Vernon will have to wait until the new year before the issue of overpayment at Greater Vernon Services is sorted out. GVS chair says, the three chief financial officers will have to get together to work out a solution because that's not the politician's area of expertise. NORD chair Jerry Oglow says the issue affects Vernon the most. At stake, is over $700,000 dollars in fees which auditors for Vernon believe is unbalanced.Mayor Wayne Lippert says, the sooner a solutions is found the better because it could mean less of a tax hike for Vernon residents who are facing a 5 percent next year.

An outgoing Greater Vernon Services director didn't mince words at his last commission meeting Thursday. Barry Beardsell says GVS has no power and it doesn't get anything done. The Greater Vernon Services director says the committee is like a ship without a captain and a rudder. Beardsell says since the commission was changed into a committee earlier this year, they've taken no direction and haven't accomplished anything. Beardsell says GVS really needs to be streamlined to be more effective. The Mayor changed appointments earlier this year and dropped Beardsell from the board.
