Just had a conversation with one of our residents regarding one of the recommendations in the Russell Farmer report specifically #86 which states the following:
86. Council requests a viability review by the Minister of Municipal Affairs
The full report is available at the following address: http://www.crowsnestpass.com/public/download/documents/4855
First of all I do not think there is any one person in the Crowsnest Pass that agreed with everything in the report, there was a lot of good stuff in there but there was one particular recommendation I disagreed with.
That being the one I am referring to above I stated very clearly why in the following post right after the report was released. http://crowsnestpasshome.blogspot.ca/2013/09/crowsnest-pass-municipal-inspection_19.html
There was no legal obligation on either the last council or this one to accept "all" the recommendations of the report. I did then and do now believe that this community is "viable". There are many communities in this province that have there internal squabbles and struggle with finances. Does that mean we throw in the towel and ask our neighbors to come rescue us? I don't think so.
Note if you still have concerns or questions about your assessment please contact the office at 562-8833 and make an appointment to see our Assessor Glen Snelgrove.

Dean, the main finding of the Farmer's Report was: "One councillor did not get along with the rest of the council ......". Why would anyone pay attention to any of its recommendations?
