SAINT JOHN, N.B. — Envision Saint John will still be answering to area municipalities as its funding source switches to the regional service commission, its CEO says.
According to the council report, that"created some inconsistencies and conflict related to funding Envision and also required a re-examination of the governance structure." Beckett said it made the existing agreements with the municipalities"redundant." In terms of cost, Beckett said there's no change, with the initial funding established set to end in 2025, with the RSC responsible for funding decisions afterwards.
"With the proposed changes to their members’ agreement, they are well positioned to continue delivering valuable service to the Fundy region," O'Hara said in a statement Wednesday." demonstrates the agency’s ability to continue to evolve and adapt to the needs and interests of its members." Beckett, a former deputy city manager for Saint John, was appointed interim CEO in September for at least a year after permanent CEO Paulette Hicks went on leave, Brunswick News reported.
In an email Thursday, Rothesay town manager John Jarvie said the town is"satisfied" that the changes will be beneficial and"is enthusiastic about working with the other local government entities to grow this region during a time of tremendous opportunity."
