City residents will go to the polls in byelection ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone and Kamloops-North Thompson Peter Milobar, both elected as Liberals on May 9, speak to the press on Wednesday at Stone’s constituency office on Victoria Street.

The city’s two Liberal MLAs accused the proposed “GreeNDP” government of ignoring the Interior and North — except in their promises to kill off job-creating projects.

Incumbent Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone and MLA-elect Peter Milobar of Kamloops-North Thompson met with reporters Wednesday to speak on developments since announcement by the NDP and Greens that they will form a coalition government with a com-
bined 44 seats to the Liberals’ 43. In a wide-ranging questionand-answer session, the pair said they will go into the legislature when it convenes with the intention of forming government, including a throne speech and budget. See GREENDP, A4
At least three council positions will be up for grabs when Kamloops voters go to the polls in a fall byelection. On Tuesday, City of Kamloops corporate officer Cindy Kennedy said Coun. Marg Spina has submitted a formal letter of resignation, which will bring her council career to an end on June 30. Mayor Peter Milobar, who was due to take an unpaid leave of absence from council following his election as MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson, confirmed to KTW he will also resign, most likely on the same date. Spina told council earlier this month she was planning to resign as the cancer she has been undergoing treatment for since the beginning of the year is not curable. “My thoughts are really more to Marg and her personal battle and wanting to support her,” Milobar said. “I fully support the decision she’s made around this.” Milobar said the byelection could add new diversity to council and allow new councillors an additional year to deal with the often steep learning curve that comes with local government office. “It could also provide a bit of stability, if you look at the makeup around the

council table,” he said. Kennedy said once Spina resigns, the city will likely appoint a chief electoral officer at its next meeting on July 18. After that, a byelection must be held within 80 days. It will most likely come in September. Kennedy said any councillors interested in taking a run at the mayor’s seat would have 14 days to resign. That’s because local government officials can hold a position at a higher level of government at the same time, but cannot hold two municipal offices. Coun. Ken Christian has previously announced his intentions to run for the mayor’s chair and Milobar noted there may be other councillors still considering a run. Milobar said he thinks the city can work through a temporary loss of at least one-third of council. “We wanted to make sure we had the budget fully completed before even the provincial election, and everything else will be figured out in the byelection before council would normally start getting very deep into the [2018] budget,” he said. “And we still have our strategic plan, which is the guiding document staff work off of.” The cost of a byelection with 19 polling stations has been pegged by the city at approximately $125,000.
