DEPUTATIONS CONTINUED: (d) 8:05 p.m. Chief Superintendent Bill Hutton, OPP spoke to Council regarding the recent restructuring and reorganization of District 7. In order to meet social contract provisions, necessitated a need to downsize and modify detachments resulting in the creation of 6 regions as opposed to 16 districts, realizing a cost saving of approximately 2.1 million. Chief Superintendent Hutton's office will be relocated to Orillia. However, they ensure that front-line servicing delivery will be enhanced with more time available within the community, increased visibility and will be able to provide a proactive enforcement and prevention work force. e wi th respect to the communi ty policing aspect, they propose that 4 officers will be assigned to this project, with 1 designated as "Team Leader". This approach will provide 160 man hours per week as opposed to the current 40. Their review of the community policing projects has shown that the 1 officer is doing 40%-60% of the calls in the area and the public are more inclined to defer their situations (minor) to the local Community Police Officer. Unfortunately, this 1 person cannot maintain this workload. The Oro-Medonte geographies are rather unique in that the zone/patrol areas are served in part by the orillia, Barrie, Wasaga Beach and Midland detachments. e Chief Superintendent Hutton assured Council and the public, including members of the Oro Community pOlicing Committee who were also in attendance, that this new approach should not have any negative impacts and that their goal was to better serve the residents. He assured open communication and partnerships with the local Committee to make the new concept workable and beneficial to all. (e) 8:30 p.m. Mr. Fred Haughton, P. W .
