Greater Vernon Services Committee had its monthly regular meeting this morning. Here are a couple of highlights(?) of the meeting.
Jack Borden appeared before the committee on behalf of Coldstream Meadows (CM) and requested significant refund of their water and parks DDC's. His justification was that they are a congregate care facility and therefore they are justified elimination of those DCC's. I just wonder if this claim is approved will CM refund the portion of the DCC's to customers who have already purchased their units.
Next the Rare Earth Jazz and Blues Festival representatives proposed a concert for the August long weekend at the Kin Race Tracks. Directors appeared to receive the proposal favourably but final decision will be made later.
You will be thrilled to know that the water rates are now 80 cents per cubic meter with an additional flat rate of $27.63 per quarter ($110.52 per year). Take a look at comparative water rates in Penticton, Kelowna and Greater Vernon. Penticton appears to be comparable but Kelowna's rates are very progressive as they increase rates with increased consumption.
Sewer rates I could only find for Kelowna and, as expected it's a "bit lower" than it is in Coldstream (about a third of Coldstream rates).
