This month's North Coast Regional District meeting in Prince Rupert will have some long term vision planning in mind, as Directors gather to begin the process of reviewing the Five Year Planning elements, as they head towards their final Budget deliberations of March 31st.
Towards that review, the NCRD is hosting a Round 1 Budget meeting this Saturday in Prince Rupert which is open to the public starting at 10 AM, it is the first of three such budget sessions with future meetings planned for February 23 and March 14.
Regional District meetings are held in the conference room of the Coastal Business Centre at 344 2nd Avenue West (across from the Ocean Centre)
The public is welcome to provide their feedback into the process during those three budget review opportunities, with documentation related to the propose Five Year plan available here, by way of a 126 page report.
Included in the report are financial statements and projections that offer up past and anticipated spending and revenue streams.

| There's just a bit over one month to go for Regional District's call for response to their Alternate Approval Process plans for funding Recycling Centre projects |
As we outlined last month, the members of Regional District chose the AAP approach towards their plans to seek authorization to borrow up to 500,000 dollars for the purpose of borrowing funds, over a 20 year period to complete upgrades to the Regional Recycling Facility.
The AAP process requires that more than 10 percent of eligible voters deliver a response to Regional District offices to force the proposal to a wider consultation process, which normally is through a referendum process.
The Deadline for residents to register their response on the AAP, if inclined, is Thursday February 28th.
