Sinclair said with everything that has been happening lately, with respect to the TNRD’s spending controversy, it is the right time to reconvene the committee and take a “comprehensive look” at regional district policies. The call to reconvene the policy committee comes in the wake of scrutiny over regional district policies that permitted spending of taxpayer dollars on parties, high-end restaurants, regular coffee shop visits, luxury hotels, wineries, liquor stores and expensive gifts. “I’m especially curious to look at other regional districts and compare them and maybe there’s some policies that we have never had before that we should have,” Sinclair said. “Maybe there are some differences between the policies that we do have. I think really what governance is all about is good policy and I’d be delighted to have an annual policy review and we say, ‘Yeah, our policies are sound.’ I think that’s where we need to be.”
