The Rural Affairs Transition Committee was established by a Transition Board to provide advice and recommendations on transition matters relating to the rural and farming interests of the "New" City of Kingston. The Committee consisted of nine (9) individuals representing the ruaral area of the Townships of Kingston and Pittsburgh, with input from the Frrontenac Federation of Agriculture. It reported, through its Chair, to the Transition Board, on a "need to know" basis, while the on-going administrative reporting was through the "New" City's" Interim Chief Administrative Officer. The Committee's duties, in cooperation with City staff, included identifying those rural issues that had to be dealt with by the Transiiton Board during the months leading up to 1 January 1998, plus those that could be left to the new council to deal with after 1 January 1998. Special attention was also to be given the Frontenac Federation of Agriculture and those matters that acted upon as imopedimnets to the rural business community and lifestyle. Further duties consisted of developing an effective communication programme to asist the Transition Board with communicating its work and activities to the rural regions of the "New City; identifying ways of promoting to the urban area, a better understanding of the rural community and its issues, as part of the trnasitioning process; and examining linkages with the new Township of South Frontenac, and the former municipalities in the Leeds and Grenville United Counties.
