Dear Mayor and Council:

Re: CRD Service Review

Two recent announcements of diverting resources from existing functions to support new initiatives at the Capital Regional District has my Council calling into question why we were paying into the existing functions if they no longer served a purpose, raising the question of a service review.

Council passed the following resolution: That Staff be directed to investigate the feasibility of initiating a CRD service review and that the information be circulated to other municipalities in the Capital Regional District.

At this time we are advising all the local municipalities in the capital region of our intent to initiate a service review, which is intended to identify and generate discussion about any existing CRD service budgets that are, or appear to be, inactive and unnecessary.

Please let us know if the Town of View Royal is interested in working on this initiative.

Sincerely,

Carol Hamilton Mayor
