Lisa Dominato: 'My priority is to address the public concerns over transparency, accountability, and overall governance of Metro Vancouver.'
Vancouver city councillor Lisa Dominato could find herself in one of the hottest seats in B.C. politics these days, as she vies to be nominated as Metro Vancouver’s board chair.
The chair earns $105,000 as a base salary and oversees board meetings as their chief responsibility. The chair also plays a role as spokesperson on board positions and is more involved in intergovernmental relations. The chair can also play an influential role by determining standing committees and so-called task forces.
“My priority is to address the public concerns over transparency, accountability, and overall governance of Metro Vancouver,” said Dominato. For instance, as it stands, liquid waste projects are mostly paid for by the property owners served by them, with less than half the costs going to all households in the region.
Glacier Media asked Dominato if it is in Vancouver property owners’ interests to move to a more regional billing strategy, given the Iona wastewater treatment plant, which serves Vancouver, is slated for an upgrade now widely cited by directors as costing $11 billion.
