Reading the Williams Lake Tribune this afternoon, I saw a comment around providing Williams Lake Council with dinner or a snack at its' new meeting time of 6:00pm.
I'd like to point out, at present, the following meetings is where a dinner or snack is provided to elected officials:
i) All Committee of the Whole Meetings' (where a meeting (either In-Camera or Budget) starts early and prior to the usual meet time of 6:30pm)
ii) All Regular Central Cariboo / City of Williams Lake Joint Committee Meetings'
Should WL Council decide that taxpayers' should provide their elected officials with dinner prior to or at the new Council meeting time of 6:00pm, then that would be another sign (in my opinion) that WL Council cares only about itself and not of the people it claims to care about.
While I'm at it, the CRD Chair (Area 'G' Director Al Richmond) has declared that the CRD Board will not attend the annual FCM (Federation of Canadian Municipalities) AGM being held in Toronto on May 28-31, 2010 due to economic circumstances here in the Cariboo-Chilcotin
My question is - why isn't Williams Lake Council doing the same on attendance at the FCM conference as the Cariboo Regional District? It's apparent that the CRD Board cares about its' taxpayers. Why doesn't Williams Lake City Council?
