Council meeting Monday

Computer problems

From the debates---

 

 

I am replacing my server – so may be off line for Wednesday etc

More signs of the time

The large number of candidates makes for an interesting menagerie of signs around town --- lucky that few wind storms this time

Got to get that picture

I thought the debates locally did not work well --- The opening speeches too much time spent answering questions --- would have been better to let the panel ask

 McDonalds repairs

Here the menu sign is being placed using a tractor – while the drive through not open yet – the lobby is --- I hear the renovations will take until May 22nd

And across town – the Tim Horton sign put back up

Took lots of machinery – but hopefully will be a ‘permanent’ fixture now

Oliver’s Market ‘closing’?

Well maybe not --- looking to bring in produce, etc from ‘up river’ – but ‘farmers’ in the Terrace area not set up to produce for the Rupert market too --- thus unwilling to commit to wholesale--- but if arrangements made----

Rules for everyone --- or just the non-elites?

Typical PR

Here is a backhoe parked for days on 1st Avenue --- who cares if only 2 hour parking? Not Bylaw enforcement – but I have been told of people who had their equipment parked in their own driveway and City ordered to remove --- ‘we only respond to complaints’

First salmonberry flower seen for the season

Once I get the new computer up and going will try to   ‘re-view’ the spring flowers etc

 

 

I will return to this later – Is it a loophole in the legislation that City can use ‘flow through’ donations – wile issuing a tax receipt?

 

Revenue Canada told me that one could not get a tax receipt if directed where the $$ was to be spent --- note the fine print on the City receipt --- puts onus on filer

More later

Another City Boondoggle???
