Public Works In Charge

PIPE DREAMS COME TRUE

The light is shinning with a clear brilliance from Summerland’s Municipal Hall this morning. I personally had to don my sunglasses before I could continue reading the article. I popped open the Penticton Western Newspaper dated Aug. 26, 2005 and there was the story on page A5. What a brilliant move by our current council!
The part of the story that I believe to be the most brilliant move by this group was to give power to the Superintendent of Public Works. The Superintendent of Public Works is now the Approving Officer. This move by council screams with practicality and I can only compliment the group of 7 on this wonderful decision.
If a tax paying citizen of Summerland took the time to review the adopted minutes along with the Very Hot Attachments you would find that the head man of public works along with his senior people are bringing a clean message on a continual basis to the meetings that they attend.
Infrastructure: The basic facilities, services and installations needed for the functioning of a community. Don’t rush! These services that we take for granted need to be planned, give us the time. These experienced people from public works bring such basics as water and hydro to our home. Without them we would all be dry camping! Let practicality rule! What a great move by the powerful group of 7.
