Where are you finding this Jo? When I look on the council calendar, it still says there’s no agenda for the may 21 meeting.

It’s hidden from anyone logging in from Seguin. Kidding of course. I am on the Town’s email list for announcements and council related materials. Contact the Town to get on the list. I find that it’s easier to be fed the material rather than go and hunt for it. It acts as a reminder to read it and prepare a post. With the long weekend the folks at the town office perhaps were tight for time and forgot to post it up. Let me know if you need the full package and I’ll send you a link to where I have it saved in the cloud.

Thanks. I was really just curious about item 5.1, the deputation re the anchor. I was wondering what the concerns could be?

So was I. The only information provided in the council package was that it was scheduled. You’ll need to tune in to the meeting on YouTube if you want to find out.

HI Joe,
Just checking… Scott Scarrow who is on our Granite Harbour Board told me that a recommendation from Peter Brown on our letter seeking town garbage service was going to Council tonight.
I don’t see it here … can it just be added?
Also, Doug McCann told me that a senior staff would be sending out a recommendation to other senior staff looking for comment and that would would be happening prior to it being returned to Council …
Can you remind me on process… if not listed here… then not at Council?
Thank you! Lynne

Staff and Council Members are best acquainted with protocol. Here is my working understanding:
1. The council package agenda items are usually finalized about Tuesday/Wednesday the week before the meeting and issued on Thursday or Friday.
2. Items for Council consideration and action are presented as reports and recommendations (R&R). I suspect these take at least a couple of days to prepare.
3. Things can be added to the agenda and this results in the issuing of a revised agenda. I have not seen a revised agenda for this evening’s meeting.
so it could just be a matter of timing. Sending a letter one week and getting an R&R on the agenda for next meeting agenda is ambitious, especially if it is not time sensitive. If Peter Brown says it will be presented to council assume it will be, sooner or later. While this may be important to the Granite Harbour folks people it doesn’t seem to be an urgent matter.
