Mandate/General Statement

Midland Town Council undertook the sale of the MPUC (Town's Hydro Distribution Company) in 2017.   As a condition of the sale, Council was determined to create a community liaison committee for the purpose of interfacing with the new company to ensure that there was an appropriate vehicle for the exchange of information.  

Council's intentions are to develop a positive working relationship with the new operator; to ensure the high standards of hydro electric distribution services in the Town of Midland are maintained; and the working relationship with the community in the broadest sense remain effective and responsive.

Authority

The Committee has been established pursuant to section 6.4 of a Share Purchase Agreement entered into by Newmarket - Tay Power Distribution (“NT Power") and Midland on May 31, 2017.

The foundation of this community-based funding program is to improve the well-being and quality of life of the citizens of Midland.  Financial assistance offered through this program is directed toward not-for-profit community-based organizations as well as individuals providing a wide range of programs and services across the community.

The sole purpose of the Council Community Grant Committee (“Committee”) is to review Community Grant Program applications and recommend recipients to Council.

All Communities (Beausoleil First Nation, Town of Midland, Town of Penetanguishene, Township of Tay, and Township of Tiny) have adopted the Culture Alliance Terms of Reference, released $10,000 to be financially managed by the Town of Penetanguishene and appointed a municipal representative to the Culture Alliance Committee.

The Huronia Airport Commission meets monthly on the fourth Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Huronia Airport Administration Building. Agendas are circulated one week in advance of the meeting. 

The establishment of the Huronia Airport Commission was confirmed by special legislation of the Province of Ontario, entitled Huronia Airport Commission Act, 1996. By-law 2000-68 was passed on September 25, 2000 and provided for a Joint Agreement with the Township of Tiny, the Town of Penetanguishene and the Town of Midland for the control and management of the Huronia Airport (an air harbour located in the Township of Tiny). While the three municipalities are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Airport, control and management has been entrusted to the Huronia Airport Commission through the Agreement. 

Members are encouraged to have financial and/or business knowledge. Knowledge of aviation would be considered an asset. 

The Huronia Airport Commission is comprised of seven commissioners. Three represent the Town of Midland, with one being a member of Council and the remaining two members appointed by Council for a duration consistent with the appointing Council’s term of office. 

The Municipal Elections Act requires a municipal Council, before October 1st in an election year, to establish a compliance audit committee for the purposes of Section 88.33 of the Act relative to a possible contravention of the Act's election campaign finance provisions.

The Joint Election Compliance Audit Committee reviews applications for compliance audits of the election campaign finances of candidates and registered third-party advertisers and considers report(s) from the Clerk on apparent contraventions of contribution limits.​
