Council meeting
dealt with RCMP Musical rides and Inlander as chief items Plus condemned
Overlook houses (again) We see Mayor
Jack Mussallem absent for 2nd straight meeting |
|
|
But First
--- |
|
I
had reported earlier that rumours the Museum building to be sold --- Now I am
hearing that Kitkatla bought half the building – and that it will legally be
sub-divided later – the idea was to have someplace in town for wakes and
offices etc --- the boat below was letting off people to attend a funeral this
weekend--- More on this later as it seems one of more positive things that
has happened lately in PR |
|
|
Beautiful
sunshine Tuesday |
|
Another
rumour I am hearing is that BC Ferries is potentially going to take over the Airport
ferry --- but no one on crews had heard anything about it – so while it would
be a great relief (if happens) for local taxpayers ---- we’ll have to
investigate further --- remember when Airport Ferry was a $$$ maker? – What
changed? More later |
|
|
Herb Pond
campaign posters |
|
And
it was funny to see Pond’s crew racing around town to claim all the best
locations for signs --- one paper said had to look far and wide to find any
NDP signs to balance their poster pictures |
|
|
We see too |
|
Working
on the roof of mall --- but actually difficult to tell what doing – I saw a
near-by truck with removed roofing material --- so perhaps fixing leaks etc |
|
|
Rotary and
city ‘partner’ in having RCMP ride in PR next July |
|
I
will return to this in more detail --- we are talking on order of 12T$ put up
by City --- while there is some talk of cost recovery from selling tickets –
only Joy Thorkelson broached topic that many families won’t be able to afford
the entry price – 10$ adult 6$ child etc |
|
|
Ivan Rudman
pleads for time – but Council not moved |
|
Plus
1307 and 1309 Overlook condemned (again for former) --- not much progress
seen in clean up --- more later --- and Mr E Stackman name comes up both
Inlander asbestos study and 1307 Overlook --- more later |
|
|
Zoning changes
|
|
This
item took up a lot of time – so much so that obvious Council had not
discussed it in-camera --- and thus actually had a good discussion in public
for a change ---
Topics from fish bearing streams to Industrial vs Residential vs Public
Amenity etc More
later |
