Crist fai

set agenda

DEBATE over what
one councillor sees as
his “democratic right”
to add business to the
North Vancouver
District Council agenda
in a timely fashion got
testy on Monday.

Coun. Ernie Crist failed
to gain support for his ongo-
ing quest to amend council
policy and guarantee that
motions and i¢perts submit-
ted by councillors appear on
the agenda within two weeks.

Only Coun. Pat Munroe
continued to vote with Crisc
on the issue, which council
defeated in a previous go-
round on March 10.

At that meeting, the
majority of council agreed to
ive Mayor Don Bell, who

the authority to set the
agenda under council policy,
an opportunity to continue
informing council of the sta-
tus of their motions if not on
the agenda.

On Monday, Bell contin-

ued to argue that council is
better served by debating
motions that have the benefit
of the appropriate staff
reports than by debating a
motion and then asking for a
report.

But Crist told council
such a system “brings the
worst out in me.” Said Crist:
“T’m going to have attacks of
paranoia. I shouldn’t have to
waste my time e chasing my
own motions.”

Crist said his paranoia
dated from the previous
administration and Mayor
Murray Dykeman’s “banana
republic” habits of deferring
motions and never bringing
them back.

He told the News: “Don
Bell is playing games. By pre-
venting certain motions com-
ing forward he is manipulat-
ing the outcome of certain
issues. He sat on amalgama-
tion for months.”

But Crist’s aggressiveness
in debate (“Don’ t speak so
much, you're talking too
much, Mr. Mayor.”) lost the
support of councillors who
were considering a four-week
compromise for getting items
on council’s agenda.
