Three meetings in 24 hours! It kind of sounds like a gimmick, but that’s the way the schedule shook out this past week with the continuation of the November 13 planning meeting, the regular meeting of council and then the budget confirmation meeting.

This week was budget delegation night, and while that’s always a busy occasion, this one was even busier.

The last Committee of the Whole meeting for 2024 is unlikely to generate much controversy with an agenda that’s largely administrative. Two big items on this agenda are essentially money management matters, the quarterly financials and the plan to tackle all those receipts once the year’s over, but for that human touch you will have to enjoy the accomplishments of this month’s staff recognitions.
