CTC Discussing Municipal Accommodation Tax, RZone Policy & More In August Meeting

Chapleau Town Council's set to hold their sole meeting of the month.

Included on the agenda for tonight's regular meeting is a construction agreement for the Recreation Centre Washroom Upgrades, as well as resolutions to implement a Municipal Accommodation Tax and the Respect Zone - or "RZone" - Policy, which Mayor Michael Levesque says is meant to address concerns about "numerous attacks on social media".

Council will also consider awarding contracts for the Bi-Annual Bridge Inspections and the development and hosting of a new municipal website, amending the budget for Streetlight Replacement, and issuing a $33,000 purchase order for repairs of refrigeration equipment.

There are also four "in-camera" items: one involving solicitor-client privilege with respect to the RZone policy; another regarding CAO recruitment; one relating to other labour relations or employee negotiations; and the last relating to the Buddy Swanson Awards.

The public can listen in on the meeting by calling 1-800-974-5902, entering conference ID 5116623 - it starts at 6:30 tonight.
