Coldstream council wants to wash away about three years of negotiations on the structure of Greater Vernon Water. ``Coldstream council has said `we don't support the devolution of the water system, we want to see it stay as it is'.'' says Mayor Jim Garlick. The announcement follows an in-camera session of council on Monday. Garlick is hoping to convince the City of Vernon to end efforts to pull out of the water distribution system. He also hopes an old governance bylaw on water and parks can be returned. ``It's a more positive way to head rather than fighting with one another,'' Garlick says. Meanwhile, Vernon councillors have been looking at Greater Vernon Parks and Rec. Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert says they've passed a motion supporting the current structure. ``I think it's time the politicians put their egos away and everything else and really thought about what the citizens of Greater Vernon want,'' says Lippert. The mayor would like negotiations on the parks strucutre to be put on hold until after local elections this fall.
