Greater Vernon's rural reps have yet to decide if their residents will take part in a referendum next spring for a new art gallery and expanded museum. BX-Swan Lake director (Area B) Bob Fleming says he needs more information before making a final decision, but at this point, he's leaning towards taking part. "I have no reason not to participate at the moment," Fleming told Kiss FM. Fleming says the electoral areas, in recent history, have been part of all the arts, youth and culture functions. "And I would expect that to continue unless there's an extremely good reason not to." Area C BX Silver Star director Mike Macnabb is still undecided, saying he needs to know more before making up his mind. "I have no idea what the (operating and other) costs will be, so until those come in, I don't want to say I'm fully behind it or not," Macnabb tells Kiss FM. A $30,000 study by a consulting firm into the costs was expected to be completed for today's Greater Vernon Advisory Committee meeting, but is now expected for the December meeting. The estimated cost of the two projects is 17.9 million. No date has been set for the referendum.
