Tonight's Prince Rupert City Council session features many elements, ranging from a Public Hearing on a proposed hotel development, to a presentation on community energy as part of the Committee of the Whole Process.
As well in addition to their regular Council themes, a Closed session will take the membership behind closed doors at 5 PM
The Public Hearing related to the proposed modular hotel development on Park Avenue will be open to the public at 6 PM.
The Regular Session features a number of reports and resolutions for Council's consideration, including a report on the proposed placement of a cellular communication tower within city limits.
The City's CFO Corinne Bomben will deliver the May Variance report, while Corporate Administrator Rosa Miller will relay a resolution from a recent Closed session, as well as to deliver a report outlining the details towards a request from Ecotrust Canada for a letter of support.
The City's contract planners from iPlan will outline the scope of the bylaw requirements and rezoning themes towards the Park Avenue hotel proposal
And the Corporate Administrator will return to present the fourth and final reading of the new Recreation Fees and Charges Amendment Bylaw.
A chance for council members to share any reports, questions or make any inquiries will bring the evening's work to an end.
As outlined above, it being a Committee of the Whole night, the city's elected officials will be able to learn more on the theme of Community energy initiatives, that from a presentation tonight from Graham Anderson with Ectorust Canada.
As we noted earlier, with the Council members now having returned to in person Chamber Council sessions, the public as well can now attend the public sessions, though attendance remains limited and social distancing practices and mask wearing requirements will be in place.
Those with an interest in tonight's Public Hearing and council session can view the Live Feed from the City website, or on Cable Television from CityWest Cable Channel 10/310.

Council will also host a Special Council Session at 5PM, the meeting closed to public owing to two elements.
