Introducing
the issues: from windmills to remediation |
|
Hwy 37 as business friendly
|
|
For me the main
event was the Jedway Mine site remediation on QCIs --- meeting dealt with
some paperwork issues – but introduces the project to wider public --- this
long abandoned mine (closed February 1968) seems to be both a source of
serious contamination to streams etc – but also a potential mining
opportunity to rework the tailings – see the QC Observer story --- and the Google map image on Wikimapia article (More later)

Fighting
Windmills --- More Later |

Introduced the new Treasurer Ms Wick
– presumably now H Koning (center) stint will soon end (after the budget?)
and John Farell will take over as CAO |
On Budget issues
and future changes While not discussed
– seen as a budget discussion, thus dealt with either in-camera or later when
budget comes to public meeting – I will return to this but using the Gas Tax
for 1st Nations as ‘their share’ of dump closure seems dubious to
illegal --- Plus paying 400$/ electoral area rep for meetings (their budget?
Or will ‘they’ just dip into ‘Administrative Budget’ (thus mainly (75%) PR
taxpayers) more later |

Looks like a
long one with most the interest being on various presentations etc |
City Meeting
tonight |
|
|
|
More
delegations I
note in passing that there is no ‘Questions from Public’ --- which will be
first time in years – maybe decades (if proves to be the case) – but blame it
on me – I asked a real groaner of a question last COW meeting as I had
‘prepared’ an item that was dealt with in agenda pkg, so tried to come up
with another one during the meeting) |
