Impartiality imperative

Richmond - The Editor, Re: "City sends advice back," News, Jan. 29.No one knows the Lingyen farm land better than the AAC chair Bill Zylmans and his information about drainage and the history of the land is very useful.
Richmond - The Editor, Re: "City sends advice back," News, Jan. 29.No one knows the Lingyen farm land better than the AAC chair Bill Zylmans and his information about drainage and the history of the land is very useful.The AAC must, however, remain impartial and I hope that the next time they meet and hear the Lingyen proposal for a land swap and development on farm land, they will consider adopting Todd May's motion, which he was unsuccessful in getting anyone to second the last time.The motion was very sensible, it simply asked for the AAC to defer their support for the Lingyen proposal until all the information was available.They did not at that time have the information needed to make an informed decision, such as necessary drainage, partnership agreement with Kwantlen, soil analysis and the Agricultural Land Commission conditions.Carol DayRichmond
