At their meeting last night Council passed on first reading a bylaw to ensure the safety and health of all residents accessing rental housing in Flin Flon to be known as the Rental Housing Bylaw. It notes the City of Flin Flon believes that in order to ensure that Flin Flon is an attractive and healthy place to live certain minimum standards must be met and a system of mandatory registration of rental units and regular inspections appears to be a most effective way of ensuring safety and healthy accommodations for all Flin Flon residents.

They passed on first reading a bylaw to authorize the establishment of a Museum Board and to provide regulation for their conduct.  It spells out the responsibilities of the Board to be made up of seven citizens at large appointed by City Council and one member of City Council.

They passed a resolution to enter into an agreement with the Flin Flon and District Environment Council for the maintenance at the Flin Flon landfill for the period of January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 and a resolution to approve the Snow Clearing Policy for the City. Council also agreed to support an application by the Flin Flon Junior Bombers to Manitoba Sport, Culture and Heritage for a grant under the Art, Culture and Sport in Community Program for just under 25 thousand dollars for upgrades at the Whitney Forum.

We’ll have more from the meeting on tomorrow’s news.
