October 29, 2000 — North Shore News - 7 ——MAIL Box———— jemocracy not served in Seymour planning Dear Editor: As avolunteer and someone whe partook in the Seymour Lowat Plan (SLP) process, [find it is unconscionable to be silent. In a recent letter ins the North Shore News, Dave Sadler was) bullying Coun. Mac Kay- Duna for the dishand- ment of the SL? management group. This decision was made by the request from the public and supported by the majority of council. Maybe Dave Sadler would like us, “the public™ to publish stacks of fetters of complaints submitted te the mayor and council about this flawed and unfair process run by the man- agenient group. Since we were not permitted to tik fo the public about the untairness of this process and the news media were nor allowed to attend “the real Chamber of Horrors” the public could only write to council, We had two surveys. The first survey was tun by the SEP management group, ‘The sec: ond survey was conducted by our professional DNV. staff. Beeause the group and their supporters for O° growth were the absoluce minority they made 2 suggestion to scrap this survey and to start ali over to their specifications, When we asked where would the money come from, the management group said, “It will be found.” Up to new the cost to the taxpayers towards this OCP provess is $200,000 plus. The OCP is still in process. Onee the SLP process was complete there was no clause suggesting the management group stay on and supervise the OCP or the council. Some democracy — a group of five would like to mold the 24,000 to their specitication with oa democracy.
