Lethbridge city council on Tuesday reversed course on a recommendation made by the Economic and Finance Standing Policy Committee on financial reporting of the Lethbridge and District Exhibition.

The SPC, which consists of mayor and all members council, voted 7-2 on March 13 to that monthly reporting of the Lethbridge and District Exhibition finances be changed to quarterly reporting instead.

But the item was pulled by councillor Jenn Schmidt-Rempel who on Tuesday, like on March 13, opposed the change.

The motion failed on Tuesday after council  voted 5-4 against the change.

Voting against the change in the reporting schedule were Schmidt-Rempel along with fellow councillors Ryan Parker, Rajko Dodic, deputy mayor Nick Paladino and mayor Blaine Hyggen.
