City forms partnership

Council voted unanimously, and somewhat apologetically, to twin with the community of Happy Valley-Goose Bay after hearing of deputy mayor Elisapee Sheutiapik's embarrassment when council deferred the motion while she waited to attend the twinning committee's first meeting.

Sheutiapik was in Labrador for a business conference at the same time the motion came in front of council. She was actually waiting by the phone for council's approval and when it didn't come, she had to turn down the committee's invitation to take part in discussions.

Shelter from the cold

Due to the extreme winter weather, council moved to have the city's administration department look into building bus stop shelters in particularly unprotected areas.

"I, unlike many other councillors, have been using the transit system since January," councillor Lynda Gunn said.

"So I know what it's like to stand out in the cold waiting."

Gunn made a second suggestion that some of the bus stop locations be moved to more appropriate spots, particularly those which are situated just beyond an intersection.

The city plans to seek corporate sponsorship to pay for the construction of shelters.

Bridges in need of repair

The city has contracted Dillon consulting to provide consulting services to improve three local bridges.

Dillon will be paid $35,000 to do the initial planning for repairs to the Apex, Road to Nowhere and Frobisher bridges.

Illegal construction stopped

The city's department of lands and planning discovered that construction of a small engine repair shop was under way without a valid permit in place.

As a consequence, a letter will be sent to a man identified as Mr. Martel offering him seven days upon receipt of the letter to reapply for a permit, or a stop-work order will be issued by the city.

Martel was able to produce a permit he obtained in 1999, but that expired two years ago.
