I think if the Kelowna taxpayers are going to be responsible for paying this 2,000,000 bill, an itemized accounting should be made public and easily accessible. That is a bill should show exactly where the money was spent and to whom. A complete accounting and why not. You think I have trust issues of all levels of government, you bet.

It doesn't really matter which level of Gov't foots the bill it's ultimately us who pays.
I got Married because I was sick and tired of finishing my own sentences.
That's worked out great for me!

The company I work for was one of the companies doing the sand bag clean up. The money we got paid was not bad at all.

Re: Our bill for the Flood of 2017
To give you a quick break down of money just through our company. We had 4 trucks and dump trailers and 4 crews of 5.
Each truck billed out at $800 a day for 8 hours
Each crew billed out at $2,400 a day for 8 hours if I remember correctly.
That works out $3,200 a day for trucking and $9,600 for 4 crews.
Grand total is
$12,800 a day.
Company pay to staff roughly $5,760 a day
Company profit $7,040 a day
These are rough numbers but not to fare off as I still have the trucking logs.

And also factor in tax, depreciation, capital repayments, etc.

Re: Our bill for the Flood of 2017
My intention was not to paint a rosie picture and like we all got rich. I was just posting the numbers.
Also the company only had one "company truck" working the other three where employee trucks mine was one of them.
Also yes there are a lot of other expenses as well like posted and yes the pay was good. I was just simply talking numbers though.

Govt caused the flood? I think you're confusing gov't and god.
Both start with G though.
