Golf Course Lands Plan Back Before Council

By 250 News

Prince George, B.C.- The draft plan for the  development of the  Prince George Golf and Curling Club lands will be back before City Council this evening.

Council had asked for the plan  to be  amended to exclude “auto mall” as a permitted use within the Regional Commercial land use area.  The Manager of Long Range Planning  will present a report which calls for that motion to be defeated, outlines the consequences of  removing auto sales from  the  plan and  urges the City to adopt one of four options.

The Winter Games committee will present an update and game plan for the  2015 Games.  The plan  calls for  a budget of $49,441,165 dollars which includes a  $3 million dollar contingency fund.  The presentation will detail where the City should be at various times over the next  four years leading up to the  games.

The Prince George, Air Improvement Roundtable  (PG AIR)  will  request $70 thousand dollars from the City  for the next year’s worth of operations.  That funding includes $30 thousand for  an “Air Care Coordinator.

Initiatives Prince George will be  presenting it’s three year strategic plan which includes a  detailed report on the successes over the past two years, and  plans for the next three.  The report  calls for a service agreement with the city that will see  the City pay $1.024 million dollars  next year.  Of that amount,  20% will be  spent on  efforts to  secure downtown development.

Council will be asked to  give  approval to  two alternative approval processes for the borrowinig of funds for  two different projects, one is  $3.894 million for the reconstruction of River Road, the other is  to borrow $758 thousand  for the Simon Fraser Bridge project.,
