Alternative Approval Process for Library

Castanet May 9-

The Regional Board has authorized Regional District of Central Okanagan staff to conduct an Alternative Approval Process on behalf of the Okanagan Regional Library District. The approval of electors is required so that the Regional District may adopt bylaws permitting the borrowing of $4.5 million on behalf of the Library District for construction of a new library administration building. At least ten per cent of the estimated 124,330 qualified electors in the Central Okanagan would have to sign and return Elector Response Forms before the deadline of July 11th, to require the Regional Board to hold a referendum to gain elector assent, before proceeding with the borrowing bylaws. Information regarding this Alternative Approval Process, the proposed bylaws, and Elector Response Forms will be advertised and available on the Regional District website (www.regionaldistrict.com), at its 1450 KLO Road office and at municipal offices in the City of Kelowna, District of Lake Country, District of Peachland and Westside District Municipality.

What a farce. Who is responsible? How much money has been spent so far? Why are there no answers-open and accountable!
