Councillor seeks update on Civic Operations plans for move to MacCarthy property

City Councillor Nick Adey has relayed some questions from a '
resident towards the timeline for the move of the City Yard
to the former GM property in town

It's been quite a few months now since the City's announcement of March this year of plans to lease, with a potential to buy, for the old MacCarthy GM property for use of the operations department.  

With only a few updates along the way since towards the progress for the proposed shift.

The most recent development for the project was the call for tenders for the facility on Chamberlain Avenue, a listing with BC Bid that was posted in late October.

The topic of the proposed move came up no Monday night at City Council,  by way of a request for an update at a future council session by Councillor Nick Adey.

"This is a question, we may not have an answer tonight,  it may be that Im asking for an update, perhaps at our next. meeting. 

I was asked about the progress towards moving the City works yard to the new location. 

Where, when, how much? Those kinds of questions.

So I think I'm probably asking that staff be given a moment to put together an update on that for the next meeting." -- Councillor Nick Adey

Mayor Pond also noted of the interest in the move in the community.

"Yeah ... it's been a topic of discussion and a topic of discussion in the community and it's important I think  that there be feedback on that" -- Mayor Herb Pond

The prospect of an immediate update it appeared was not available, as both City Manager Rob Buchan and Operations Director Richard Pucci were not in attendance at Mondays gathering, which was the last public council session for the year.

Mr. Adey's request can be viewed from the City's Video Archive starting at the one hour, five minute mark.

You can review some of the past notes related to the proposed use of the former car dealership through our Civic Operations Archive.

More notes from Monday's Council session can be reviewed through our Council Session Archive page.
