The first of two Prince Rupert City Council sessions for June, held on Monday evening, generated a fair bit of news, as well as the release of the last of the Financial themes for the Budget period, with the annual release of the Statement of Financial Information documents.
Our notes on those themes made for two of the five most read items for the week, while a pair of other City Council themes also cracked our weekly list of five for review.
Those featured a look at the welcome to Sergeant Gerald Walker, the new Officer in Charge of the Prince Rupert Detachment of the RCMP, as well as the progress for a Petition of concern from community residents over the level of service options at Prince Rupert Regional Hospital.
The other note of the list of five featured a look at a pair of high profile incidents addressed by the front line members of the RCMP in the city on Thursday.
However, when it came to the top item of the week, the financial review offered up by the release of the Statement of Financial Information was far and away the most read of the week's items.
Civic Payroll increases to sixteen million dollars-plus in listings of the 2021 SOFI Report -- The Annual release of Civic Financial information came with this week's City Council Session, with our look at the payroll review for civic staff and employees among the most read of the four statements released as part of the full package from CFO Corinne Bomben. The full Review of all of the documents from Council Salaries, to the Spending on Supplies and Services related to the 2022 SOFI can be reviewed from our Council Budget archive page.

That article was followed by:
