The Kenora District Services Board has defeated a motion to allow alternate members to vote on key issues.
The resolution was presented by members of the unincorporated area who feel that their attendance at Board meetings without a vote is a waste of time.
One member says the unincorporated area pays 45-percent of the operations for the KDSB.
The resolution also goes on to say Municipal alternates are also frustrated with the current policy.
The KDSB is the only Services Board in Ontario that uses alternates.
