Can be read beginning at:
https://cranbrook.civicweb.net/Documents/DocumentList.aspx?ID=1896
12.3 concerns appointments to committees
12.4 concerns the recording of council meetings and their availability to the public. Due to the unreliability and delayed broadcasting of service from Shaw, administration is recommending recordings be made available on the city website but that archives of past meetings NOT be kept.
12.6 concerns a request from the Cranbrook Golf Club that their taxes be waived.
https://cranbrook.civicweb.net/Documents/DocumentList.aspx?ID=1901
Administration recommends that no further tax exemption be granted to the Cranbrook Golf Club as a significant exemption ($18,982.00 in 2011) is already provided.
An interesting table of area Golf Club taxes is provided at the link above.
Thank you for the information you provide on Council meetings. This transparency is most welcome. The Cranbrook Guardian serves a very important purpose.
