Not available without an account
Thanks for the comment:
It appears that there is a problem with Quesnel's CivicWeb website
I have brought this to the attention of Quesnel's Mayor, Bob Simpson, so hopefully it'll be corrected soon
Steve
If the city mandates that a member of the public have an account, obviously trackable, just to be able to read what should be public domain information, then that seems like intimidation. One does not need a public account to sit in the gallery at a council meeting nor to buy a newspaper so why must one be administratively trackable should they wish to view the same information on line. Quite intimidating.

In reference to your last comment - the City of Quesnel DOES NOT require you to have an account to access their CivicWeb site. There has been other times when other local governments who make use of the same CivicWeb software has encountered the same issues - required login, etc - that login is for Staff only to publish the information
As far as the public goes - Agenda, Minutes, etc posted on the CivicWeb is free to access WITHOUT an account
What occurred yesterday was a glitch and not an indication of things to come ...

Why is the old mayor back on the CRD payroll via Ted Armstrong?
Anonymous at 10:26am
Thank you for your question:
Ted Armstrong is entitled to appoint anyone he wishes as his Alternate Director provided:
* the appointment is signed by 2 voters within Area A
* he/she is a Canadian citizen
* lived in BC last 6 months
* 18 years or older
* not disqualified from voting by way of provincial law
As Mary Sjostrom meets the 5 above qualifications - Director Armstrong is entitled by law to appoint her as his Alternate Director...
The same above rules apply to me as well when I get around to appointing my Alternate Director for Area D. However, my Alternate Director will be an Area D resident....
Steve
What is Armstrong thinking and why would the old mayor accept the alternate appointment given the complete voter rejection she got and that she doesn't live in area A. Completely arrogant and disrespectful on both their parts.
