Council to discuss how to move forward without mayor Milobar
KAMLOOPS — As Peter Milobar prepares to make the move from mayor to MLA, city council will also be entering a time of transition.
There are three options before city council: Milobar could resign as mayor, forcing a by-election, council could continue on a rotation of deputy mayors, or an interim mayor could be appointed to hold the position until the next municipal election.
At this point, Milobar isn’t saying whether he intends to resign.
“Certainly there was a lot of people from the public side leading up to the election saying, ‘don’t have a by-election,’” Milobar said, “but there was also quite a few people quietly saying, ‘no, in a city of 100,000 there should be a duly elected mayor and a full council as much as possible.’
