That once a month opportunity to address concerns or ask questions Council members will provide for the start of the public portion of the Council night.
Once the Committee of the Whole session and public participation comes to an end, Council will settle in for a short agenda for the Regular Session.
Among the notes for the evening, a report on the Fraser Street Rehabilitation project, a request to borrow to pay for the new Fire Rescue Vehicle for the PRFD and the announcement of appointments to the Board of Directors for two local groups, the Prince Rupert Airport Authority and Tourism Prince Rupert.
Beyond those items, Council has little in the way of work indicated in such areas as Reports, Bylaws or petitions and delegations for tonight's session.
The full review of the evening ahead can be found from the Agenda Package for May 25.
The Committee of the Whole agenda for tonight can be reviewed here.
And while the public session is fairly light in material, Council will once again also sit in a closed session this evening starting at 5 PM .
The session that is closed to the public will consider: negotiations and related discussion respecting the proposed provision of municipal services that are at their preliminary stages and that, in the view of the council, could reasonably be expected to harm the interests of the municipality if they were held in public
