(STEVE ARSTAD / iNFOnews.ca) February 19, 2021 - 8:30 PM Penticton city council is concerned about how the regional district charges its member municipalities for overhead costs. The matter came up in a notice of motion presented by councillor Frank Regehr at a council meeting on Feb. 16. Regehr expressed concerns about the processes and transparency of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen’s methods of tracking what it charges for overhead costs to its 15 municipal members, to which the regional district budget allocates $4.7 million. He said one of the regional district’s two overhead processes used to track costs - the time tracker system - has documentation outlining practices and procedures that promise director transparency as well as their ability to scrutinize costs, but those procedures haven’t been done “for some period of years.“

The 300-unit single-family residential subdivision proposed by Canadian Horizons came before city council today, Feb. 16, in a bid to rezone the area to allow higher density construction in addition to amending the current Official Community Plan bylaw prior to the council beginning a lengthy public consultation process. Councillor Katie Robinson proposed an alternative recommendation to deny first reading of the OCP and zoning amendments, saying she “firmly believed the correct zoning is already on this property, and that would be country residential.”
