Prince George, B.C. - The City of Prince George has the green light to borrow  nearly $12 million dollars.

On October 15th, 2007, Council granted first three readings to a bylaw that would allow  the  City to borrow $11,744,000.

The money would be split between several projects:

  • up to one hundred and eighty thousand dollars ($180 000) to acquire all such real property, easements, rights-of-way, licenses, rights or authorities as may be requisite or desirable for or in connection with the Cemetery Development; and
  • a sum up to two hundred and fifty thousand ($250 000) to acquire all such real property, easements, rights-of-way, licenses, rights or authorities as may be requisite or desirable for or in connection with the Downtown Street Lighting; and
  • a sum up to eleven million three hundred and seventeen thousand ($11 317 000) to acquire all such real property, easements, rights-of-way, licenses, rights or authorities as may be requisite or desirable for or in connection with the RCMP – New Facility; and
  • a sum up to twenty seven thousand ($27 000) to acquire all such real property, easements, rights-of-way, licenses, rights or authorities as may be requisite or desirable for or in connection with the West Bowl Snow Disposal Facility.

Hope they don't bite off more than they can chew.
Too late. They have bitten.
Wow...
Novembere hurry hurry and come before the drunken sailors put us in the poor house.

Cheers
Drunken sailors spend their own money. Doncha know?
Brace yourselves! The demands and the wish lists have been presented. Time for council to make some decisions. Do you think they have what it takes to say no to anybody? Or, are they willing to put their jobs on the line for their position? Interesting. Hope they take their responsibility's seriously. Chester
Borrowing Nearly $12 million OK? But then again being a captive "co-signer", it is not OK with me. Shoulda had a referendum. $12 million blank cheque to fritter away most likely. Any small portion of that dough going towards the resolvement of the Black Orchid lawsuit? Or will that be put under miscellaneous on the back page if there is any dough left over? After all, we all know how fast a twenty dollar bill disappears after you break it.
