The committee, which has over 55 members, is concerned that counciliors cannot adequately repreâ€" sent the numerous and diverse population found in their wards. Currently, excluding the mayor, there are five counâ€" cillors on the Waterloo city 4830 + tz -fi&"m‘ aken council, each representing a ward. The committee, through a detailed study, determined that Waterloo councillors represent a large number of people when compared with councillors from neighâ€" bouring cities. The report indicated that, on average, a Waterloo councillor represents 20,460 people compared with a Guelph councilior who repâ€" resents 8,894. Not everyone at the meeting was in support of the committee‘s assertions. s sURPW® Fred Dobbs, the city clerk, believes the number of _ councillors â€" should remain at five. Dobbs believes other modifications could adeâ€" quately decrease councilâ€" lors‘ workloads, such as havâ€" ing them serve on fewer committees. Another delegate at the meeting, Don Nightingale, believes councilliors are overworked and underpaid. Nightingale calculated that municipal counciliors earn only $13.84 an hour. _ However, Nightingale did not support increasing the number of councillors. â€"Benton Leong Voter support committee Prof. Robert Williams from the University of Waterloo‘s political science department shared the opinion of the Voter Support committee, and advocated an increased number of councillors and wards. Instead, he advocated having council positions be considered fullâ€"time jobs and be compensated more generously "to attract the best." Voter Support committee member Benton Leong and Robert Fleming were also present to endorse the idea of the council size increasâ€" ing to seven or eight memâ€" bers, representing an identiâ€" cal number of wards. Leong pointed out that in 1948, the population of Waterloo was 12,000, but those citizens elected eight councillors. Now that Waterloo‘s popâ€" ulation is over 100,000, the number of councilliors has decreased to five. Leong said, "It‘s hard to imagine the complexity of the issues facing councillors hasn‘t increased since then. "There has to be a recogâ€" nition that the city has grown and will continue to grow," _ Leong also raised the issue of council diversity within such a small group. No minorities or women are currently on the council, prompting him to ask, "Is this a fair representation of all the people who live here in Waterlo02" research July 18 Council will discuss the results of further staff
