The move to a 3 p.m. meeting time without public consultation is still not sitting well with one Peachland councillor.
Terry Condon made his thoughts known again at council香蕉视频直播檚 May 20 meeting.
香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 have any particular strong objection to the change,香蕉视频直播 he added. 香蕉视频直播淲hat disappoints me about the way this has come before us is that I don香蕉视频直播檛 see any kind of public consultation.香蕉视频直播
Condon said the move seems to be with a minimal level of cost benefit analysis for the convenience of council.
香蕉视频直播淭he people that are potentially most affected香蕉视频直播攐ur residents and the people that we香蕉视频直播檙e supposed to serve香蕉视频直播攁nd yet we haven香蕉视频直播檛 asked their opinion about this. I think it was an omission.
Condon also spoke his mind on the issue at council香蕉视频直播檚 May 9 meeting.
香蕉视频直播淭he shift to the 3 p.m. start is intended to improve internal efficiency, reduce staff overtime costs, and align with the consultant and third party availability during standard business hours,香蕉视频直播 Jennifer Sawatzky, director of corporate services, told council at that meeting.
Public notice of the change was provided.
Regular council meetings generally start at 6 p.m. every second Tuesday. However, council also holds Committee of the Whole, and special meetings earlier on those Tuesdays.
The new schedule is a pilot program running until the end of 2025, giving the district time to assess its effectiveness before making it permanent.
Council voted in favour of the change with Condon opposed.
