Councillor Wejr met with Frances Hatfield regarding the Mural for City Hall. Funds are running low and the mural will require an anti-graffiti finish to ensure easy cleaning and protection. Four gallons at approximately $100 per gallon are needed.

Discussion: Public Works Superintendent reported that he and Councillor Case have established an estimate of $1800 - $2000 for materials and labour to install the mural. This estimate does not include illumination.

Moved by Councillor Wejr, seconded by Councillor Case that the City provide funding for the purchase of anti-graffiti coating provided that the cost of coating and erection of the mural does not exceed $2,400.

Councillor Phillips

Councillor Phillips attended the Okanagan Regional Library Meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2002. The annual budget was passed.

Sidewalk on Sicamous has been received much needed repair.

The Community to Community forum went well. It was noted that the Spallumcheen Band is preparing an Emergency Preparedness Program. Administrator advised that the Band’s program is already in process and the terms of reference for the development of a new plan for Enderby, Armstrong, and Spallumcheen include the identification of issues where the Band and Municipalities may work cooperatively.

Administrator met with the Administrators of the Regional District of North Okanagan and the Spallumcheen Band as well as the contractor providing mosquito control in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. The cost figures presented were considerably higher than the preliminary figures obtained a few years ago. NORD will be studying the feasibility of the mosquito control program.

Public Works Superintendent met with Gerald Williams from Spallumcheen Band and walked the area for proposed expansion of the Riverwalk. This area is not picturesque, and would be subject to flooding. Extending the walk to meet with the Skateboard park is a more desirable route. Research for funding is underway.

On a motion by Councillor McCaig, the Regular meeting of Council adjourned at 7:25 p.m.
