There were representatives from both Walmart and Extra Foods at the meeting via zoom who had sent requests to Flin Flon City Council on having both their properties reassessed.
Both parties do not agree with the assessment and want City Coucil to reassess the properties. Council denied the appeals and now both parties will take their appeals to the Provincial level.
Nevada Danis the Manager of the Victoria Inn was on hand to question the Accommodation tax being raised from 5 to 7%. Danis is concerned with the increase that it may affect her business and it may end up being to expensive for guests to stay at her hotel.
Council commented that there is an agreement in place with other short term rentals in both Thompson and The Pas, but will definitely consider the Victoria Inn’s concerns very seriously.
The City of Flin Flon has also waved the rental fee for Community Futures Greenstone to hold their Candidate Speed Dating Event next Tuesday October the 13th.
Council also wanted to remind residents about the Municipal Election coming up on October the 28th and let everyone know that all the polling stations will be located at Council Chambers. For anyone in assisted living there will be mobile polling stations set up at the Flin Flon General Hospital, Rotary Court, Legion Housing and Hemlock housing.
