There seems to be an ever increasing number of in-camera meetings. Why do our representatives think that everything concerning the rest of us must be debated in secrecy?Coldstream Council’s latest Special In-Camera meeting is declared to be pursuant to Section 90(1)(k) of the Community Charter. This Section states the following:
“90(1)(k) negotiations and related discussions respecting the proposed provision of a municipal service that are at their preliminary stages and that, in the view of the council, could reasonably be expected to harm the interests of the municipality if they were held in public;”
It is reasonable to believe that the issues to be discussed are related to Greater Vernon Services (GVS). GVS is in a state of great upheaval. Area directors (B and C) wish to withdraw from Economic Development and Parks. The City of Vernon and Coldstream want to withdraw from bulk water. The area Directors question the Governance related to GVS. The house of cards that Jack built is crumbling.
Should we not know about what is happening? Why is it a great secret? It is our future and our money with which they are playing!
