Bass wants two words in the following section changed: “All currently operating and future transitional and supportive housing options must commit to providing the following defined wrap-around support services to their clientele: a) daily on-site nursing staff when required, b) 24-7 security services, and c) access to weekly mental health and/or addictions counselling services.”
Proposed in its place is an amended motion substituting “must commit” to “where appropriate.”
The original motion passed by a vote of 5-3, with councillors Bass, Dieter Dudy, Mike O’Reilly, Bill Sarai and Denis Walsh in favour. Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Kathy Sinclair and Arjun Singh were opposed. Coun. Sadie Hunter recusing herself as she is executive director of a social agency — A Way Home Kamloops.
