North Okanagan communities that use Vernon's Safe Communities Unit on a contract basis, could be faced with an extra 7 percent fee. Mayor Wayne Lippert says the city needs to cover costs in deals for a rural coordinator with Coldstream, Lumby, Armstrong, Enderby and Spallumcheen. He says so far it's been straight forward as far as the employee going out, but the cost of the manager and the backup support hasn't been covered so that's idea of the the 7 percent. Lippert doesn't expect the added fee to be a deal- breaker because he says the program has proven itself, and works well.
