Planned energy audit won’t include Community Energy Initiative, council hears, because CEI is wider than city hall.
-
Gibson asks if auditor would consider CEI audit this year, if funds were made available. Wettstein suggests doesn’t fit auditor’s mandate.

@scottjtracey @adamadonaldson my motion calling for 3rd party investigative audit into CEI projects is a motion to direct, scope to follow.

Still 4 delegates for Infrastructure Environment and Funding Options incl. @chamberadvocacy

First up is @JasonDodgeWard3 to talk to report.

Kithio Mwanzia AKA: @chamberadvocacy now speaking against the infrastructure levy.

Staff report notes other municipalities which have imposed such levies, but Mwanzia says they have done service reviews, asset mgmnt plans

“I’m the cheapest person in this world.” I think that’s @PhilAlltWard3‘s re-election slogan for 2018.
-

-
@AdamMacIntyre I think the argument is that staff already do that. They prepare a list of efficiencies every budget.
