March 24 #ykacc. Pathways shelter public submissions. Just setting the time and date and Reid already has a meltdown. Won't declare conflict of interest and just terrorizing staff and council. Absolute shame the province has no mechanism to deal with this stuff. Just abhorrent. #Kamloops

I'm gonna be disobedient and say hey "guys"! this is what we got from the Committee of the Whole. Tell your kids and friends that we're gonna have a traffic calming policy. #visionzero #ykacc #Kamloops #BoldAction #budget2026 #elxn2026 #ActiveTransportation
We went from "don't need any more water other than regular office use" to "we don't know how much we'll need" infonews.ca/news/7492211...
What is this coolant they are talking about. I want ot know about the coolant, a-z. #Kamloops #ykacc #AI
Great to have Cllr Bass on the Economic Health Select Committee to remind everyone about the working class people. It's not enough to have everyone at the table! Ea budgetary decision made by council has different impacts on different groups of people. Some are not even represented! #Kamloops #ykacc
BC Transit commited to funding a route expansion in Kamloops but our council is considering not budgeting for it. Please tell them to budget for it. Thank you! The *next steps in the photo below is from Nov public consult, where they're considering to find savings. Don't do it, #ykacc!
OMG! the world we live in. Reid calling out Neustaeter for over policing the folks on the streets of Kamloops!
It's not an old school movie! It doesn't have to be hero vs villain. We have two villains! #ykacc
Organizations dealing with this public safety crisis are concerned with two things. 1-Women And Gender Equality Department is about to be defunded and 2-Frank Caputo of our very own riding not understanding the issues at hand. www.cbc.ca/player/play/... #UBCM #Kamloops #ykacc
I feel like they are really really justified in making this statement almost three years into this council's term. 💣

Council approved a pilot of two neighbourhoods with a 30 km/h speed reduction.
Apparently a city wide feasibility study would've been too costly. #Kamloops #ykacc #VisionZero
Most excellent news. Play stupid games...
-->The judge said the order for costs was necessary “to control the court’s process.”
“And specifically to deter a failure by the plaintiff to meaningfully engage in the litigation he commenced,” she said. #Kamloops #ykacc
BTW, the explosive #ykacc meeting was ~ June 26 so days after the mayor's press release! I missed the June 21 castanet article. So it all explains the "new tensions" in COTW and regular meeting 😬 #Kamloops
Not knowing this really angered RHJ. And then he couldn't find out in the moment who the third party is. He was planning a takedown and then there were so many gaps in his *knowledge 😂[nervous laughter]. #ykacc
I'm not giving another 90 minutes of my life right now to listen to the rest of today's council meeting.
Adults need to be able to articulate how they can receive information and Reid Hamer Jackson refuses to do it. Our councillors are showing massive restraint. What a toxic man. #Kamloops #ykacc
Mayor asking about youth safety and feeling safe in this city. Overall, students (junior council) feel safe other than among their own peers on some school buses. It's been in the news. So, they acknowledge the folks on our streets but it's not a safety concern for them. #Kamloops #ykacc #youth
Cllr Bepple communicated these needs to Peter Milobar at Jun10 #ykacc and council will try for a meeting with the Ministry of Transportation at UBCM in September on these 3 issues. Valleyview corridor, Red Bridge ( #Bill15) and Active Transportation Funding. Peter: bridge replacement not new funding
Peter Milobar thinks that Caputo is some kind of star that Eby should be utilizing for bail reform 🙈 the man is literally preying on our fears and tries to confuse us half the time he speaks in HoC.
He could also be a mediocre lawyer hence the love affair with the party of frat boys 🤷🏻♀️ #ykacc
The climate levy survived the budget deliberations. We have to keep talking about the impacts of climate change on our community. transitionkamloops.net/ccap-funding... #Kamloops #ykacc

City of Kamloops Council meeting on. First order of business for the mayor going after the corporate officer insinuating the minutes she prepares for council to vote on are inaccurate. 😵💫 #ykacc
Cllr Neustaeter admitted that she checked this out after White Cane presented to tnrd. She was shocked. She did sit on safety and security committee with Cllr Hall, which is tasked with the built environment. They focused on policing though. www.castanetkamloops.net/news/Kamloop... #Kamloops #ykacc

RHJ got hung up on the code of conduct cases, which is a small fraction of total legal costs. He was insisting something nefarious was going on that we're hiring an investigator or lawyer he doesn't like. He couldn't grasp we take who's available. cfjctoday.com/2025/01/22/k... #Kamloops #ykacc
Not done reading this entire thing but Cllr Karpuk said in the COTW meeting that sending cops into our kids' classrooms is great community work. Anti gang shit and stuff. How about lived experience and peer to peer education. And pay those kids we've kicked to the curb $190K. #Kamloops #ykacc #SLO
There was an active transportation report ready to be presented to council but Cllr Hall quickly moved a motion to push it to another date. It will now be discussed at the February committee of the whole COTW meeting. #budget2025 #ykacc
Next, it was proposed that deputy mayor chairs COTW meeting. Cllr Sarai persuaded council to allow mayor to chair the meeting.
Why?
Yeah, the meeting derailed in a RHJ type of way. #ykacc #budget2025
