Malcom Brodie, Chak Au and Bill McNulty sit on the regional government's board of directors.

Richmond city Coun. Kash Heed called the meeting saying he'd like to see better communication about Metro Vancouver and its operations, a governance review and to highlight how the regional government’s bureaucracy is unaccountable to taxpayers.

The North Shore Treatment Plant currently under construction has been in the news recently as its cost has ballooned from $1.058 billion to $3.86 billion. But the fiduciary duty of Richmond directors is to the taxpayers of Richmond, Heed said, and "at the end of the day, the taxpayers are funding this."

Brodie received almost $45,000 in 2023 for his role on the board, McNulty received $23,100 and Au received $14,700.
