While Pond
wants to keep ‘ASKS’ list short & simple (road to airport?) – another informant
says that he is not being forthright --- Infrastructure grants would be 1/3
Provincial 1/3 Federal and 1/3 by Prince Rupert --- so 1/3rd of
150M$ is 50M$ for Rupert’s share of road to airport (my estimate—but you get
the idea) |

Pond and Briglio ‘spar’PRDN recounts
episode , but the ‘real’ interest is the apparent parting of ‘2 amigos’
as try to differentiate from each other with an election in mind(?) Lurking in the
background is the ‘story’ that PRDN reporter quit after not published ---
Story I hear had to do with contracting out and unauthorized (by Council)
expenditures ---time will tell – but Pond’s signature was on authorization
documents I saw using an FOI More
later on Curfew etc |

much of what was told to Council But this page
has main topics Only 19 BC Cities participating

One
fellow counted 14 deer in a 2nd Avenue yard last week |

While
the Car laundry passed with little discussion – Gordon Payne for one had at
least read the background material – seeing that DFO had some concerns about
the liquid waste from car wash (that it might have strong chemicals etc that would
be introduced into fish habitat, etc) – the contract planner made good
comment that those kinds of things better dealt with when applicant actually
submits building plan – and this was only the zoning aspect of the approval
etc |

|
And I hear interesting stories
|
|
Rumour
is that the Pulp mill site being sold (or perhaps only 10 acres of total) for
port related use – Rumour is that price could be 14M$ of which the City could
get 4M$ in back taxes --- Others question tax $ as Sun Wave appealed
assessment – and some heard they ‘won’ I
also hear Feral Cats issue will surface again next week as media takes more
interest in story |
