Upcoming Week in Williams Lake Politics

In the week coming up in Williams Lake Politics:

1) Tuesday, April 7th - City of WL Council (Regular Meeting):

a) 2009 Budget with a 2.5% tax increase being proposed - If Council passes this budget, that would be in my mind, a betrayal to the business and residential community. Neither community can not afford, for 2009, an increase to their taxes. If service cuts are required, at least temporarily for 2009, then so be it. The Public Consultation Meeting required under Section 166 of the Community Charter (Local Government legislation) is on Tuesday, April 14th at 7:00pm in Council Chambers. The Budget Documents are here

b) DP/DVP's for Aviator Hotel (by Laughing Loon) - Staff are proposing the previous DVP/DP's issued for this Hotel be rescinded and new ones be issued, subject to a public input session on April 21st. More info here (DP #1-2009) and here (DVP #02-2009)

c) Local RCMP Detachment (Temporary) Data Entry Clerk Position for remainder of 2009 - Report is here

d) 2009 Fee-for-Service have been set by Council - Report is here

Have a great week
