Although this is not in the public realm (ie - media hasn't reported on this yet) but in the 2009 Audited Financial Statements for the City of Williams Lake, the Auditors' note that in the last quarter of 2009, the City of Williams Lake was named as a defendant in a Statement of Claim regarding the design and construction of a retaining wall. The claim amount is undetermined at this time
Like the Cariboo Regional District, the City of Williams Lake should as soon as reasonably possible must notify its' residents that it is facing a lawsuit and the general reasons why.
Not to do sure promotes reactive communications and residents are entitled to proactive and straight-forward communications especially on sensitive matters like emergencies and lawsuits where residents' must have information provided to them in a timely matter. Again - that is the hallmark of serving the public and not Council serving itself and its' needs
