Survey says …

David Garrow | Jan 19, 2022

After North Frontenac contracted out a survey ($40,000 at the cost of tax payers) the survey supported what ratepayers have been concerned about for years ( an overstaffed township with huge legacy costs)

With the mayor’s endorsement the payroll continues to swell adding positions that add no value to residents.

We as ratepayers now fund 32 full time staff to manage a population of 1800 people. North Frontenac. Senior staffers now require assistants to ease the heavy burdens of controlling such population numbers.

Mayor Higgins came to council years ago claiming he could preform the audit for free and identify inefficiencies. Guess it’s easier to delegate and spend tax-payers money while in a position of power. With the 2022 budget on the horizon, we the ratepayers will have to take it on the cheek once again to continually fund the inefficient performance that requires so many staffers. This is something the mayor chooses to contribute to rather than deal with.

Congratulations another audit that was a waste of money. Under the Mayor’s leadership they will not act responsibility and shed the dead weights to benefit the ratepayers.
