Our Purpose
(Why are we doing this or where on the road to our vision are we now)?
We believe that some of the DWV staff, and council members seem to make decisions based mostly on their own political agendas, their immediate friends or supporters and special interest group. Collectively we refer to them as the Elite Few decision makers.
Hence our Purpose is to change how significant decisions will be made by council in WestVan by modifying a current WestVan bylaw (Council procedure bylaw 5005) to incorporate the following rules for council:
All significant community decisions must be voted |x| on (by referendum or electronic voting) by the residents of West Vancouver.
'Also this bylaw would be changed to include the statement that each council member is encouraged to poll 'residents about how residents feel about a possible decision
Significant Community Decision includes all ‘spot zoning’, re-zoning generally, changes to the official community plan, annual budget, capital expenditures in excess of $5,000,000 (including the present value of fuure operating expenses).
Committee selection should firstly be based on Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSA). Collect all residents interested and evaluate for KSA. Then from this group, select committee members by random number generator.
