The Annual Report and Gordon Howie’s
Council Inititavives update had all the ‘news’ or information (other than
saving Chief Electoral officer a few hours work by not having manual vote
counting ) |
|
|
Service
Review? |
|
This
could be really important – but have heard little about it – except some
musing abut how to do it a few
meetings ago |
|
|
700T$
subsidy by those who don’t fly for those that do |
|
Airport
Ferry remains a problem |
|
|
There
was some talk of buying the BC Ferry Albion – but I am told it does not have
the proper ramp for Rupert dock – plus is as old as our ferry – so nothing gained
age wise --- meanwhile there seems to be little interest in approaching this problem
|
|
|
|
Civic Center
complex |
|
While
I will document this better later – I suggest we pay more for the Civic
Center than for Roads locally – and in some ways it is becoming a private
club---like the Golf Course |
|
|
I
would suggest at the minimum Rupert needs a ‘Recreation Committee’ overseeing
the facilities (last one was ended during the golf course controversy) --- or
consider privatizing the whole thing -- -- Some tell me that can’t get ice time
for public use as Rampage taking up all the time etc – needs some mechanism
for resolving these type issues --- meanwhile I see in the Howie notes that
more bleachers being sought by ‘fund raising’ – last time taxpayers paid 30T$
via a grant for what was left over after the ‘fund raising’ completed --- need
a committee |
|
|
|
And what is
that 342T$? |
|
Are
we paying for those buses that ferry around cruise ship passengers every Thursday?
--- This is 2008 payments from the SOFI documents -- |
|
|
I
mention this because in the Howie letter it talks about the Green Team 2 ----
err a Task Force – my point here that we never hear about how much energy the
City uses –for heating and gas etc --- one would expect strict reductions as
part of city Green Plan --- we’ll see – more later |
|
|
|
Tourism
season again |
|
Many
make themselves right at home--- I will argue later in week that the
Thorkelson motion to Council about community monitoring etc – has lot to do
with the sporties coming in and removing so many fish – many of which are
simply thrown over board when something larger caught (halibut) ---- but it
also speaks to community control of fisheries – seemingly a good thing – but highly
contentious --- most ‘fish’ merely transiting ‘our waters’--- more later |
|
More on in
camera meetings etc |
