‘I do think that council needs to focus on the city rather than on council. That’s where I would like to see things move toward,’ says Corner Brook Mayor Jim Parsons. From WS_DianeCrocker
Parsons said the document was circulated among council and there was limited feedback when it was first discussed on Feb. 13. Council voted at that time to postpone the motion to accept the new code to its next meeting.When the matter came back for discussion Feb. 27, there was no debate, and the motion to adopt the new code was defeated.
Parsons said he’s been patient and tries to conduct city business in a professional and even-keel manner. "I think that most councillors have the best interests of the city at heart, and that’s what they’re thinking about all the time. But we need to elevate our professionalism and our duty to move the city forward."“I don’t hold any grudge for anyone’s position on an issue. But there is a difference between taking a principled stance on something and being obstructionist or voting on something based on some personal issue,” he said.
On March 8, the department said 13 other municipalities were anticipated to have their codes completed in the coming days, and it was awaiting a response on the status of their codes from 12 municipalities. “I totally agree with the mayor. There is a divide on our council. In my opinion, we have councillors that have trouble not being in charge and we have councillors that are just followers.”“I shared the mayor’s post on my councillor Facebook page. I agree with his sentiments. I love working with staff – they are top notch. And I find it meaningful and rewarding to connect with residents and community groups.
