Mayor Al McDonald says he won't support a proposed administrative fee charged when police give warnings for minor traffic offences like burned out lights.
"I will not support a fee charged for any warning," McDonald, who sits on the police board, told BayToday.
"In my opinion a warning is a goodwill gesture from the men and women of our police service and should remain a goodwill gesture, so if it does come to a vote that is how I'm going to vote."
McDonald also wants the meeting time changed from its scheduled 10 a.m. time to one that better suits citizens ability to attend.
"It needs to be as accessible to as many of our citizens as possible because they deserve to have input on any fees."
Meanwhile, Deputy Mayor Tanya Vrebosch, who also sits on the board, says she's not against it.
"We have increasing costs and we're looking at new ways to get revenue." she said.
However, Vrebosch says she'd like to have other opportunities for people to express their opinions like writing or emailing.
As it stands now, you'll have to appear in person at the police station to express your opinions.
Vrebosch says she was told the meeting was being held during the day to cut down on police overtime.
The meeting is scheduled for Friday November 7th at police headquarters on Princess Street.
