Administration's response to CRPA's request to present the resolutions arising from the Town Hall meeting is puzzling.
"Given that the resolutions to which you refer are directly related to the dismissal of the Fire Chief, we are not able to grant your request to appear as a delegation. Personnel issues are reserved for In-Camera meetings of Council."
No question, their meeting was in-camera and we understand that they cannot discuss it in public. Our resolutions were passed at an open meeting and the president was only going to pass them on to Council.
Council had three options. They could have received and filed them, they could have dealt with them in camera or they could have ignored them as per usual. Nevertheless, hearing the presentation would not have broken confidentiality. This was just another poor decision by Administration just like the refusal of my request to have the Auditor present for questioning him regarding the budgetary process.
Open and responsive Council we do not have in Coldstream. Administration is not working for the majority of taxpayers. Do they forget who is paying their wages?
