This Week at City Hall

I'm leaving St John's tomorrow morning so I'd better find out what the heck I'm coming home to....

Tuesday, June 16

Public Works Committee (4 pm): Considering a bylaw amendment concerning weeping tile discharge and the McCarthy Wastewater Forcemain replacement project. And, big news: the consultant's final report on Waste Plan Regina will be before the committee. Update: The administration recommendation on the Waste Plan report is to table it until 2010 so that public consultation can be conducted on it this fall.

Wednesday, June 17
Executive Committee (11:45 am): Receiving a report from the Regina and District Labour Council. Also looking at funding for anniversary events, a report on Canada Day, he 2008 Out-of-Scope Short Term Incentive Plan, and a review of the committee structure.
Community and Protective Services Committee (4 pm): Considering the planing framework for the Recreation Facilities Plan 2010-2020, cemetery maintenance standards, indoor arena fees, and the new Regina Animal Bylaw. There are also two transit-related items that look particularly interesting: the changes to Sunday service will be considered as well as the outcome of the now-complete Campus Express pilot project.

As always, you can download full reports and agendas on the city website.

The new Animal Bylaw will stamp out the utterly harmless advent of urban chicken coops in Regina. Go to the meeting, call your councillor: Do it for the chickens!

Personally, I'd rather keep goats than chickens. Either way, banning urban livestock does seem unnecessary and shortsighted. I mean, if a day comes where urban livestock is more than just fun and faddish (because say the oil's all gone and the only way to get meat in town is by trapping squirrels and cats) do we really want our bylaw officers going door-to-door in a meat-hungry Regina? We've all seen Delicatessen, right?

But then, the bylaw is also supposed to address licensing and fine exemptions for People for Animals in Saskatchewan Inc so they can better deal with the feral cat situation. That at least sounds like a good idea.

There is to be no eating of cats. No, no, no.
