The "Alternative Approval Process" is a very easy way for the Town of View Royal to borrow $8 million dollars for a new (was Firehall) now Protective Services building. We already owe $2.5 million for the land. The Town only requires 10% (770 signatures) to disapprove thru this Alternative Approval Process to carry out this very expensive building. View Royal has a population of approximately 9,300 of which 7700 are voters/taxpayers. This is far too rich a project for a town of this size. A scaled down version and less equipment at the firehall could/might be the answer. Needs versus wants. All elected politicians have limits on their powers and responsibilities. Let there, at least, be a referendum.
