Prince George, B.C.- There will be a request this evening for Prince George City Council to approve giving Initiatives Prince George $150,000 USD (that's $155,279 CDN)to pay out the agreement with Horizon Air. The City had guaranteed to pay up to $400 thousand U.S. if the airline lost money on the P.G to Seattle flight. The flight was cancelled within 4 months, and the payout represents the City’s share of the guarantee.
Also on the agenda this evening, Council will be asked to agree to give the World Baseball Championship $100 thousand dollars for temporary seating.
Councillor Don Zurowski will present his motion calling for some closure on recent fires that have left “unsightly “ buildings in the downtown core. In particular, the building at 2nd and Quebec has been a burned out shell for more than a year. The B.& B Music site is a gaping hole at the corner of Third and George. “Disasters happen, however there needs to be closure to the unsightliness of the property” reads the motion.
The Mayor’s Committee on Seniors will present it’s semi annual report with 8 recommendations to make the city more friendly to seniors and to promote the health and well being of seniors.
The City’s new Healthy Food policy will be up for discussion, if passed, there won’t be any “super sized” anything at Civic facilities, nothing that’s labelled “jumbo” and vending machines will have to have at least a 50-50 mix of healthy and not so healthy items.
And Council will be asked to come up with $80 thousand dollars for half the bill of the preliminary design work for Boundary Road. The City and local land owners are expected to kick in $16 million which would be one third of the $48 million dollar cost of the roadway that will link highway 16 east to Highway 97 south.
