a) Review of Mobile Vendor program - read here
b) Director of Municipal Services (K. Goldfuss) to report Ottawa prepared to give funds to Williams Lake to resurface 5,000 of the 7,000 feet of the WL Regional Airport runway and that has raised concerns among some of the major users of the WL Airport. Read here
c) WL City Staff to request $95,000 from the Water Fund in 2013 to replace a water main at 134 Yorston - read here.
Editor's Note - I wonder if the time has come to implement, like Quesnel, a dedicated tax levy for a yearly replacement of all infrastructure with an accompanying work plan that prioritizes *all* infrastructure by way of Priority 1,2,3 rather than a 'piecemeal' approach like many municipalities take to infrastructure renewal because of fiscal restraints imposed on these municipalities (wages, etc) and not because they don't want to invest in their infrastructure
d) Revised 'Whistleblower' Policy - read here
Editor's Note -- I received this comment this morning about the Revised 'Whistleblower' Policy:
I see the city of Williams lake hasn't changed its policy on keeping everything internal and covered up: their revised Whistleblower policy is a joke. who in their right mind would come forward with an allegation of wrongdoing by management or council when the process allows for management and council to determine if it was malicious or done in bad faith?? just like the RCMP,they'd be investigating themselves! And we all know how that turns out. Not guilty! Kangaroo court! Obviously Council has learned nothing from the corruption that was exposed by city auditors in May 2012. The message is clear ... keep your mouth shut!e) 'New Prosperity' letters from TNG/Friends of Fish Lake. Both ask WL Council to withdraw/refrain from publicly endorsing 'New Prosperity. Read here (TNG) and here (Friends of Fish Lake). I don't expect that these letters will dissuade WL Council from publicly advocating for the 'New Prosperity' project

Your appraisal of Quesnel's infrastructure model should be checked. It not as you say.
Corruption exposed by auditors??!! Making things up is not a comment. I'm shocked you allowed this Steve.....makes your page look like a joke.
Anonymous #2 - I'm sorry you feel that way but it is the comment of one individual and I don't see any slander or libel involved. In fact, I received another comment "off-line" from another individual which I can't publish because it constituted "libel", in my view
