From the Cache Creek Council meeting on May 14.
Roll Call
Mayor John Ranta (who was celebrating his 65th birthday) and councillors Lisa Dafoe, Herb Hofer, Wyatt McMurray and Darrell Rawcliffe.
Pool security
Council approved the installation of a single cantilever barbed wire barrier around the public swimming pool and a storage container next to it, as well as signage recommended by the Municipal Insurance Association.
Council began investigating increased security at the pool when a group of childen climbed over the fence of the compound and used the diving board and slide to bounce on the pool cover.
The municipal insurers and risk management specialists advised the Village that potential injury from barbed wire would be far less risk to the Village than a potential drowning.
Boundary Extension
Council reviewed a letter from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, who advised them that their request for a boundary extension had been referred to the Ministry of Transportation for review. Once MoT responds, the Ministry will advise the Village that it can proceed to the next step.
The boundary extension would take in Boston Flats and property on Hwy 97C.
