September 21^st	Council meeting
	Going through the motions of being relevant

While there was more content to meeting than during summer --- a Mussallem council appears to be all about details with no big picture or vision

More later

Most the presentation was from northern Health’s web pages --- more later	Gordon Payne goes to other side of tables and gives a presentation on – communication
	In many ways this was the ‘highlight’ of the meeting – so you can guess there was not much substance --- but what does it tell us about a Mussallem Council? Community members in a health advisory committee were replaced by Council – and now we mere plebes are instructed how to get our message to our over lords at Northern Health

	With Hays statue looking on
	Note in this image that Councillor Thorkelson is missing --- thus no long discussions of the fishing season, nor allocation battles with up river 1^st Nations and Conservationists Meeting was over in an hour

	Four short presentations by those seeking tax exemption
	More on this later --- we will see if all the exemptions have to make a presentation

Both these moved to next meeting --- with no discussion

More later	Calling the Kettle Black
	I tried to ask a question about City’s strategy for reducing crime and vandalism during ‘Public Question Period’, but Mussallem was soon interrupting me --- seems he thought I was rambling with irrelevant information – and wanted succinctness --- now who is it that gives his trip itinerary item by item at end of meetings? – though this time he had pared it down to about 3 minutes of monotony
