90 Days to End of 2011-14 Term

Ninety (90) days from today - the 2011-2014 Local Government term will terminate.  The remaining items on the Agenda for most local governments are:

* Attend 2014 Union of BC Municipalities Convention
* 2015 Property Tax Exemptions (approved by bylaw)
* Commence 2015 Budget Discussions
* Williams Lake/CRD: Nov 15th Sam Ketchum Pool Referendum
* Quesnel/CRD: Progress towards 2015 Construction of new Arena #1 in downtown Quesnel

There may be the odd 'one-off' issue but the 5 primary issues, as listed above, will be the ones that all local governments will be focused on between now and Nov 30th in addition to the incumbents seeking to hang on their offices on Nov 15th while challenges make the argument to local voters why they deserve a shot at being a local elected official.
