Slathering bureaucratic desks these days is Coldstream's desire to send a letter to the City of Vernon asking whether the city wants to continue providing police services to North Okanagan member communities, or "customers", as we satellite populations are called.
This follows the acknowledgement that the City of Vernon's Safe Communities Agreement expires December 31, 2014.
Paying for the entire kit and caboodle are the District of Coldstream, Village of Lumby, Township of Spallumcheen, City of Enderby, City of Armstrong, and the City of Vernon (affectionately called the "service provider").
Presumably, policing is pretty high on the list of what communities desire.
Since all North Okanagan communities are included in the cost, you'd not be mistaken in believing the service provider would want to continue to provide policing to their own community.
And the other signatories too.
After all, it's an agreement, albeit with an expiry date.
So maybe Vernon's bureaucrats ought'a put some zest into a slow January day by replying "no".
Imagine the furor then, as Coldstream's council runs crying and again smears its nose on Victoria's apron.
"Oh, for heaven's sake," sighs Kia, adding "the ridiculousness continues".
A little levity among bureaucrats in late winter.
