City Council Meeting Notes from April 18, 2011


On the matter of Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure correspondence received, it appears that the matter of public transit is a costly item that many municipalities are dealing with province wide.    A suggestion was made to go to the Minister along with other UBCM members to raise concerns.

The Urban Deer Management Advisory Committee Sub-Committee – Deer Cull Strategy Report was received by Council.  Carmen Purdy responded to questions and noted that the Mule deer are considered the night shift, or problem deer, and the Whitetail deer are considered the day shift deer.  It seems that the focus of the cull will be on the Mule deer (problem deer) that are in certain areas of the city.  Councilor Whetham added that this is only one part of a five part strategy in dealing with the deer, and that it will be an ongoing process including monitoring.

The Engineering department submitted the Proposed 2011 Capital Paving/Infrastructure Improvements Program to Council.  Priority #1 roads are estimated to cost $2.3M.
