Alternative approval bylaws

by Rachael Kimola - Nov 26, 2007 Castanet
Kelowna City Council will be voting Monday to start an alternative approval process for several borrowing bylaws. Residents have until January 10 to voice their objections to the proposals. The first is to borrow $40 million to pay for an expansion of the Wastewater Treatment Facility. The second is to borrow $7,577,000 for the construction of a pump station and ultra violet water treatment facility on Lakeshore Road. The third is to borrow $10.4 million to construct road improvements on Clifton Road, Pandosy Street, High Road, Richter Street and the Central Okanagan Bypass. January 10 at 4 p.m. has been set as the deadline for the three alternative approval processes. In order to be stopped, 10% of qualified electors must sign against a bylaw.
More than 8,400 signatures will be required to prevent a specific borrowing bylaw.
