What a real City Council meeting looks like

Terrace had full meal deal – while Rupert has ‘leftovers’

Our meetings used to be like this before ‘Puddle philosophy’ muddled things up

 

But Rupert even under Mayor Lester ever went this far into open, transparent government --- see checques below where ‘we’ limited to >5T$

  Rupert used to do this

Monthly building reports are like taking economic pulse of community

See Year to Date for Terrace below

 

Certificate Presentation, Chief Scout Award ..............................................

Greater Terrace Beautification Society
--------- Cleanest School Awards ...........................

Muks-Kum-Ol Housing Development Society –

Peter Weeber, Provincial Emergency Program

A sense of Community

I see 4 delegations due to speak at May 14th meeting of Council in Terrace --- zilch in Rupert

Fire Department Report, January-March 2007.................

Building Synopsis, April 2007.....

Cheque Register, April 2007....................

Seniors Advisory Commission Minutes, May 2, 2007 .

Reports

I am told the RCMP, Fire and Building reports still done monthly and sent to Mayor (Puddle?) and Council --- presumably they go into some puddle – or at best commented upon during those interminable ‘secret meetings’ – but of course that would be illegal as don’t meet the criteria for secrecy --- Even if this Council too busy going to conferences etc this information could and should be posted on the City’s new and improved web site for those of us who pay attention to the details.

Check this out

Rupert used to post it’s checks over 5T$ in agenda package --- but with new administrators – has disappeared --- Presumably have to file an FOI to get this kind of public information

 

 

Source of what a ‘real’ City Council does on 1st after budget meeting

Now that is transparency

All the checks are presented --- even down to small items like this check issued to Terrace’s mayor
