Council to Resume Public Hearing

By 250 News

The public hearing on several by-laws resumes tonight at Prince George City Council. At the last meeting, the session  went on so long, Council agreed to keep the hearing open and resume  the discussion this evening.

That hearing  is looking at  

• the new regulations for pawn shops and second hand dealers,
• changes to the zoning bylaw which would include the new restrictions on river lot development ( see previous story)
• bylaws pertaining to “vehicles for hire”,  
• flood plain regulations, and
• the regulation and licensing bylaw.

Council will also be asked to approve a deadline for an “Alternate Approval Process” so the City can borrow nearly $7.18 million dollars through three different bylaws for a variety of projects including the Cemetery mausoleum, Waste water treatment centres, and the water main extension from BCR -Danson to Ferry Avenue

The suggested deadline for the collection of 5535 signatures saying they oppose one or more of the bylaws is 5 p.m. May 14^th.

Council will also be asked to look at the funding options for the construction of the Heritage River Trail -Highway 16 underpass . That is the project which bids have come in $360,000 higher than the budgeted amount.
