Kissfm: Mayor Wayne Lippert says the charges are one of the main reasons the city is having to consider a five percent tax increase next year. "What I understand from staff, using the Regional District policy, the City of Vernon should be getting an extra $716 000, approximately, that it has not been receiving."Lippert says the issue will be discussed at this week's Greater Vernon Services meeting.
Mor. Star : But for Vernon to succeed in addressing the matter, it needs the support of another jurisdiction during a weighted vote (based on population).But Gary Corner, Coldstream mayor and GVSC chairman, is not ready to take a stand yet.“I haven’t seen all of the figures on it so I really can’t comment,”Cliff Kanester, BX-Swan Lake director, denies NORD has been underpaying the city.“They’ve sent us a bill and I think it’s ridiculous,” he said. “It was agreed that they would use the regional district’s overhead (financial calculations).”
