I think the job of Council is difficult one .When faced with
a potentially controversial decision they should strive to get as much good
information and advice as possible especially when it comes to the use of and
investment in city owned properties. The present Council has been functioning
without the benefit of the advice of the Vernon Land Use Advisory Committee.
This was an in camera committee composed
of city staff, informed citizens and a Councillor that would examine in detail the potential uses of city owned
properties and at the request Council offer recommendations. Unfortunately the
present Council did away with this committee early in their term. Thus they
have made many important land use decisions without this committee’s unbiased
advice. Too bad for Vernon.. Cheers
