There will also be $2 mil-

Rust said when the ques-

city solicitor advised council it
could not pass a bylaw con-

Ald. Len Embree criticized
the “intimidating tone" of the
letter and challenged the state-
ment in the letter that the
majority of Castlegar citizens
would pfefer a single canvass.

He said if the local major-
ity of residents preferred the
single United Way canvass
they would not have given as
generously as they. did to re-
cent Heart Foundation and

K, McAdams told

oe Castlegar News Bodard ©

was under no pressure to
resign. McAdams said Bodard
had previously considered re-
tiring and had suggested last
week he was interested in re-
tiring if the terms were suit-
able.

McAdams said he drew up
what he considered a reason-
able set of conditions and pre-
sented them to Bodard and the
board for approval.

Asked whether there was
any question of a loss of confi-
dence in the administrator in
the board’s decision to accept
the resignation, .McAdams
agreed “there may have been,”
but said the way in which
Bodard offered his resignation
was voluntary.

“There's no way you can
force a guy who's been there for
so many years to resign with-
“out facing legal action,” he said.
“Anyway, you don’t -want: to
grind him into the ground after
he's been there that long.”

But this week Area H

director Norman Brewster said.
the board had requested the.

administrator's resignation,

“It’s my impression that
the board asked Bodard to re-
sign,” Brewster. said. “And
judging from his words at-the
meeting, McAdams was the one
who gave him the push."

The board voted Saturday -

to approve the committee of the
whole decision and the hiring of
RDCK treasurer Reid Hender-
son as both administrator and
treasurer for a probationary

. period of five months,

. Contacted this week,
Henderson said the area in
which Bodard would be ad-
vising the RDCK for the next
year would be the preparation
of special reports by the board
to various government minis-
tries and to such bodies as B.C.
Hydro.

Ald. Andy Shutek at the
Tuesday council meeting ques-
tioned the-necessity of hiring a
new administrator, even after
the cost of Bodard’s resignation
has been absorbed, if Hender-
son can handle both jobs ade-
quately.

Moore agreed, noting Bo-
dard served in the same dual
capacity for seven years before
the hiring of a separate treas-
urer.

“If Mr. Henderson does the
job properly, the board would
be really ill-advised to hire a
separate administrator,”, she
said. : é z

Bodard, who was mayor of
Nelson from 1963 to 1965, and

+ had been an alderman before

that, was appointed the local
district’s first secretary-
treasurer when. regional ..dis-
tricts'were created throughout
B.C. in 1966.

At that time Bodard was
an insurance adjuster in Nel-
son, and he took on the regional
district post part-time for $300
per month.

When more and more re:
sponsibilities were taken on by
the district, making it truly a
fourth level of government, a
full-time administrator was
needed, and Bodard ‘moved up
the ladder.
