Bylaw Readings Dominated Tuesday Nights Flin Flon City Council Meeting.

 

At the meeting Council passed on final reading a bylaw that requires the clear marking of civic addresses. This was requested by emergency services to make it easier to find homes in emergencies as many homes don’t have numbers on them.  The bylaw was amended to require numbers that are at least four inches high.

             

Council also passed on final reading a bylaw to adopt the provisions of the Manitoba Emergency Measures Act and approve and adopt the updated Flin Flon Emergency Plan.

             

Council passed on first reading an amendment to the Traffic bylaw that affects mainly parking tickets.  Instead of going to court to challenge your ticket the change allows you to go to a hearing with an adjudication officer.  Administrator Mark Kolt noted the change was made by the province since the court system was not really set up to handle such small amounts.  He said very few tickets are challenged and in the past those have been resolved before going to court.  The bylaw requires two more readings.

             

And Councilor Guy Rideout gave advance notice of a bylaw change coming up that will prevent the long term storage of vehicles, trailers, campers, boats and similar items on the street.  He says the main concern is for snow removal so the proposed bylaw would be in effect from October to April.
