It was a short public council meeting, mainly to approve the loan amendment for the airport.
This bylaw was passed with councillor Thorkelson opposing the motion.
Her opposition was not to the loan itself however the process in which the loan was approved.
Councillor Ashley also noted her opposition to the process, however voted in favour of the motion.
Also approved was the cemetery fees bylaw and the utilities rate increase bylaw.
This means residents can expect approximately a $50.00 increase in their yearly utility bill.
It was noted that 25% of the waterlines in Prince Rupert are pre 1925 with an estimated 70 year lifespan.
The province is looking for input on restricting the amount of spending a municipal candidate can make on his/her campaign. The City will post the link on it's website. Comments are due by the end of January of this year.
Terrace is arranging more information meetings on the LNG projects and council will try and "piggy" back on this and have representatives come to Prince Rupert.
