As well there will be a request to support an application to the Local Government Development approvals process fund and a receipt of the January minutes of the Accessibility Committee.
Council will also offer appreciation to the Prince Rupert Children's Festival and review a report on Rotary plan stop become involved in plans for Mariner's Park.
