Penticton Mayor Garry Litke was caught off guard by the news. “I will have to go back to my office and take a look at it,” says Litke, saying he won’t be providing comment until seeing the documents. “But I am glad this is finally over, no matter what the decision was,” he said.

Since May, the City has spent $41,769.75 in legal fees.
