The latest development, according to Cariboo Regional District Board Chair Margo Wagner, is that the Mayor has agreed to step aside.
As a result, Wagner stated they won’t be forwarding a special resolution to Council.
“We had a special resolution that was sent out to the Directors by e-mail and it basically was requesting the City of Williams Lake Council to consider rescinding the appointment of Mayor Cobb to the Regional District Board. The vote passed but I have just learned recently that Mayor Cobb has decided to step down immediately, so we will not be forwarding a request onto Council because Mayor Cobb has already taken care of it himself.”
Wagner thanked Cobb for his years of service.
“I would like to publicly thank Mayor Cobb for his years on the Regional District Board. His extensive political knowledge has certainly been an asset and I want to thank him for the years that he’s given, and we look forward to welcoming the new Council representative, who we don’t know who is it yet.”
Cobb has come under fire for a Facebook post that he shared on “the other side of residential schools.”
