CAO’S COMMENTS
I concur with the recommendations.


So staff recommended that the volunteers mentioned above be put on the OCP committee but because some of them have been critical of Council,they weren't appointed ! Instead Council instructed staff to keep the positions open until more people applied.
I have applied to sit on various committees such as the DCC Committee and the Tofino Housing Corporation but got the thumbs down from Mayor and Council. Sometimes Council actually goes "in-camera" to select committee members !! Why would the few "friendly" council members go along with this treachery ?
