maintenance of culverts and ditches.

PROPOSED BYLAW ADDITION
4.15.060 Officers
Officers of a service board shall not be employed by a contractor,or related to
a contractor, or have a financial interest in a business of a contractor
performing services under service board jurisdiction.
Reason for bylaw addition:
In 1990 -1991, the contractor for the Monashka Road Service District was given free reign
for road service work. As a result, expenditures amounted to twice the available revenue
leaving a $23,000 deficit for the District. The chairman of the Board at the time was also
an employee of the contractor. Although there is no evidence of collusion between the
former chairman and the contractor, a perception exists suggesting collusion may have
occurred.
The intent of this bylaw addition is to decrease the possibility of collusion occurring
between officers of the Service Board and contractors performing work for the Board.
