It is better to do this right than to do this fast! I love sports and have spent many years as a coach and supporter in minor hockey and baseball. I have been actively involved in municipal politics since when I was first elected to Valley East Council.
I voted in favour of maintaining the bylaw at the time. After minimal opportunity for public consultation and meeting with business owners and there was no economic benefit identified for changing the bylaw. Since that initial vote I have moved the motion to hold a public referendum to allow the citizens of Sudbury to have their say through public debate and voting. I encourage all citizens to be engaged in the process and use this opportunity to voice their choice at the polls. I voted to remove the Ontario Ombudsman because the negative relationship was prohibitive to moving forward and was inhibiting function of council and staff.
At the time council brought in private oversight from a firm that is utilized more frequently than the Ontario Ombudsman across Ontario municipalities. I would reinstate the Ontario Ombudsman in the future and work to ensure an effective working relationship is maintained by all parties. I supported keeping the HCI funds and also supported the introduction of new guidelines for spending the funds.
As a councillor I always sought staff input, specifically the playground liaison and the HCI administration, for allocating the funds and heeded their advice allocating funds within my ward. As Mayor I would like to see the funds revert back to staff administration as they are in place long term and can plan for better long term planning and capital project investment.
Councillors would then make requests to support projects however staff would have final approval for funding in their individual wards. I voted to allow due process to continue and not to fast-track any plans for a new Sudbury Arena.
Tax payers should not be paying for a new arena ahead of community recreational projects that are currently slated for repair or upgrades. I fully support the construction of a new arena in the future and as Mayor would champion the project by encouraging private investment and Council support where appropriate.
I voted to approve the 2. My priority is to ensure tax payers receive value for their dollar and we need to plan for long term investments in infrastructure, programs and city services.
Although some cuts may have immediate tax savings, we have to look at the long term cost that would be cast upon the citizens of Sudbury. We have found small short term efficiencies in the budget and as Mayor I would begin the more effective process of identifying long term efficiencies that require policy and process changes. There are processes that could be used that are not currently being implemented and as Mayor I would work with Council and staff to bring about these changes.
From Jan to May of , I was an elected member of the Market Square Renewal Advisory Panel for the City of Greater Sudbury where he examined and made recommendations regarding the strategic direction of the market, market type, location, governance structure, functional program and financial plan.
The couple enjoys all the facets of living in Sudbury. They have two children and are proud grandparents of three little boys. Brian Bigger believes that Sudbury is at a crossroads. It is well-positioned for future growth, it is the center of Northern Ontario, an economic hub and the nucleus of all northern communities.
Sudbury; the centre of commerce, education, health care, the arts and culture and the best place to live in Ontario. He is pleased to get to work with council and make this vision a reality for the people of Greater Sudbury.
