Pro forma – discussion of Annual Report
(it’s the law) But also some actual
business and discussion – from rejecting voting machines to Atlin parking to
new zoning bylaw, DPA etc ---
Most significant for me was the new CAO reporting mechanism |
More later
These 3
items constitute about 50% of annual budget Citizen
oversight rejected for business as usual model |
Annual
Report |
|
I will return to
this later –annual report both a chance to see the 2008 audit, but also an
over view of ‘accomplishments’ and priorities from last year and present year
While my input was
answered in a point by point format (thanks to Councillor Bedard who was in
Chair) --- my main point was that ‘need’ more citizen control/ input into say
Parks and Recreation or Protective Services I also suggested
the Airport Ferry etc needs a different model as 2008 will have been highest
passenger numbers and still lost $746,032 (paid for by taxpayers) |

Zoning Bylaw
|
|
Zeno
Krekic gave long presentation about DPA, zoning etc --- there was some discussion
over whether to put off final reading until September when ‘everyone’ back
from vacations – because a potential business was reliant on zoning changes
decided to have public meeting on July 27th |
|
More later
Innovation was
to give map full island coverage instead of just down town – more later |
Most of this
is on the internet and easily
accessible |
|
Proposed Zoning Bylaw 3286, 2009 has been released |
|
|
German
Students and new Economic Development officer do the picture thing at the end
of meeting |

|
Different and significant
|
|
New
format to keep council ‘up to date’ on priorities etc Potentially
the most significant item on the agenda – as it allows overview of year – and
‘progress’ made to objectives But
then we would have to know what ‘Northern Health’ means – presumably done
in-camera – other than having meetings with Northern Health not discussed in
public meetings The
‘down side’ is that not sure if ‘Highway of Tears’ sign ranks up there with
‘Service Capacity Review’ --- |
