Garbage Rates Under Review

By 250 News

Prince George City Council will look at a request to increase garbage collection fees.

The report calls for  rate increases based on the size of the automated containers,  and will boost  rates by as much as $4.00 for the balance of this year, with further increases planned through to  2010.

Also on the agenda for this evening’s session, a request for a letter of approval in principle for the Metropolis development planned for 5^th and Quebec.  The developer wants to pre-sell the condos, but can’t do that without first having approval in principle of the project.

Looking towards economic diversification, there will be a presentation on “16-97” a project aimed at regional development through the joint efforts of 9 communities along highways 16 and 97.

There will be a public hearing for a rezoning application for College Heights at Cathedral and Ospika, plus a public hearing for a text amendment to the zoning for Costco to allow that store to  sell all terrain vehicles.

Delegations appearing before Council include the BC SPCA which will ask Council to enact a bylaw banning circuses that feature exotic animals.

Northern Health will be appearing to talk about reducing tobacco use in the north, and the City will look at a plan to deal with West Nile Virus.
