Status
Withdrawn
WHEREAS the Local Government Act provides that an Electoral Area Director must appoint an Alternate Electoral Area Director who may take the place of, vote and generally act in all matters for the absent Electoral Area Director; and
WHEREAS Alternate Electoral Area Directors do not have full authority or rights in the stead of the elected official such as in the provision of the NCLGA and UBCM bylaws which prohibit Alternate Electoral Area Directors from participating and voting at the annual and special conventions as NCLGA and UBCM bylaws require voting delegates to be elected officials:
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that NCLGA and UBCM change its bylaws to enable an Alternate Electoral Area Director, in their elected officials stead, to participate in debate and vote at annual and special conventions of NCLGA and UBCM; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that NCLGA lobby the Province to change the Local Government Act to give Alternate Directors full authority and rights as their elected officials in their stead.
