Tax information

NORTH VANCOUVER
District staff deny they
blocked Betty Griffinin her
efforts to gain information
on tax assessments.

Mel Palmer, District
director of financial ser-
vices, had been asked by
council to comment on
charges by Griffin that staff
and members of the B.C.
Assessment Authority had
refused to provide her with
information that should have
been made public.

But Palmer argued in a
Teport to council Monday
that Griffin wasn't denied
any information that she
shouldn't have been denied.

Griffin, president of the
Committee for Fair
Assessments, wants North
Van District to change from
assessment option D_ to
option A, which is less harsh

denied

on homeowners. However,
when she appeared as a
delegation last week, she
told council she couldn't
provide them with any
Statistics to back up her
argument because she was
denied the information
necessary to compile the
Statistics.

Palmer said Griffin should
have been able to make her
calculations from the
assessment rolls, which are
public.

Council passed a motion
of Alderman Mary Sega! that
it explain to the public
exactly what information
can be made available — a
category that includes
bylaws, council minutes
(except in camera),
assessment roll and _ staff
reports relating to items
discussed in open meeting.
