Whereas pursuant to the Local Government Act, regional district elected officials are designated as electoral area directors and assigned roles and responsibilities that mirror those of municipal elected officials designated as councillors under the Community Charter; And whereas in the corporate community the designation of Director is conceptually disassociated with an elected position and the roles and responsibilities assigned to that official by statue: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM work with the provincial government in advance of the 2022 General Local Elections to establish an alternate designation for regional district elected officials that is commonly recognizable and relatable to the roles and responsibilities of a local government elected official.
