Reporter Jennifer Smith hit the nail on the head by pointing out Coldstream City Hall has wasted tax dollars on legal opinions on Kalamalka and Coldstream Meadows sewer extensions and late comer buyout. It was a waste of tax payers dollars because the issue was never about whether council acted legally but rather that it acted fairly or even prudently with respect to these issues. An expensive letter from the city's solicitor does not answer this question posed by Gyula Kiss. He wanted council to account for it's decision to act as they did. As it stands we are none the wiser but a few thousand dollars poorer. How can these bureaucrats be so stupid and wasteful? Did they really think this ploy was going to cover their sorry asses? Council needs to explain why they decided to give Coldstream Meadows management a $250,000 late comers [bonus] buyout payment when they had no obligation to do so. It looks as if the whole sewer extension, which nobody along the line wanted, was put in to facilitate the building of Coldstream Meadows. Well council,why were tax payers made to support this private venture? Coldstream didn't need to finance it!
They don't answer because there is no good answer that tax payers would find acceptable.

Yes-Coldstream council have screwed up again. They will never get things right under the lack of leadership from Corner and the administrator. Throw them all out.
