The October 3rd Bowen Island Municipal Council Meeting focused on two topics. First up was James Tuer's Snug Cove Village Concepts Plan Presentation that was introduced by BIM Planner, Hap Stelling. The discussion did not go towards making a decision but remainly largely a revisiting of what Mr. Tuer's presented previously to Council and the community at the beginning of the summer.
Next up was a discussion of what was called Permissive Tax Exemptions. In essence, some organizations and businesses that had, in prior years, presented a case for property tax exemption became exempt. Some of the discussion moved towards a revisiting of this approach in light of Council's acknowledgement that it is spending more than it is taking in. The changes made will be phased in and will not take effect until the 2012 fiscal for the groups in question.
Other topics on the agenda were deferred due to the amount of time these two agenda items took during the course of the evening.
