2015 UBCM Annual Report, Resolution Book and Nomination Committee Report available

In the run-up to the 2015 Union of BC Municipalities Convention in Vancouver from September 21st - 25th, 2015 - UBCM has made the following available

* 2014-15 Annual Report
* 2015 Resolutions
* 2015-16 Nomination Committee Report

Those can be viewed here

With regard to the Nomination Committee Report - while the positions for President and 1st Vice-President will be acclaimed (unless nominations are made from the floor) - there are 3 people for 2nd Vice President and 2 for 3rd Vice President.

For the record - my vote will be for Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper for 2nd Vice President and Kamloops Councillor Arjun Singh for 3rd Vice President

As for Director at Large - there are 10 nominations for the available 5 positions

For the record - my votes will be for Cariboo RD Area H Director Margo Wagner, Dawson Creek Councillor Cheryl Shuman and TNRD Area 'B' Director Willow Macdonald

With the annual Resolutions - the book itself is 152 pages long and covers 166 Resolutions, many of which are likely not to receive detailed debate.  6 Resolutions from the Cariboo Regional District are on the Agenda while 1 is from Williams Lake and 2 from Quesnel.  Both 100 Mile House and Wells have not submitted any Resolutions.  Reviewing all 166 Resolutions will be on my Agenda in the next number of weeks...  Quesnel's UBCM Resolution for restoration of door to door mail service did not make the Resolution Book and my read of the rules say that Quesnel Council will not be allowed to present the Resolution on the floor

As this is my 1st UBCM Convention - I'm looking forward to renewing existing relationships and making new ones!
