For some, tonight's session might offer up an opportunity to bring the public up to date on what discussions took place from the annual North Central Local Government Association meetings held in Dawson Creek last week.
Through his Facebook page, Mayor Lee Brain made note of the delegation that represented the city at the gathering which brings together municipal politicians and city staff to discuss shared issues of the North.
There's no indication on the agenda for tonight that an update will be offered up, but in the past attendance at such functions has resulted in a short snap shot of some of the highlights.
What is on the Agenda for tonight however is a look at the final Financial numbers for 2016, with the delivery of the 2015 Audited Financial Statements for the year.
That report offers another opportunity for council members to ask questions of city staff on behalf of the public to help make sense of the range of numbers and different categories and to highlight areas of particular interest or concern.
Council will also receive a correspondence for Action from Joanne Finlay, an Aboriginal Family Support Worker at Roosevelt Elementary and Pacific Coast School.
Two road closure recommendations make up part of Monday's to do list, it's also noted that the Mayor will provide for another Housing Committee update.
The full review of the evening ahead can be found from the Agenda for the Regular Council Session for Monday, May 9, 2016.
Council will also host a session at 5 PM closed to the public, to address items related to:
personal information about an identifiable individual who holds or is being considered for a position as an officer, employee or agent of the municipality or another position appointed by the municipality; and the acquisition, disposition or expropriation of land or improvements, if the council considers that disclosure could reasonably be expected to harm the interests of the municipality.
