City Council Preview: Monday, October 21, 2019



Depending on how fast, or if they want to get to the television sets to follow the Federal Election returns, tonight's City Council session may not mark much more time than the one at the start of the month, with a fairly short Agenda up for review by Council members at 7PM tonight.

The evening starts off with a Committee of the Whole session, moving on to the Regular Council session and a pair of reports from the City Planner.

A request for letters of support by the Gitmaxmak'ay Nisga'a Society, some announcements from a previous closed session and a Zoning amendment request for a property on the city's west side make for the bulk of the work on the night.

The evening wraps up with Council Members offered the opportunity to raise in public forum, any items of interest or concern that they may have.

You can review the Full Agenda Packages for the Regular Council Session from the City Website Here.

The Notice of the Committee of the Whole Session can be found here.

Tonight also brings another Closed Council Meetings, with tonight's 5PM session closed to public with the City citing four sections of the Community Charter as to why they will Close the doors tonight.

(e) 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
