We See

City buses --- I saw long line ups at City Hall to purchase January bus passes ---- Lots of people depend upon those buses --- but gets little attention from council etc

Could be one of most significant issues of 2012

Public input??

 

‘Ownership and jurisdiction’ --- more info needed on water lots

For Rupert the CN Station and Kwinitsa

More than just iconic’ – could be the immediate future of PR Tourism – especially in days of sinking Titanic centenary

Area under discussion

Almost ‘story book’ that Rupert becoming (again) so dependent upon Rail Traffic for economy

Chance to celebrate Rupert’s history --- but also ‘lesson’ that depending upon China trade etc may not be our best ‘bet’ on future ---- better to keep our future options open --- thus again importance of CN station etc and tourism

Emphasis here on ‘jurisdiction’ and foreshore 

Again this goes back to founding of Rupert – when foreshores ‘granted’ --- but I will have to do more research

Not on the Agenda

I see the ‘Emergency Building’ as the main issue of 2012 to decide

I hear the Fire station is in worst shape – leaky roof etc

Still we need a broader discussion – Like discussion whether volunteer or full time fire fighters best for Rupert in 2012 with population 1/3 smaller than a few years ago

 

And we now have a smaller ‘complement’ of RCMP officers – used to have 32 --- now 25 or 26--- need the facts – more later

Looked like ‘paper’ or something on wires – which was removed

 

Good to have the crew in town before real damage done

All that wind and rain

Pineapple Express coming off Hawaii – little windy – but very mild for this time of year

A new process

Again time will tell

 

Description: CC_agenda_enhance_1

Presentations daily for groups explaiing why they require taxpayer $$

Strange to see such public services as the City Library lumped in with the Golf club and Tourism

 

And one would suspect the sale of half the Museum building should be covering the ‘mortgage’ --- so apples and oranges being compared??

Comparing PR Airport with City Hall in December

About 70% --- I am dubious that Airport gives much priority to daily emptying the rain gage ---

More after Council meeting

Pouring out booze --- best way to stop Vandalism etc is to catch the drunks etc early
