How? "I just thought I'd go down te *he four corners and yell it Qut,» joked McKay, when asked by Paul Savage, owner of Try'd and True Hobbies. The ballots will be counted at the council chambers in a process open te the public, McKay pro- mised, with resuits to be made known immediately afterwards. But because the municipal act r uires that council appoint the DMA board, the election results, although binding, wouldn't be officiai until ratified by council Jan. 9. McKay teld committee -the draft timetable could be institu- ted if council approves the report Monda y night. But because ho will be busy with the November municipal election, it «may differ b y two or three days here or there." After his concerns were answered, Savage, one of two people making uations, said hie was pleased with the report. McKay recommended council appoint people to fil any vacan- cies on the board between elc- tions, which didn't sit well with Pat Perkins, a mayoral candidate in the upcoming municipal elec- tion, who made a deputation of behaif of herself and Linda Pea- cock, owner of Peacock Sports. There's been so many resigna- tiens from the board over the leant three years, Perkins argued, that the vacancy poicy could mean the majority of board members could once again be appeinted by council. Perkins asked that the seconýd- p lace candidate bo appointed to f111 a vacancy, and if that person declines, thon the next in line and se on.

Comnittee ap proved the change, but asked McKay to malce sure it doesn't violate the municipal act. No one from the current DBIA board, including chair Sean Hogue, was at the meeting. A letter to McKayfrom mnar- keting coordinator Marcy Mar- chuký said the board requests lhat, to ensure continuity, "the terni of office be staggered, in which 50 per cent of the previous board remain on the new board for at Ieast six months.» It also recommended that council appoint the board chair and treasurer, increase the num- ber of board members by two and that candidates for electeci positions "must disclose their in- tentions or reasons for seeking election, then have the informa- tion published in the newspa- per.» McKay rejected the reconinen- dations.
