The Engineers and Geoscientists of BC have filed a formal complaint against Prince George Mayor Simon Yu.
It’s regarding previous work from 2021 in support of a building permit for an addition to an existing cabin located on Cluculz Lake.
The complaint states despite not having sufficient geotechnical engineering expertise to provide such a certification, Yu wrote and authenticated a letter to the Regional District of BulkleyNechako in February of 2021 certifying that the 2 construction of a retaining wall was in “safe service condition ready to receive the roof trusses to form a storage/garage”, “while acting as soil retaining walls” and that he accepted “the concrete block work’s workmanship as a whole”.
In addition, both groups noted Yu authenticated eight drawings for the Project and thereby took responsibility for the overall design, including both geotechnical and structural aspects, despite those drawings being deficient and failing to comply with several requirements.
The Prince George Mayor is slated to attend hearings on July 18th as well as August 7th and 8th.
