Oh ya, now Bedard worried about lines on highway in her drive into Rupert– every meeting we hear another one
New faces
show up to interact with Council --- And their concerns heard before the more
mundane staff presentations of Budgets and Official Community Plans etc |
|
One
questioner even noted the ‘plush’ seats Council uses – while mere plebes sit
on wooden benches (one side does have cushions) |
|
Committee of Whole
questions came from 2 business owners about youth and downtown vandalism—Plus
a suggestion by Joe Viscount to re-start the Recreation Committee to give
citizens more role --- And Charlotte Rowse needs help cleaning up show
windows in vacant stores 3rd Avenue so art work can be displayed
--- All these were most significant part of meeting and will be dealt with
tomorrow |
First The
COW meeting |
|
Note there was an
in-camera meeting afterwards that was not part of original agenda, nor the additions
--- while question its legality – I suspect it was to get questions answered
that came up during the meeting (More later) |
|
|
Before going
into the questions – here is a quick overview from the agenda |
|
Budget
and changes made to different fees schedules was the main time consumer –
more later |
|
Later |
Interesting
discussions about Airport Ferry, City Transit and Recreation facility |
|
|
|
Note the Community
Gardens area (yellow arrow) Note too ‘run down’ ball field |
This could
be one of more significant ‘events’ over longer term -- |
|
|
|
|
A
4plex (at 1426 Kootenay) and a 6plex (1428—blue square below) Seniors Housing
were given Development Permits --- |
|
Mavi Innovations
(tidal power) been to Council
last November – this time need
Council OK to look at setting up equipment at Watson Island – where could
‘heat’ mill etc – required because proximity mill’s infrastructure extending
from shore – as in figure below – see my earlier on Watson Isl |
Seal Cove
Airport Society? |
|
While the question
was routine – this group (which ‘runs’ Seaplane base facilities for City—yes
we own the land etc) has not been heard of in years (see my 2006 story) and all the same
questions remain—who is looking after City Interests? See my present uses circa 2006 for
overview |
|
|
Booze and
Rundown 3rd Avenue etc |
|
Left
is a ‘good news’ story – yes the fellow was drunk --- some family members
were trying to get him home, they told me– but the RCMP officer stopped and
offered to take him home for them --- good for RCMP |
|
More later
on clean-up and Bylaws etc |
While some repair – 3rd
Avenue etc still looking like a LA Slum according to some
