last three years.

Godfrey declined to state his reason for
abruptly palling out of the deal to work as top

loyee in West Vancouver.

“1 felt extremely bad. 1 appreciate the com-
ments and concerns by Pat (Soname). P’'m nor
sare what to say,” said Godirey.

“T regret having to inform West Vancouver
thar I wasn’t coming,” he said .

Mayor Pat Boname was unavailable for
sCOMMENE to press time. ‘A press release states
that she was “astounded” at Godfrey’s deci-

ion. The press release states council] members
have asked: the municipality’s lawyer for an
opinion about the “district’s legal options”
concerning Godfrey’s move.

Said West Vancouver District Coun. Victor

urman, “To say we are shocked is a total

new manager resulted in about 30 applicants,
Council members interviewed ‘about five peo-

against Whistler.

“He absolutely, in a verbal undertaking,
stated that wasn’t his style and once he said yes,
it was yes,” said Durham: “It is very difficult.
He was 10 days away from joining us. The staff
is all up and morale is great and things are
charging forward and then this.”

Durman himself decided on Friday to run
for re-election in November, in part to ensure
city hall’s reorganization continues.

Durman said the municipality was looking
for the Wayne Greztky of municipal managers.

He said finding a new municipal manager
will take at least three months and require a lot
of time and money. The municipality has had a
stormy year since the completion of an organi-
zational review called the Cuff report. The
frank Cuff report was first edited by municipal
lawyers before public release. The Cuff Report
criticized the municipal manager and the
mayor. Municipal manager Doug Allan was
terminated in April, He had held the job for
about cight years, working for West Vancouver
for more than 22 years. Allan’s salary was
