7.1 Administration Updates
https://cranbrook.civicweb.net/Documents/DocumentList.aspx?ID=2087
- Cranbrook Homeless Shelter is requesting funding from the City and the RDEK to complete the new shelter. Administration feels that the City will already be making a large contribution through its contribution of $34866 towards the RDEK contributions as well as waiving Development Cost Charges which are approximated to be $138,856 for the development. It is felt Cranbrook ratepayers contribution to the project is already significant.
- Secondary Suites Update
The City held an Open House on January 25 at the Manual Training Centre. The City received 5 responses which were generally supportive of the idea
- Asia Pacific Twinning Initiative
The Director of Finance travelled to Wonju, Republic of Korea and Taicang, China between Feb. 13 - 18
- Engineering Moir Gravel Pit Master Redevelopment Plan include the following;
Pit lifespan analysis
Determination of final contours of excavation
Shape of the Park
Tree and shrub plan
Off leash dog park
Irrigation
Benches
Washroom facilities
- The Playpen will be putting in Waste Dog Disposal Bag dispensers at Kinsmen Park and the Cranbrook Community Forest
- Bike Skills Park
The City is going to require liability insurance requiring the Bike Skills Park Society to name the City of Cranbrook as one of the insured. As well the City feels the Society should have enough money, if the Society can no longer care for the Bike Park, have the funds to return the site to its original condition. While the Society thinks raising the monies will be challenging they are willing to work with the City to resolve this problem
- Solid Waste By-law Update
Administration is looking into changing the Solid Waste Bylaw 3634 reducing the number of bags from 5 down to 2.
