The Village of Lumby has filled a senior vacancy. Tom Kadla will take up the duties of chief administrative officer May 30. “We are very excited,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “Mr. Kadla is very sharp. He started in garbage collection and has worked his way up in local government.” Kadla is currently the chief administrator of Cache Creek and prior to that, he held several senior positions in Prince George. He has a certificate with the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of B.C. and a diploma in local government administration. “He has a reputation for being a doer,” said Acton. There was a need for a new administrator after Frank Kosa resigned Feb. 11 after 10 years with the village.
Council interviewed five individuals for the position. According to Acton, the administrator helps sets the tone for village operations. “Politicians come and go but the administrator is the one who stays focused on vision,” he said, “It’s great to get someone in there with real drive.”

this mayor must be a strange dude-he got "excited" over the hiring of an administrator. Are things so boring in Lumby,that such an event is "exciting"
Just to set the record straight. Mr.Frank Kosa - former Village Administrator submitted his resignation on January 17th 2011 - Mr.Kosa's last day of employment was on February 11th 2011.
Also on January 17th there were 5 of us in the Gallery and Area D Director Fairbairn made a presentation to Council stating that Area D both for and AGAINST wanted a voice on the prison matter. Council did not record Director Fairbairn's presentation in the Minutes - it states:
Delegations: There were no delegations.
On February 7th Mayor Acton was on CBC radio stating he had support of Area D.
Do you think CBC made the recording 22 days before Mayor Acton heard in Council that Area D did not support his prison idea?
Director Fairbairn said Area D was divided on the issue. Did that mean the Mayor had the support of area D? And people wonder why the residents in Lumby are angry with the Mayor.
If I hadn't been there you wouldn't know that Area D Director made a presentation and you wouldn't know that Mr.Kosa resigned on January 17 2011.
