A review of North Westside governance is moving ahead, but who will pay is causing a furor.

The Regional District of Central Okanagan is receiving $20,000 from the provincial government for a services and community issues review for the North Westside. However, RDCO could also charge Central Okanagan West taxpayers for $22,500 in in-kind costs, such as staff time.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 looking for the same process that91裸聊视频檚 happened everywhere else,91裸聊视频� said director Wayne Carson, adding that other communities within RDCO and elsewhere in the province haven91裸聊视频檛 been billed directly for in-kind costs for studies.

91裸聊视频淭his is a regional initiative and has been dealt with as a regional initiative before.91裸聊视频�

What particularly concerns Carson is the study is only for the North Westside but all taxpayers in the Central Okanagan West electoral area, which includes areas near Peachland and West Kelowna, would have to pay for in-kind costs.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檝e had areas say they don91裸聊视频檛 want to be part of the process. To charge all of Central Okanagan West is unfair,91裸聊视频� he said.

RDCO staff say there is no ability to just charge in-kind costs to the North Westside because there isn91裸聊视频檛 a specific administrative service for the governance review.

91裸聊视频淭hey (all Central Okanagan West residents) will learn and take take advantage of the findings whether it impacts them or not,91裸聊视频� said Brian Reardon, chief administrative officer, of broad-ranging benefits.

RDCO91裸聊视频檚 insistence that it may not cover in-kind costs will upset North Westside residents, says Carson.

91裸聊视频淭hey are proving the case there91裸聊视频檚 a disconnect between the North Westside and the regional district.91裸聊视频�

At Monday91裸聊视频檚 board meeting, most directors refused to consider investigating options for in-kind cost recovery.

91裸聊视频淐entral Okanagan West should pay for this. I don91裸聊视频檛 care what other jurisdictions have done. I don91裸聊视频檛 want to pay for that,91裸聊视频� said Luke Stack, a Kelowna director.

However, there may be an opportunity to discuss the issue of in-kind costs once the terms of reference and scope of services and community issues review are developed.

91裸聊视频淲e may be able to revisit it,91裸聊视频� said Doug Findlater, board vice-chairperson.
