Current North Huron employee Connie Goodall was caught stalling the
progress of the Farmer’s Market. Four Steering Committee
members wanted to have a meeting to elect a chair, treasurer,
etc. An email request was sent to Connie Goodall, as she holds
the contact list for the steering committee for some reason.
Current Economic Development Head Connie Goodall apparently took it
upon herself to deny the request, without contacting any of the
Steering Committee.
Connie Goodall does not have the authority to make decisions for the
Steering Committee, nor does she have the authority to speak on
their behalf. This is a point Councillor Bernie Bailey made
brutally clear to Connie in chambers. Below are emails that
prove Connie Goodall has overstepped her authority, stalling the
Farmer’s Market progress. Below that is a video clip of
Bernie Baily explaining that Connie Goodall is not in charge, and
the steering committee needs to get organized. Since Bernie
got Connie Goodall under control, things are moving forward and a
meeting will be setup, despite Connie Goodall’s objections.
Email sent to Connie Goodall:
Several members of the Farmer’s Market
steering committee would like to have another meeting Wednesday
evening.
Could you please contact the rest of the steering committee
to see if they too wish for another meeting
