Peace River Town Council Regular Council Meeting: December 13, 2010

On the agenda for Monday, December 13:

Adoption of minutes, including those from a special Council meeting held on November 29 at the Belle Petroleum Centre, without staff present, where the decision was to appoint Renate Bensch as Acting CAO.
 
There is a public hearing on an amendment to the Land Use Bylaw to add two discretionary uses: "recycling depot" within the Mixed Commercial Residential District (C-R) and "indoor participant recreation services" under the Neighbourhood Commercial District (C-N) (this is a discretionary use under the C-R designation). There appears to currently be only one area of town with a C-N designation, but expanded residential development could lead to the creation of more of these districts. If the bylaw goes ahead, the way will be cleared for the Municipal Planning Commission to consider an application for a bottle depot at the former Ackland's building (behind the funeral home) and a "recreation service" in the North end where the bowling alley once stood.

There are four presentations to Council:
Don Good on what is probably his vision for changes in how taxation revenue is distributed (5:15)
The Mighty Peace Golf Course on assistance in funding improvements (6:00)
The Library Manager and I on the 2011 library budget (6:30)
The Oil Sands Sustainable Development Secretariat (7:30)
