It's a new year but the same issues are already cropping up. North Okanagan Regional District board members are expected to debate a motion Wednesday calling for an end to the Greater Vernon parks and recreation function. The motion comes from BX-Silver Star director Mike Macnabb who says it needs to be taken apart and put back together in a better format. MacNabb says it no longer works. Macnabb says governance is a ``big issue'' for Coldstream and electoral areas B and C. He says they don't want to be in a ``drag along position'' where the City of Vernon has the ultimate say. Macnabb hoping his motion passes and talks begin soon to break up the service. He says only the City of Vernon believes a few ``tweaks'' to contracts will resolve matters. Macnabb says that is ``not close to being a reality.'' The director says he would love to see a regional parks service. He says even the City of Vernon has agreed to that as a possibility. Macnabb is calling for an end to the current parks function by the end of 2011.
