City council named five residents to four advisory boards and committees during its recent regular meeting.
Council initially approved a recommendation during its March 27 executive committee meeting to nominate the five people to the boards and committees, while it officially confirmed their appointments after approving the executive committee minutes during its April 10 regular meeting.
Heritage advisory committee
Doug Young and Kristen Craig (as alternate) representing the chamber of commerce have been appointed to the City of Moose Jaw’s heritage advisory committee for a term of office to commence March 27 and to conclude Dec. 31, 2024, or until a successor is appointed.
Public art committee
Yvette Moore, representing the Downtown Moose Jaw Association, has been appointed to the City of Moose Jaw’s public art committee for a term of office that commenced on March 27 and concludes on Dec. 31, 2024, or until a successor is appointed.
Public works, infrastructure and environment committee
Kristen Craig and Doug Young (as alternate) representing the chamber of commerce have been appointed to the City of Moose Jaw’s public works, infrastructure and environment advisory committee for a term of office that commenced March 27 and concludes Dec. 31, 2024, or until a successor is appointed.
Public library board
Cody Sharpe, citizen-at-large, has been appointed to the Moose Jaw Public Library Board for a term of office to commence March 27 and to conclude Dec. 31, 2024, or until a successor is appointed.
Tax arrears abatement
During the March 27 executive committee, council also voted to abate the current and outstanding tax arrears penalties for 923 Albert Street to May 1.
City hall explained in an email that the property owner did not provide the city with a change of address information and claimed that tax notices were not received, which is why it penalized this property under Bylaw 5431 Tax Payments, Discounts and Penalties Bylaw.
“Since the tax notice in question relates to the Replacement Housing Incentive Program, it is understandable that this would not be considered a regular annual billing and the homeowner would easily not be expecting this supplemental charge,” the email said.
The email added that the current and outstanding arrears penalties on the property totalled $537.84.
The next regular council meeting is Monday, April 24.
