RDNO To Consider VSAR Request

Regional District of North Okanagan Directors will now spend some time digesting a request for financial help from Vernon Search and Rescue.

The team pitched an idea at Wednesday evening’s board meeting for a three and a half million dollar Alternative Approval Process for a new headquarters.

Board Chair Bob Fleming says the board would have to vote on establishing a loan authorization service that would allow for the borrowing of the money.

“There’s no money in any pot somewhere that’s available to use. If that were successfull then also go through a process of either a full referendum or alternate approval process to borrow the money to fund the service.”
