Nelson Kinney had the right idea and departed
after passing of City Budget which was moved up on agenda to accommodate his
presumed birthday party |
|
But the real
‘business’ was the tabling of the 2009 Audit (which I will go into more
detail later) and the ‘untold’ story is the pro forma passing of amendments
to OCP – after ‘public input’ --- again return later |
|
I
count 30 plus changes made such as
‘boundaries adjusted’ to rezoned Industrial – or rezoned residential
to match current usage – and we (the gullible public) are assured everything
followed the ‘intent’ of policy – More later |
Let the
staff tell us what to do and we will stamp approval |
|
|
|
New digital map
much better detail – but what about the small zoning changes? Did Council
scrutinize these in-camera – or automatic pilot? |
|
|
Those
light yellow areas (residential) on new map says ‘Boundary changed to reflect
current use’ – this is where abuse could occur – now no need to rezone these
properties – owned by whom? – but resolution too poor to comment further |
|
After
some discussion put off till next September – presumably Ashley &
Thorkelson ‘busy’ and they will probably end up doing most the Council
participation – more later |
Waiting till
next September |
|
Probably
the ‘best’ item was Councillor Ashley ‘request’ that some kind of group be
set up to deal with local issues --- |
|
Gordon Payne
questioned if Municipality should be getting into discussion about pricing
booze --- Bedard reluctantly agreed with the motion so long as >$$ went to
prevention |
Probably
more discussion than topic merited |
|
|
|
And as Ashley
asked – yes if in the future we can provide the water – we can since only a
contract by port and presumably has to be renewed |
Seems to be
a technicality – Law requires a service provided by one ‘municipality’ within
another’s boundaries be given formal consent |
|
|
|
Because so
much done in-camera – not explained rationale for new audit format (nor even
mentioned) |
Key document
of the evening – Gordon Payne asks some questions BUT |
|
|
|
|
More Wednesday
