Resolved:
a) That three-year Fee-for-Service agreements be provided to the following organizations with annual payments as follows:
Williams Lake Museum & Historical Society $29,000
Station House Studio and Gallery Society $12,000
Rotary Club of Williams Lake Daybreak (for Stampede Parade) $ 5,000
Williams Lake Harvest Fair $ 2,500
Downtown Williams Lake Business Improvement Association
(for Winter Lights and Stampede Street Party) $ 7,000
Horsefly Historical Society $ 2,000
Likely & District Chamber of Commerce (Cedar City Museum) $ 2,000
b) That the Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo Association not be awarded a Fee-for Service Agreement from the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture function, but that the Association be advised to apply for a project grant to support any arts and culture component of its programming that it decides to incorporate in any given year.
c) That a new Fee-for-Service agreement be created for the Canada Day celebrations in the amount of $1,500. This recommendation results from the difficulties experienced over the past two years since the former organizers of the event withdrew. The Committee felt that for this much valued annual event, the “ad hocery” of the past two years needed to be replaced by a longer term arrangement. The Committee would also suggest that, in view of their interest in last year’s event and its stimulating effect, the Downtown Williams Lake Business Improvement Association should be asked to consider incorporating it into their program along with the Stampede Street Party and the Winter Lights recommended above.

So basically Bischoff voted against everything then??
LOL..no wonder her Area D people have had enough of her. November can't come soon enough in Area D.
Thanks for your comment…
Of course, I'm sure you know that the next election in Area D is not until November of 2014
Meanwhile - as the Area D Alternate Director, I will be making an announcement with regards to my future political plans as it relates to Electoral Area D of the Cariboo Regional District in late Feb of 2014…
Stay tuned…
Steve
