City Council has endorsed amendments to Vernon's Official Community Plan but not before a two and a half hour debate in council chambers Monday where members grilled city planner Kim Flick. This followed the first of two public meetings on the plan. Councillor Patrick Nicol said the OCP lacked vision while Barry Beardsell decried what-he-described as the lack of transportation policy. Mayor Wayne Lippert tried to rein in councillors -- telling Barry Beardsell to get off his soapbox -- in order to get through the agenda. Lippert admitted he was disappointed that city officials had so many amendments to make at this late date. A second public meeting on the OCP will be held September 8th at the Schubert Centre.
