SH
(van }

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, Alderman Laking

stated he felt that when Directors were municipally appointed, Councils
had a better idea of what the Regional District was doing, and that re-
instating this practice would provide a greater opportunity for municipal
participation in the G.V.R.D.3; however, Alderman Keryluk stated he felt
the situation could be improved by holding meetings in the evening so
that the public could have access to them. Alderman Ranger stated he
was given the impression that some Directors do not reflect the opinions
of their Councils, and for this reason he favoured the representatives
being appointed by Councils. Alderman Traboulay stated he would support
the motion because the G.V.R.D. is, in fact, a Federation of elected
officials, and Alderman Mabbett indicated he also concurred with the
motion; however, he pointed out that the timing of the meetings at the
present time limits the number of Council representatives that can
attend.
