Tonight's work load begins at 6 PM when City Council hosts a Public Hearing towards consideration of the consolidation of lots at the corner of Sloan Avenue and McKay Street and a request for rezoning of the property.
When it comes to the Regular Council session, the evening opens with the much requested, somewhat long delayed presentation from officials at Norther Health who are anticipated to speak towards some of the health issues that City Council has received, as well as possibly to set the groundwork for the City's often noted plans to create a Health Advisory Committee.
As four Council Business a Variance Permit request for a property on First Avenue is the first order of business, followed by a report from the Chief Financial Officer to relay this years proposed distribution of Community Enhancement Grants.
The Council members will be asked to provide a letter of support towards the golf club's plans to renovate the Golf Course, with The Club seeking funding through Norther Development Initiative Trust.
Council will return to their work from the Public Hearing of earlier in the evening, with the decision on the progress for the proposed consolidation of lots.
