O begat city council looking -
for greater public input in 1992

Scott David Harrison
EDITOR

The city of Castlegar is making the
most of the new year.

Fearing it’s losing touch with the
electorate, city council is inviting the
public to speak up at its first session
of 1992.

The invitation comes less than one
month after Castlegar watched it’s
hastily assembled road referendum
rejected by disgruntled voters who
argued they were kept in the dark.

“This is a very important meeting,”
Ald. Jim Chapman said, “With the
paving referendum, the public said it
didn’t have all the information, we

don’t want that to happen again.”

The council session is being geared
as a question and answer period for
the public, Chapman suggested. He
said council is looking forward to this
up-close-and-personal with the
public.

“I’m really glad that questions
have been raised,” he said, “This
gives us a chance to provide answers
to every question the public might
have.”

Chapman said council intends to
explore every issue. He said it would
re-examine the road referendum for
the benefit of the public.

He also added that pressing
matters like downtown revitalization,
the proposed RCMP headquarters
and the new city works yard would
be open for discussion.

“We're going to go right down the
list to answer every question that
might be raised,” Chapman said.

Chapman dismissed the notion
that residents don’t care about the
affairs of council.

Pointing to the Dec. 14 defeat of
the road referendum, he said citizens
want to know as much as they can
about Castlegar spending.

“Once you get into a recession, as
we are, all of a sudden people want to
know where every | dollar council is
spending is going,” Chapman said,
“That shows that people have a keen
interest in finding out what is going
on.”

He said Tuesday’s session could be
the first step towards re-establishing
the currently-confused lines of

communication.
