The administration department coordinates municipal activities and operations so that they proceed in an integrated fashion.  It provides policy advice and recommendations to council and ensures that decisions made by council are carried out in a timely and effective manner.   

Each municipal department has a manager and these managers (6) report to the CAO.  The CAO works closely with this team to plan and review issues and activities and determine how they will impact the municipality. 

Special municipal projects are also undertaken or are the responsibility of the administration department.  These include water and sewer projects, economic development activities and other projects as mandated by council or the CAO. 

The administration department consists of three people: 

            Chief Administrative Officer – Howard F. Smith

            Assistant Administrator/Deputy Clerk – Angela Rutley

            Administrative Assistant/Receptionist – Michelle McDonell
