January 12th

Snow melts and Council meets

More on Council meeting tomorrow

The 2005 data was missing, but would have been warmer too

 

Predictions? Similar to January ’08 plus another week long Arctic outbreak of colder temperatures later in month

 

 

The Pineapple Express – wipes away the remaining snow --- Hooray

While at times the rain was coming down in torrents – still it washed away the white stuff and --- the really heavy rains seemed to have passed to the north of us using this NOAA graphic

Rupert Airport has not posted its total precip at the writing

 

 

Russell Gamble Gymnasium Bleachers --- here request given NTI for a grant required Council motion – but nothing said in the meeting about how much of the 247T$ actually raised – though we did learn that bleachers installed – that came in 2 containers – one from Asia and 2nd from mid US ---- plus no one knew for certain if old bleachers had been recycled – but thought were used for ‘flooring’ somewhere 

 

Zoning and DPA presentations

Zoning Web site – with Committee names and emails

DPA web site with publications list

A Power Point presentation shown by planner on both Zoning and DPA – I will write up tomorrow

 

 

DPA Stake holder meeting last Oct

DPA-- with links to OCP etc at end file

 

And Consultants DPA presentation end of this article in Oct

Much of the meeting spent discussing this and I will return tomorrow – council chose option 3 which was to go to public for their input on size lots etc for re-zoning purposes

 

See my earlier for background and see City DPA web site

 

 

 

Luckily this item was withdrawn – needed more information – (while I am guessing – what exactly is a ‘partnership’ with this group? --- presumably it would allow use City ‘charitable donations’ tax number --- or some such --- but what about liability??--- Good it was dropped for now

 

So far grants are ˝ of what given last year – some question about Chamber Commerce grant --- seems it was given – but perhaps they did not respond to a request for meeting by City --- details later

Other than updated/ new PREDC Web site – there was no elaboration on fate of PREDC --- and what will follow – though I noticed Council remained after meeting so I expect Mussallem meant to update them on what is in the works – more later

Some discussion of what is going on at pulp Mil etc – more tomorrow

 

 

 

More later ---  Jan 2008 looks coldest of this SST anomalies series 2009 might be moving out of La Nina conditions --- warming mid Pacific – more later
