Feb 11th Council mtg

Fast meeting to get to ‘photo op’ at ANBT

 

 

 

·        Renew ‘memberships’ – Policy & Travel

·        Early capital works projects

·        Sheltair RFP for green task force

 

 

 

Seems there is a ‘policy manual’ somewhere – and it shall be followed

 

What is not stated here is how many ‘freebee junkets’ each of these entail for Council travel

There is the real cost item – and it is never debated – being hidden away in annual budget & policy manuals

Note

 

 

Early start to Capital Works

Totalling 1.6M$ -- and this is just the ‘early ones’ --- most were put off in 2007 because of 5.1M$ ‘logic error’ in budget (or incompetence — what ever)

 

How much do we taxpayers ‘contribute’ each year to cruise ships? Interest on 3.5M$, etc

(Estimated 454T$ in Kumar era))

And how much has the toll booths generated at Rushbrook? Dubious 186T – though Kumar foresaw 200T$ in 2005 from parking meter

 

 

 

 

 

Note the strategy is to let consultant do most the thinking/ work

 

Still that is direction Council wanted to go & CAEE fairly specific

 

Note too how PR has boggy ‘soil’ (Muck) which I doubt these ‘southerners’ will know how to deal with – conceptually or practically

(hint: mucho GHG ‘stored’ in organic soils 

see my early muck story and wider view: NC Rainforests

-- from Sheltair proposal--

 

 

My earlier on Shwatlans during OCP

And my what are they smoking during Kumar era

Easy??

I see the City spending 83T$ for 3 new pickups (see above) – one hopes they will be very fuel efficient etc

 

2) If PR does ‘expand’ as Council believes inevitable --- this will be easier to obtain as not retrofitting older buildings etc –‘overall consumption’

 

Does the 10% mean the Shwatlans power generation a go? --- Does Mt Hays wind farm count?

 

 

 

 

 

I still have to do the discussion around passing the OCP – tomorrow
