This Wk in Local Gov't - Mar 25-29

With Spring Break/Easter Break upon us - some local gov'ts, in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, are meeting this upcoming week:

Quesnel- Commitee of the Whole meeting at 7pm Monday, March 25th in Quesnel Council Chambers (2nd Floor, 410 Kinchant St).  View the Agenda here.  Quesnel Council will hear from 5 different community groups and then consider 3 reports from their Staff concerning the 2013-17 5 year Financial Plan, Survey Results for South Quesnel Garbage Collection and 2013 BIA Levies.  As is practice - Quesnel Council will not be able to make decisions but make recommendations to be considered at a future Quesnel Council meeting

Williams Lake - Committee of the Whole meeting at 6pm Tuesday, March 26th in the Rick Hansen Boardroom (WL City Hall Basement - 450 Mart St).  View the Agenda here.  Williams Lake Council will hear from Lance Marshall concerning water/sewer services for his property at 44 Woodland Dr (note - WL City Staff do not support his request in light of discussions for water/sewer services for all Woodland Dr residents).  As well, Council will consider Staff reports concerning:

a) new Brand for the City
b) Backyard Chickens/Bee Hives - note, the last time I wrote on this, readers were generally supportive of this in the City

c) Proposed RV Park for 1400 Broadway Ave South (by old Crescent Heights Elementary).  Staff are asking if Council wishes to dedicate Staff time for this.  I oppose this as the current configuration of Broadway Ave in this area would not be able to handle traffic load that RV Park, even on a summertime basis, would bring into an area that already suffers from high traffic load due to McDonald's, especially in the summertime with traffic rolling through...

d) Proposed Road Closure Bylaw for 1707 Signal Pt Rd.  Staff are recommending the request be rejected


As is practice - Williams Lake Council will not be able to make decisions at this COW Meeting but make recommendations to be considered at a future Williams Lake City Council meeting
