Coun. Dave Wilbur has reclaimed his seat on the North Central Local Government Association's executive.
Wilbur was in the running for second vice-president but fell shy of the table officer role that would have put him on the eventual path to be association president.
However, he was re-elected as a director at large for the third time at the convention and annual general meeting last week in Quesnel.
McBride mayor Mike Frazier was also re-named to the NCLGA's executive as the regional representative for Fraser-Fort George. Frazier is the longest-serving NCLGA board member on the current executive.
During the convention, more than 250 delegates debated nearly 30 resolutions and they will be forwarded to the Union of B.C. Municipalities for consideration at their annual convention in September.
Among the endorsed resolutions is a request for the province to continue to study the way Norway manages its natural resources; for federal and provincial justice ministers to be able to consider the prolific nature of offenders during prosecution; and for the province to provide a regulatory response to the precedent-setting conflict of interest ruling that has kept elected officials from being a part of non-profit boards.
Delegates did not endorse a resolution that called for the UBCM to lobby the province for preferential treatment to grant applications for infrastructure projects identified as critical or one calling for the province to enact legislation restricting the sale of, and access to, bear spray and machetes by youth.
