The section below of the Vancouver Charter illustrates that it is City Council that appoints someone to the position of Director of Finance. So, how is it that Estelle Lo resigned but none of the City Council supposedly knew about it till November 17th?
As well, it states that "213. No money shall be disbursed by the city except on the warrant of the Director of Finance" so how was that $100 Million Loan approved?
Director of Finance
210. There shall be a Director of Finance appointed by the Council who shall have such duties and powers in addition to those provided by this Act as the Council may from time to time prescribe.
1953-55-210; 1965-68-29.
Duty to advise Council
211. The Director of Finance may, whenever he thinks fit, and shall, whenever required by the Council so to do, advise the Council on the financial position of the city or any phase thereof and make recommendations with respect to the administration, co-ordination, and efficiency of the city's affairs and the systems under which they are carried on.
213. No money shall be disbursed by the city except on the warrant of the Director of Finance, to be drawn upon the Treasurer, specifying the fund out of which payment is to be made. Such warrant need not be signed by the Director of Finance if it is initialled by him, or by some person authorized by him for the purpose.
