Once again, conspicuous by it's absence, is the Police Commission report, as appears to be the pattern since comments in December about the grammatical and spelling errors in the November commission report. Surely with the amount we pay them, Inspector Pelley could make sure it's available to the paying public at the expected time for publication instead of it making it look like another RCMP coverup.

To clarify - if the background item is not ready - the City of Williams Lake's Procedure By-law requires that City Staff *must* publish the Agenda before 4:30pm on the Friday prior to the meeting (Council or Committee of the Whole) on the following Tuesday

Fine that the release of the reports is delayed, but the official reports don't appear to be available to the public if they're not included at the time of publication of the agenda. That's the problem. All we ever hear are tidbits in the local media.

Looks like R.C.M.P. and City Council are both exploiting that loophole in this case...Miss the deadline for publication and Insp.Pelley avoids public scrutiny from those who do not drink the Police Kool Aid. Convenient.
