Late report raises concerns

An open letter to mayor/council – City of Williams Lake.

An open letter to mayor/council – City of Williams Lake.

The City of Williams Lake officially served public notice on July 3 that its 2012 annual report was now available for public review and comment with the public being able to openly question items in the report at the council meeting on July 16 at 6 p.m. in Williams Lake council chambers

The one and only question I have is — why does this council say it’s OK to twice submit your annual report late?

The last one being submitted late was in 2010, which is contrary to sections 98 and 99 of the community charter.

If your colleagues in Quesnel and 100 Mile House can submit their annual reports on time, why can’t you?

Is it because there appears to be a leadership paralysis issue in the mayor’s office, here in Williams Lake?

I hope you’ll take the opportunity to explain this on July 16 because I think residents of Williams Lake are entitled to an answer.
