Budget Bylaws and Spring Cleanup Were Highlighted at the Council Meeting.

At last night’s Flin Flon City Council meeting Council passed on first reading bylaws related to their 2023 financial plan.  The bylaws set the mill rate for general purposes, school purposes and uncontrollable purposes, making a business assessment and levying of a business tax, setting a business fee of 100 dollars in lieu of the business tax, and setting the special services tax at 903 dollars. A public meeting to explain the details of their financial plan will be held on Tuesday May 16th at 6:30 in Council Chambers prior to second and third reading of the bylaws.

             

The City has announced the cancellation of tipping fees at the landfill from May 20th to June 4th adding City staff will provide regular garbage pickup only during this period.  The question was raised why there will be no spring curbside pick up this year noting not everyone has access to a truck to take their items to the landfill.  Mayor George Fontaine explained the city is down one million dollars from Hudbay’s grant in lieu of taxes and it is going to drop again in the future.  He says the pickup costs around 75 thousand dollars and takes three weeks of man time when the men are needed to work on water leak problems.  He noted they are opening up the landfill for two weeks later this month and are projecting to open it for two weeks in the fall. Residents at the meeting complained about garbage build up in some yards and were told to contact the Bylaw Enforcement Officer as there are bylaws that will be enforced.
