At their meeting last night Flin Flon City Council accepted the Fire Chief’s report for May indicating there were ten fire calls during the month.  Protective Services Chair Councilor Ken Pawlachuk praised the Flin Flon and Hudbay Fire Departments for their quick action at the Crepes and Grapes fire on Main Street adding it could have been a much more serious fire if they hadn’t controlled it quickly.

  Council passed on first reading their financial plan for this year which sets the residential and commercial mill rates, a rate for the business tax and special tax for the equipment replacement reserve fund and general reserve fund. The bylaw requires two more readings before the plan is adopted by Council.  They are still waiting for a decision from the Municipal Board on their request to extend the special levy for police and fire services. That decision will affect their financial plan.
