•After a discussion about Coun. Wes Graham’s vote about CBT grant allotments reported in last week’s Creston Valley Advance, council agreed that any councillor representing the town at RDCK meetings should follow town council’s direction unless compelling information to do otherwise comes forward. That councillor, it was agreed, should immediately report to council about his or her change in position.  Graham voted against a resolution at the RDCK after making a motion to support it at the previous town council meeting. He told the Advance that his vote “was an oversight”. Graham was acting as the alternate director in the absence of Mayor Ron Toyota.
