Feb 23^rd Council meeting	Part 1---
	Northwest Transmission Line Project

Interesting Evening

Even some hostility expressed

After the Power Point Presentation by BC Transmission

Some serious ideas etc

Hey I even got to ask a question

Best viewed with Internet Explorer to see images

Much of this presentation already on web

See this page for links to NWT project

Map of the proposed transmission line to left

Their site: Part 1 - Project Overview pdf from 2007

project put on hold then reactivated to get EA done

Need to update the 2007 prices into 2009 etc

Images from the slides or PDFs on their site

Image right is the system in Northern BC – better resolution on their web site

Last time they were before Council a month ago

Then last October ---then July 08 then January 08 etc

Communities in Bloom talking serious $$$

Plus 2010 Taskforce wants to do a logo – paid for presumably from their 30T$ Budget (when did they get that as committee just appointed??)

Speaking of $$$

While mayor Jack Mussallem was tracking every penny at SQCRD --- in his own bailiwick the $$ was flowing freely with little comment --- Here the Recreation Department now authorized to spend 174T$ out of operational budget in 2009 for such things as UV sterilization for pool and 35T to put in drains for snow melt ‘dump ---presumably as in photo below –And that is not to mention the 20T$ to digitize buildings plans archives etc----- more later

	City Subdividing old CN station property
	As City owns the land – they are the proponent of the subdivision --- the developer needs the site zone C1 (as Commercial similar to downtown) rather than ‘Industrial’ --- I am told offices and a ‘Bistro’ are planned --- totalling 1.5M$ in renovations

Doing last minute Environmental studies before sale

Here the crew is drilling down to bedrock on Tuesday to see if there is any hazardous materials hidden below the surface

I am told the developer plans to treat as Heritage Building – restoring much of the original ‘look’ of the building – thus restoring ‘freight doors’ instead of the newer bricks and window etc – the grey shed will be torn down – More later

	And I did not even mention the ‘fireworks’
	More later
