interesting to see that the City of Williams Lake didn't post its minutes from the last Council meeting on the Agenda, instead defaulting to "That the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council held September 17, 2019 be adopted as circulated." Who were they 'circulated' to and was there something in there that they didn't want anyone reading? Never saw that before so makes one wonder …. what's going on??? Could it be the massive conflict of interest that occurred in one of the votes thinly disguised as "concern" for low income people by one of the biggest landlords in town? 35 ultra modern market-value rental units would be quite a hit to a any business. No one has addressed THAT elephant in the room since the lobbying started.
Thank you for your comments...
On the question of WL Council Meeting Minutes -- it does sometimes happen that minutes are not ready before the Agenda is required to be publicly published on the Friday afternoon before the Council meeting but the link to the actual minutes are uploaded either the following Monday or Tuesday...
As for the issue around the low income building on 1st Avenue in Williams Lake and Councillor Scott Nelson's stance on the subject (and ultimately WL City Council's stance) -- you'll have to take that up with them...
Hope this helps!

Yes, Steve, but if they were available to be previously "circulated" (to Council members, I assume) as stated in the Agenda, why were they not uploaded to the City's website? On the police commission report, it says "back-up to follow." With no such statement on the minutes, seems like there is no intention to provide the minutes to the public; or to provide those minutes after the public has moved on.
Looks like another Williams Lake city council coverup exposed... amateur hour at its finest.

In regards to the wording "That the minutes be adopted as circulated"... that is the traditional words to the Motion to adopt previous meeting minutes however minutes are usually not forwarded ahead of a published Meeting Agenda... Council Members see the previous meeting minutes at the same time that the public does..
As for the Police Commission report and "Backup to follow" - City Staff are required to follow the terms of the WL Council Procedure Bylaw which stipulates that a meeting agenda *IS* to be published by end of business Friday prior to the meeting of Council or Committee of Whole Council on Tuesday. No intention to hide anything but simply Staff ran out of time to publish the information before the deadline. I would expect that the information will be published on Monday or at the latest on Tuesday -- be patient, the information will be published I am sure....
