Susan Kikcio

Re: Wildflower Mural Project

Ms. Kikcio made a presentation to Council on the wall mural planned for the north wall of City Hall. The mural is in the designing phase and will consist of several 8’ x 4’ panels in tribute to recent community plays.

Funding has been received from the Vancouver Foundation, Community Foundation of North Okanagan, B. C. Arts Council, and various fund raising projects.

Frances Hatfield will design and oversee the project. She will be working in partnership with the Spallumcheen Band, A. L. Fortune School, and the Arts Council. Only top quality materials will be used, and they will be purchased locally whenever possible.

Ms. Kikcio is seeking a letter of commitment from the City to provide funding, in kind, in the amount of $1500 to cover installation of the mural.

Moved by Concilor McCaig, seconded by Councilor Wejr to contribute, in kind, up to $1500 for labor to install the Wildflower Community Flower Project murals on City Hall.

NORD — July 5, 2002

Re: Mosquito Control

Discussion: The Spallumcheen Band has indicated that they wish to participate in exploratory meetings on this subject. As the city’s initial correspondence to NORD was not intended for consideration in 2002, another letter will be drafted requesting that the proposal be considered for 2003 budgeting.

Capri Gardens — July 2, 2002

Re: Penalties and interest on unpaid utility bill

Discussion: The City of Enderby does not send out multiple billings on one property. It is standard procedure to mail the invoice to the first person on title. Billings have gone to the same address in past years, and have been paid. Any penalty and interest will not be waived. A letter will be sent to Capri Gardens asking for confirmation that the billing be sent to the second person on title.

Mayor Dale

Community Charter workshop was held on Friday, July 12 with Mayor Dale, Councilor Phillips, and Administrator Maggie Knox in attendance. A letter is being sent to U.B.C.M. addressing the issues discussed.

U.B.C.M. is seeking issues to discuss at the Small-talk Forum during the convention. Issues to be suggested are Bylaw Courts and Gaming Revenue Share.

Councilor McCune and Councilor Wejr attended a Finance Committee meeting with the Administrator and Deputy Treasurer this day to discuss the Financial Reports. The Administrator prepared a report explaining the variances between the Revenue and Expenditure Report. It was requested that narratives accompany future Financial Reports.

The Administrator was directed to restrict the issuance of accounts payable cheques to once per month if can be accomplished without incurring late payment penalties and interest.

Councilor McCune has requested that the Councilors retain the Report and narrative for use in the budgeting process.

Councilor Vetter has requested that the Cost Summary Report include all suppliers.

Echo News Reporter Jackie Pearase brought it to the attention of Council that the City of Enderby gardener has been spraying the downtown sidewalks in the mornings, and also the grass in front of the Library and Museum. In light of recent water restrictions, she feels that the City is not setting a good example.

This issue will be passed to the Superintendent of Public Works to address with the contractor.

Moved by Councilor McCaig, seconded by Councilor Wejr, that Council hold a meeting closed to the public in order to discuss one or more topics under Section 242.2 of the Local Government Act.
