First meeting with new municipal adviser Braun has Kamloops councillor feeling hopeful
KAMLOOPS — A Kamloops councillor is expressing optimism at the prospect of an improved working relationship with the help of a new municipal adviser.
Former Abbotsford mayor Henry Braun began in the position earlier this month.
Speaking to CFJC Today from the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) Housing Summit in Vancouver, Councillor Katie Neustaeter says the first meeting between Braun and council left her feeling positive.
“We’ve only had one meeting so far with him but it seems like it’s going to be an excellent fit,” said Neustaeter. “I’m hopeful that, with his experience and his steady hand, he’ll be able to have a clear line of sight to improve things for all of us. Hopefully, long time (he can push for) some changes to the Municipal Act that are desperately needed.”
