A newly formed civic action group, People for Public Infrastructure, will be taking their concerns over the future of civic infrastructure to City Hall, with the organization noting in an update that they will be seeking opportunity to present to Prince Rupert City Council at an upcoming Council session.

The Power point presentation that they make note of above can be accessed here.
The short information piece, notes of some past examples of P3 or public private investments, as well as the costs of such initiatives as they see it.
As well as they make note of a list of communities, a number in British Columbia, that have reversed course or abandoned the idea of partnerships on public infrastructure.
Their interest in the civic issue came following a recent BC Bid call from the City of Prince Rupert towards the city's plans for a water treatment facility to be built as part of the City's infrastructure program that is now in motion.
We outlined some of the background to that Bid request in an October item which you can review here.
When it comes to their concerns, People for Public Infrastructure have outlined some of their recommendations for the new City Council.

The organization has also launched its own information stream, providing updates on their plans through a blog hosted by community organizer Tom Kertes, which you can access here.
The City's administration office normally posts the Agenda for upcoming Council sessions on the Friday before the Monday meetings, in this case that would mean that People for Public Infrastructure may learn of the status of their requests by Friday November 27th.
More notes on City Council themes can be explored through our archive page.
