Confusion Over Use Of City Owned Vehicles

The city is being told by a consultant it has to spell out clearly if and when its vehicles can be used for personal use by its managers.

Kate Vigneau says one manager told her he wasn't sure if it was alright for him to pick up his daughter from daycare in a city vehicle.

 She spoke to other managers for the city who say if you're going to and from work, it's alright to make a stop to pick something up or do an errand.

Vigneau says that's not all that unusual among municipalities and she adds the city is doing alot that is right with the management of its fleet of vehicles.

Common Councillor Bill Farren says he finds the lack of clarity to be disturbing nonetheless.
