It is quite clear that only 10% of RMI funds can be used for operations and maintenance. I think that what the poster at 7:39 was trying to say is that if the District plans to use that 10% to fund the management of the Resort services Department, then the 10% currently being used by Public Works to clean washrooms, maintain parks and trails etc. would no longer be available for that use. Therefore one can only assume that the money used for those tasks would come from us, the taxpayers. I would also like to think that part of Sally's salary has been paid for with RMI funding as well,since she has managed several RMI projects.<br /><br /><br />http://www.ruralbc.gov.bc.ca/library/RMI/2011%2008%2030%20RMI%20-%20Resort%20Development%20Strategy%20Guide.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058014606755196991.post-16995717610181353432012-12-15T12:09:49.940-08:002012-12-15T12:09:49.940-08:00Just simply cannot beleive the direction this coun...Just simply cannot beleive the direction this council has taken!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058014606755196991.post-73664045117679440542012-12-15T11:49:44.679-08:002012-12-15T11:49:44.679-08:00this is a personal attack on the anonymous who pr...this is a personal attack on the anonymous who pretend they believe authority is infallible and should be obeyed no matter what.<br />ditto on the anonymous who say they believe that council has way more info to make decisions about matters than us stupid whining crybaby begonias.<br />and a pox on the anonymous who would have us all reverting to a feudal state.<br />we'll find you anonymous...........<br />and to the anonymous who think this is funny, some of it is. fantastic.<br />hurting people isnt.<br />a council who is unmindful of the consequences of acting boorishly and unkindly towards a senior employee should seek counselling. or listen.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058014606755196991.post-32927938870995745112012-12-15T11:46:08.248-08:002012-12-15T11:46:08.248-08:0010:42, the mayor stood before us at the meeting th...10:42, the mayor stood before us at the meeting the other night and very clearly said Sally,s dismissal was not about money and it was not about her performance. What was it about then. Restructuring? What is the restructuring? Why aren't we told? Why did they eliminate her and her department when her and her department gave so many people so much? There's a very good reason so many people are pissed off. I really don't think they thought their decision would spark this sort of anger. They might have known if they CONSULTED WITH THE PUBLIC before making such a poor decision!

Really, you won't shop at my business because you don't agree with a decision I have made or an opinion I have......I mean if I were to boycott businesses for those business owners making a decision I disagree with or an opinion they have that I disagree with I likely wouldn't have anywhere in town to shop. I have made comments already, not attacking any individual posts or council yet was attacked by others on the blog. The beauty of being human beings is that we can make decisions and have opinions. We are not robots, I neither agree or disagree with council or the angry community members at the council meeting. What I will say is that I trust council did not just show up one day and decide to eliminate Sally's job, there had to have been some process involved in the decision. I trust that the decision was discussed it at some point prior to the press release and decided that it was the best option based on the information they had. The community members that showed up, while I appreciate their passion and love for Sally don't represent the entire community. There are more people out here that are indifferent, don't care or maybe even think it was a fine decision. I like Sally as a person and don't doubt that she has been involved in the community through her role within the DoT but sometimes cuts get made and these decisions aren't made for personal reasons. I am sure the job was eliminated as a cost saving measure and not because council didn't like Sally. People just need to stop assuming. Rumours and gossip will be the death of this town.
