Last night from 6-8pm, the City of Williams Lake held its' 1st Budget Consultation Meeting (the next one is on September 30th) where members of the public were outranked by City Staff and members of WL Council (Coun. Geoff Bourdon was absent)
After a brief PowerPoint Presentation by local City Manager (CAO) Darrell Garceau and the City Director of Finance Pat Higgins, the rest of the meeting turned into a 'coffee chat' about various City-wide concerns
It was unfortunate that so few members of the public were there however I believe the sunny weather was a factor as well as two BBQ's being hosted on the same night - one hosted by the local Catholic school as well as one hosted by the Cariboo RD in Wildwood
This morning - I took the opportunity to express my own take of last night's meeting to Mr. Garceau and he has agreed to review my comments on last night's meeting into consideration as future plans for budget meetings' are made
