A Trickle Of Funds For O'Keefe Ranch Water Hookup - NORD board boss says matter goes back to GVAC


O'Keefe Ranch has been asking local governments for funds to help with a water connection. North Okanagan Regional District board chairman Herman Halvorsen says some money has been trickling in. Electoral Areas B, C and Coldstream have come up with $3100. ``Electoral Areas D, E, and F, we decided we're not going to go into it,'' says Halvorsen. We've got needs of our own. He says the matter is being referred back to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee to see if more funding can be found for the $15-to-18-thousand project.  On another matter, Halvorsen says the board has rejected a 30-thousand dollar grant request from the Okanagan Science Centre.
