Dissidents in Kelowna sue on Kelowna Springs rezoning - update IV

We have obtained the City of Kelowna reply. Here.It seems to us these liartards extraordinary are admitting in pleadings to the flawed process of their client.

If Young Anderson lawyer Sukhbir Manhas and associate Adam Jordan can't run with the ball, the city, for this money, should hire somebody that can. See ---- Survey fraud from Denciti

------------------------------------------------ Two plaintiffs of the Kelowna Springs court challenge have bowed out. Susan Ames and David Buckna filed notices of discontinuance on June 29. The prospects of a 'David versus Golliath' senario and high legal costs has probably frightened them off.

Three plaintiffs remain attached to the legal challenge — Alexandra Wright, Randy Kozek and Lorel Pearce. Susan Ames is a previous candidate for council, losing in 2022. David Buckna is a prolific commentator and letter writer. Wright, Kozek and Pearce are seeking an injunction preventing the city from advancing the development application until the process of full disclosure of all material information occurs. Here.

------------------------------------------------ Shakers on Kelowna council are in a burning rush to pass their Kelowna Springs grift. Despite a petition being filed in BCSC, there is no sign of any slowdown, and this with a civic election months away.

The city agenda says a bylaw vote was scheduled. It is curious that Dyas and his team are doing a bum's rush on their Kelowna Springs project while legal documents are being filed by the kilo.

Dyas has no public mandate to jam his reeking Kelowna Springs steal through in his final months as mayor. The disposition of the Kelowna Springs steal must be handled by the politicos who will replace Dyas and his cadre of thieves in 4 months. Dyas is a lame duck, and this we suggest is the reason why his masters want Kelowna Springs approved before the barking dog is de-elected.

The Kelowna Springs rezoning steal is going in front of a judge for a review. A group of justifiably POed citizens have filed a petition seeking a procedural review of the rezoning decision. Here.

That procedure reeked to high heaven as the interests of bums were served and those of Kelowna citizens ignored. "2. A declaration that the Respondent conducted the public hearing process in a manner contrary to the principles of procedural fairness and contrary to the requirements of the Local Government Act;" Mountains of technical information, critical to making a proper decision vis-a-vis flood zone planning, was only included at the 11th hour and wasn't attached. There was no opportunity to review that material by counsellors, some of whom had already been bought. NO rationale for the outrageous steal/land swap was ever offered by bureaucrats. How one justifies Kelowna taxpayers swapping useless land for industrial meant for their bus depot for 1/20th of its value wasn't touched.

The most obvious omission was land valuations for the swap. It is inherently impossible to make a proper decision where valuations are unknown and undisclosed. The deal is so bad it appears those numbers were withheld on purpose. See ----->Land Exchange Agreement - Denciti

"The City's entire process for the Kelowna Spring file raises serious questions about integrity, openness and legality of the process and decision. There needs to be a judicial review of this City Council decision. The approval was unreasonable, unfair, and violated public safety, environmental concerns and regulations, the primary responsibility of the city."
