According to Assistant CAO Steve Gerlitz, council motioned at the July 19 meeting to send in a request for a meeting time.

Updated bylaw

Cemetery Bylaw 2085-16 got an update after remaining unchanged for several years.
Changes include updated definitions of burial permits, markers and monuments, decorations and proper receptacles. The associated costs of plots are also under review. The bylaw received first reading.

One house valued at $143,980 and one manufactured home valued at $16,920 will go to auction to recover outstanding taxes unless the taxes are paid prior to the sale date.
