Agenda fro this meeting: and full package as PDF file

Given this was the last meeting for this Council there was almost nothing of substance at the meeting

Except perhaps another salvo in the New Era ‘Liberals’ attempts to save money

Down Loading??

BC Transit Expenses on municipalities under rubric of “increased flexibilities”

backgrounder( in works)

Paddy Greene said the D word

Part of ramifications of giving BC “Taxpayers” large increases in their after taxes income is to transfer those costs to consumers—usually the poorer types who vote but don’t really count in the New Era world view. As this was a budget item for next year it was wisely deferred to the incoming Council

Saying Goodbye

Thank you
to Cyril, Sue, Jack and Don

While Council did not become teary eyed about it – there was a sense of both sadness and anticipation. While we might sometimes disagree with particulars these are all good people who have given much time and energy towards making PR a better place to live. Example? Jack is/was on 22 local committees as the City rep.
