Council Briefs: Chances goes big
Chances Gaming Entertainment centre wanted City council’s support to more than double its licensed occupancy from 210 to 445 people.
City council voted unanimously in favour of the expansion.
Mayor Peter Milobar, who owns a liquor store, excused himself from the vote.
Chances agreed to comply with a voluntary good-neighbour agreement.
Towne Lodge lets loose
There could be dancing in licensed parts of the Kamloops Towne Lodge soon.
City council voted Tuesday to authorize distribution of a notice of intent for the slight change to the hotel’s liquor licence.
City development and engineering services director David Trawin said the City’s support is required because it is a change to the licence.
The lodge wasn’t asking for an increase in capacity or change to its floor area, simply that patrons could have a dancing space in a licensed area. It needed to go to the Liquor Control branch for approval, so the City’s support was sought.
Band chief welcomes new council
Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson extended his congratulations to the newly elected City council Tuesday.
And he came bearing a gift.
He presented it to Mayor Peter Milobar, who unwrapped what turned out to be a new gavel.
Gottfriedson also requested a joint council meeting to be held soon, before the two sit down in a community-to-community forum this spring.
Standing alone, but standing up for his point
Coun. Donovan Cavers stood up for his motion, literally, Tuesday, despite knowing he didn’t have the support of his fellow council members.
Last week, at his first official council meeting, Cavers put forward a notice of motion that he wanted council members to stand for their votes rather than raise their hands.
The idea was to promote exercise and brain stimulation, he said.
Unfortunately, he didn’t stimulate any other council members to join him.
“This is not a pilates class,” said Coun. Ken Christian, who added lightly that he didn’t run for council to get exercise.
Despite knowing he wasn’t going to get other councillors to vote with him, Cavers stood when he voted in favour of his motion.
