June 22^nd	Council Meeting
	Boring

Bedard absent – seemed to be gone most last summer
Supposedly miss 3 meetings and you are out—we’ll see

How to destroy public interest ---

I see most the significant discussions to be wedged into July 6^th meeting --- poor planning? Or just game plan?

Meeting only lasted 1 hour – but how long was the in-camera session?

Overview:

Presumably most the decisions made in-camera – and we are just being let on what least controversial – or perhaps there actually is nothing more important to tell the community other than what meetings the Mayor attended in last week, etc Interestingly enough the automated voting machines generated most discussion—with Thorkelson putting jobs over time saving Plus the appointment of Nellie Cheng to PREDC ‘development officer’ hints of an interesting change in directions (more later) And which dumping company is not paying up at the local dump—more later

I will work this up later in week	A large document on-line and print copies available from ‘front desk’ = Development Services

So which company shorting the City? – more later

More later	Some actual discussion – led by Thorkelson – and Kinney supports in the vote – but no one else

There is something ironic in Joy & Jack talking ‘sustainability’ --- wasn’t it last Council meeting they were advocating local jobs over sustainability?	Sustainable Fisheries & UFAWU agenda
	Added item – presumably from the Community to Communities Forum held (behind closed doors) last week --- a hand out was given at meeting – more later

Outstanding Council Initiatives Update

Most the real info – and even innovative thinking was here in a hand out given at end of meeting – more later
