Vernon city hall

Residents calls for action from Vernon's new mayor and councillors

Now that you and council are sworn in, it is time to set all staff straight. For the past years now, the mayor and council have not shown any leadership.

It is time for mayor and council to set all managers and staff straight. You have a communications person and all information should go through this person.

All hiring of staff must be approved by yourself and council.

Why does the economic manager require a planner, only responsible to him and not the city planner (working with people of similar interest)?

We do not have any new major businesses in this town in the past five years

All of the managers should get paid on how they do their job performance.

We cannot afford to have anymore high-paying staff working for the city without causing our taxes to go up more and do not forget all of the people all ready in line for major money from us — old rail line,  art and museum, water, parks, recreation centre, old arena, race track, twinning of Kal Tire Place and more.

People, do not forget, we elected these people and now must get the standard raised on what we expect from them.

Mayor and council, you and you alone have control over who is hired and communication from the city hall and you are elected by and responsible to us.
