Reeve Harry Worsell and Deputy -Reeve John Doherty complained that Mayor Eileen Pahner missed the first meeting of the committee held at the Candlelight Restaurant on Dec. 23. "I thought you could have shown a little more class, your worship. I hope you will stop treating us like Kindergarten children," said Doherty. Palmer said she did' not attend ,the meeting because there was no agenda and she thought there was no reason for a lun- cheon meeting: She sent a note to the two explaining her reasons adding that the Mayor can set the date of the first meeting. "We didn't spend a red cent of the tax- payers' money on the luncheon. Every penny came out of John's and my pockets," answered Worsell. Coun. Jim Searls came to the mayor's defence saying a motion had been passed by council stating that council members should receive an agenda Thefore a meeting. Coun. Glen Carey told council he hoped the "back-biting" shown by the four in the dispute would end. "All four comments waste our time and the taxpayers' time. I hope we can steer away from this sort of thing," he said.
