WL Council Business - Oct 2nd

For those in Williams Lake - your WL City Council will be meeting in a special Committee of the Whole on Tuesday to consider the following items:

a) Property Tax Exemptions in 2013 - read here (General) and here (Church Properties)

Editor's Note -- in the last number of years, local resident John Pickford has openly questioned if the WL Golf and Country Club needs a property tax exemption given it is a private club and not necessarily a "public recreational facility" and given there is Bell-E-Acres and other local golf courses that offers access to golf opportunities to the general public.  Finally - I wonder if the local property tax exemptions guidelines should be tightened to "non-profits" only, in addition to the statutory property exemptions mandated by the Community Charter.  Thoughts??

b) New 'Request for Proposal' Scoring Sheet - read here
c) At the request of WL Council - the City of WL Administrator B. Carruthers makes a suggestion for renowed parliamentarian Eli Mina to come to Williams Lake for a workshop on parliamentary procedure and other related matters at a cost of $4,000 which would be paid for from the remaining funds of Council's travel budgets, assuming Council doesn't plan any more travelling between now - Dec 31st.  Read here
