Monday's Prince Rupert City Council Session provided for a fair bit of news this week, and while the video archive has yet to be posted to the City's YouTube showcase as of yet, if the interest in our notes from Monday are an indication, the account of Monday may become one of the more popular of the archive items should it ever make it there.
The session featured a wide range of items of note, from a Budget presentation from the City's Chief Financial Officer charting the city's financial planning for the year ahead, to the near completion of a City Bylaw to address some of the rental housing concerns for tenants in the community.
Also making for some lively discussion from Monday was a look at how some of the Council members views bylaw enforcement at the moment, while a review of some of the major projects taken on by Council noted of some success for a few, a few setbacks for others.
Of the five items for review, only one did not come out of the Monday Session, that a welcome announcement for the School District of some funding for a number of projects at four of the city's publics schools.
However, by far the item that attracted the most attention was the course of discussion on civic bylaw enforcement in the city..
