Busy Night for City Council

Monday, October 20, 2014 @ 3:59 AM

Prince George, B.C.- Should be a very busy night at Prince George City Council.

Council will receive a delegation from the Hart Highlands which will call for  grant funding to  support the  sewer upgrades as the City prepares for phase two of the installations.  The group will present a  series of documents  outlining the promises made  in the ‘70s to the residents.

The recent installation of the sewer connection  will cost each household  at least $26 thousand dollars plus  anywhere from $5 to $10 thousand to  connect to the  sewer system.

Also on the agenda, a petition from the friends of the Prince George Public Library, calling on Council to support  funding the renovation to the entrance of the library.  The petition carries more than 1300 signatures.

Council will be asked to approve the  allocations  for  2015  Centennial Celebrations, and dollars being  allocated from  the  myPG Social Development  fund.

$5K to $10k is way too much. If people are paying that , it would only be in an extremely difficult install or they’re getting ripped. The average install should cost anywhere from $1000 on the low side doing the excavation yourself, to $3,500. Most are paying between $2,500 and $3,500.

Just curious as to where the $5K to $10K figure came from.

Very interested to see what comes from this and hope they succeed. However, I have strong doubts.

Dont forget to add all the posturing that will happen to try to get our votes.. should be lots of grandstanding next few meetings before the election.

P Val yer right. They should sell tickets LOL.
