The Bylaws say this
trailer should be paying water fee etc – but I suspect not --- hard for City
to know if an ‘empty’ suite etc used if allow some type usage pay schedule |

Above is the
Falcone house on 3rd Ave – will be sold |
Falcone
Estate settled |
|
From
the agenda Pkg: Mr Filippone Falcone passed away in 2001 leaving his estate
to the City – Will was challenged by relatives and Probate Court now settled in
favour of PR – 200T$ plus the house/property which City will sell. Monies to
be used for cemetery as requested by Mr Falcone --- hatched for new asphalt
where road extended to connect block CC to R Q L etc |

Will
this be the last year Rupert has the ANBT? Mayor
Mussallem remarked, he has known Mr Haugen for years and he knows nothing
Peter is associated with will lose $$ --- Given the logic of that observation
it makes $$ Sense for the ANBT to start looking to Terrace etc to host the
annual basketball tournament --- Making the host community the one which
presents the best Bid This ‘inevitable’
outcome may yet be prevented – more later See my earlier Racist hypothesis |
On Elite conversations |
|
Most of the
important stuff in Rupert seems to be settled by local elites – Mayor Lester
was famous for arranging candidates and winners for his City Councils – the
list would go out and the chosen ones were dutifully elected. Times change, as do
demographics, -- take the ANBT and its request for better deal for Civic
Center rentals. In Council’s debate it came up that ANBT had a 2009 surplus of
79T$ -- based upon one Councillors notes – thus given the precarious
financial situation of City did not seem justified to ‘help’ ANBT --- the $$
were before the 50T$ loss from last year’s games included I am told --- this
kind of thing would have been dealt with by elites discussing among themselves
--- Now simple solutions become much more complex --- And need something
better than C2C for local ‘problem solving’ given the new demographics etc |

This is a water
meter in a local laundry mat – the arrow points to the meter |
Water and
Sewer Rates |
|
As
I have written before
the meter rates are (I’ve heard) kept low --- I have also argued that the water, sewer, waste
utilities fees have been used to keep the tax rates lower --- The community
should have a more thorough discussion about rates and the monies generated –
serendipitously the same 2007 Rates Bylaw set the fees for using the Civic
Center, etc – allowing a ‘special price’ for ANBT to be put into legislation
– at least we should have the discussion |
|
I heard this
fellow actually ask the people inside open door if they got any of the smoke
last time – but it is not there the smoke was going |
During the Nuisance
Bylaw discussion Thorkelson asked, ‘But would the City enforce its own
Bylaw?’ |
|
Usually
it seems to depend upon who is involved – some people get charged immediately
while others seem impervious – left is a local business burning fresh tree waste
|
|
|
Some people
are more important than others |
|
The
usual come back is that either ‘we don’t have to enforce our own bylaws’ – or
‘We only respond to a complaint’ ---
An
hour later the area filled with smoke – especially up on 4th East |
