Electoral District D should have 2
votes |
|
The
‘Letters Patent’ (for explanation read RD
backgrounder) for SQCRD give how the voting strength will be determined – 1
vote/ 2000 population --- thus Area D
has 2074 total (637 non Reserve and 1437 on the 2 Haida reserves) – that
translates into 2 votes. On
the down side of Census data is that Prince Rupert should only have 7 votes
(12,815) For
whatever reason the present staff/ officers wish to maintain the status quo –
either from ignorance or ‘stacking the deck’ in Rupert’s favour etc |

Secret Meetings: Under
Gordon Howie the City has relied almost exclusively with in-camera meetings
to do its business --- some signs the SQCRD going this way too now that Janet
gone
|
Conflict of interest? – PR
administrator’s wife is SQCRD Administrator |
|
This
could be ‘good luck’ (a ‘qualified’ person available locally --- though
several point out the ‘qualifications’ are not adequate) or it could have
deeper interpretations --- the City has often resented the ‘independence’ of
SQCRD – so now it can effectively take it over and use if for its own
purposes (see the 10T$ that has
‘mysteriously’ i.e. not done in an open meeting been transferred to PR for
Millennium Walkway ) |

Is ignorance a Defence part 2 |
|
I
am told that at least one zoning change request that could prove
controversial (Naikoon Park area) has been effectively shelved (illegally?) –
application was made and fee paid for in January of 2007 --- nothing has
happened --- perhaps again the knowledge base is not there |
|
What is
Bedard hiding? |
North Pacific Cannery Museum |
|
Now
let’s see Ron Bedard is Port Edward administrator—(his wife is on PR City
Council though lives in Port Ed) – But Friday night he was giving a report for
North Pacific --- which is/ was using public funds to survive until this year
--- And he wants the financial statement shredded so public can’t see it
----- Note too Mayor Herb Pond was once employed by same Museum --- How
presumably poorly paid municipal staff/ employees seek out extra $$ is a very
interesting theme I will return to later in week --- hint: squabbling over
these public $$ and their dividing up was what behind Janet Beil’s firing – I
am told -- stay tuned |
