RDNO Still Looking for New CAO

The search for a new CAO at the North Okanagan Regional District does have some urgency to it. Even though the wheels of government move slowly you do need someone in the driver’s seat who knows what’s what. Believe it or not the budget process at the RDNO for next year is just over the horizon and ideally the new CAO would need a few months to get the lay of the land before the new crop of directors take their seats at the table. The irony of the timing of these changes could mean that the new CAO could have to deal with a wholly different Board than from who hired him or her. This could be a good or a bad thing. We will see. Such are the vagaries of our democratic system. Cheers, Shawn Lee a Vernon Taxpayer
