Regional director apologizes
During a special meeting of the Regional District of
the Central Okanagan board on Thursday morning, regional director Patty
Hanson apologized for previously calling for the resignation of chairman Robert Hobson and development services director Dan Plamondon. "I would like to make a formal public apology to chair
Robert Hobson and director of development services Dan Plamondon for my statements at the regional district board meeting on April 23, 2012,"
said Hanson. "I recognize that this has caused them personal grief
and was an attack on their professional reputation, and as such, I unequivocally retract my statements that the entire board was
deliberately misled by the chair and director. "I was frustrated with the process for rural
development and commit to working with our staff, the chair and my
colleagues on the board in the future to deal with issues such as this." After the statement, the regional board held a vote of
confidence in Hobson and Plamondon, which received unanimous endorsement
by the board. "The board is pleased with the apology and welcomes the
united spirit of cooperation and confidence in the chair and the
director of development services," said Bruce Smith, communications and
intergovernmental affairs officer for the regional district.
