From Leaky roofs, to Pensions, to
Dress Codes (showing proper respect) |
|
First look – over
view at a long meeting that was at times mind numbing ----- |
|
|
Presentations
at COW |
|
|
Dave Smith
on Retirement and security |
|
More details later
– Campaign with basic 3 points: --- Doubling CPP, immediately, > OAS etc –
plus pension ‘insurance’ fund etc --- See the CLC
web page |
|
|
Joanne
Finlay gives Lester Center presentation |
|
A
long drawn out review of what needed from City to apply for an Arts grant
that is soon to expire – more later |
|
More later I also tried to
bring up that could not just wag finger at people about Recycling, but land
fill must impose fines etc if cardboard brought – or video monitors ‘hidden’
under scrap lumber in dumpster etc --- But Jack more interested in my hat, or
my phrasing into a proper ‘question’
– than issues and substance |
Questions
from Public |
|
Jean Martin and
saving PR Recycling – Mussallem was patronising arguing needed save $$$ --- I
tried to bring up that not paying Koning 75$ per hour at SQCRD for 3-4 months
would save the 20-24T$ -- I was told to take off my hat ‘and show proper
respect’ or some such – even Joy gave me a ‘dressing down’ |
|
|
Then there
were the Development Permit formalities |
|
It
was only later that I see that 1402 2nd West and the new
Transition House are actually behind each other – arrow and base of arrow ---
chance meeting at a ‘consultation’ |
|
|
I will
return to this later as meeting brought up some good points on both |
|
Apparently
in 2008 the next door neighbour had objected to an earlier version of 1402
adding a second floor --- details later |
|
|
Bars &
Hotels may get a break in Utility Fees |
|
Mussallem announced
that would not be done at this meeting but to be discussed next time – so this
fellow need not remain through the meeting etc |
|
I have not
gone into the l-o-n-g discussion about Museum request for property tax
exemption etc – later |
Like I said
– mind numbing at times – and by the end only Monica and I remained in
‘audience’ --- everyone else showing good sense and going home |
