City council has passed amendments to the water and sewer bylaws at what was a routine first meeting of the year for council Monday.
The two bylaws establish new flat monthly rates for water and sewerage system charges in the city. Both carried unanimously in three readings.
Also passing at Monday’s meeting was a bylaw to rezone a portion of land around 110th Street between Pioneer and 6th Avenue from a C4- Regional Commercial Development District to a C3- Arterial Commercial Development District. That was a carryover from a previous council meeting and second and third reading passed unanimously.
Also, a resolution was passed regarding interest charges at Twin Rivers Curling Club. The resolution called for the building commitment agreement between the Twin Rivers Curling Club and the City of North Battleford to be amended whereby the schedule to remit the $250,000 committed to the City be made in 10 annual payments of $25,000 commencing June 2016, and that interest charges of $438,000 be waived. It passed unanimously.
The City has appointed Richard Gibbons and Tim LaFreniere to the Development Appeals Board. They replace Jeff Baldwin and Ray Hickson on the board and their terms expire Dec. 31 2018.
Also, council was presented the list of resolutions that will come up at the 111th annual SUMA convention in Regina. Further discussion on the resolutions is slated for the city’s monthly Planning Committee meeting next week.
