by-election because, “That way, the person we get to attend with us would be a ďŹ rstplace ďŹ nisher.â€? The comment did not go over well, and Councillor Michael Kotsovos quickly pointed out that it would cost taxpayers quite a bit of money to hold it. The motion was then passed easily. The mood was considerably brighter for a presentation of a portrait painted by Kingston artist Michael Walker of former Mayor John Williams in recognition for his 11 years of service. Eben James, president and CEO of Trenton Cold Storage, presented the painting to Williams on behalf of the community. James started by thanking everyone on council for the work they do. “Collectively as a group, you have worked to make Quinte West a better place in which to live, work and play,â€? he said, noting improvements made to parks, the downtown, the Former Quinte West Mayor John Williams (left) was presented with a painting of himself created by Kingston artist Michael Walker.
