I am thankful that things were slow over the Christmas break because I am
right back to a very full schedule again.
Council, through Public
Works, is actively pursuing a solution to the sewage lagoon problems which
we believe is caused by putting septage in with the sewage. No longer will
any dumping of septage be allowed to take place into our sewage system
and, therefore, we need to find a suitable dumping location. A study has
been commissioned to provide us with options for the disposal of septage.
Hopefully we will then have no re-occurrence of the terrible odour problem
at the sewage lagoon.
We were all shocked to
learn of the closure of court services in Revelstoke effective June 1,
2002. I have sent a letter to the Attorney General expressing our concern
over the necessity for travel as we live in a rather isolated location. As
a Council, we are also concerned about the effect on policing and policing
costs. It seems these kinds of cost-reduction solutions are very
short-sighted!
Please stop by City Hall to
have a look at the beautiful art work provided by the efforts of the
Revelstoke Arts Council. It really brightens up the stairwell to Council
Chambers and administration offices.
