District of Coldstream Resolution


Today received a letter from the DoC dated July 30, 2014 (file 5210-02) regarding the Private Fire Hydrant.


"At their meeting held July 28, 2014, Council adopted the following resolution:

THAT the District's representatives on the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee
be directed to bring forward the Highlands Golf Course Fire Hydrant issue
back to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee and request that,
in the interest of procedural fairness,
Greater Vernon Water Utility (GVWU)
review the rates charged for private fire hydrants.

Council respectfully requests that this matter be included for discussion at a future meeting of the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee.

(signed)
Keri-Ann Austin, CMC
Director of Corporate Administration"


"With little effort and even less thought, GVWU could accept that private hydrants are as much infrastructure as public hydrants," suggests Kia. "Making a distinction between the two is punitive."

That is...if the search for additional revenue isn't undermining procedural fairness.
 

Thanks, Coldstream, for realizing that procedural fairness hasn't been applied.
