Moved by Burton, seconded by Johnson
Be it resolved that the Corporation of the Township of Oro
endorses the following resolution of the Ontario Good

funding:
Whereas the benefits of a safe road system in good condition
are obvious to economic nd industrial development; and
Whereas tourism is an industry in Ontario that cannot be
supported by the present road network; and
Whereas the Provincial Government has failed to recognize
the pressing need to provide even the minimum level of
resources required to keep Ontario's road system safe and
economical; and
Whereas to budget for no increase is to place in jeopardy
a significant investment of public funds in municipal
infrastructure; and
Whereas the 1989 Provincial transfer payments are funding
municipal programs only where they fit Provincial priorities;
Therefore be it resolved that the Ontario Good Roads
Association is determined to convince the Provincial Government
of the need to more highly prioritize the municipal road
system as a recipient of Provincial funding; and
Further be it resolved that the Treasurer of Ontario immediately
reverse his decision not to increase municipal road funding

to provide a safe and economical road system by increasing
municipal road funding. Carried.
