\n<\/a>A weekly roundup of noteworthy news in municipalities across B.C.<\/em><\/p>\n

A stakeholder survey by the Cumberland Chamber<\/a> has indicated that marketing of the Village to tourists and other visitors is a top priority for local business.<\/p>\n

The new chair of the Columbia Basin Trust wears a Jumbo-sized hat \u2014 but insists it shouldn\u2019t be a problem. Greg Deck says his appointment as mayor of Jumbo Glacier Resort<\/a>, which officially becomes a mountain resort municipality next month, elicited \u201csome groans\u201d when he informed his fellow Trust directors.<\/p>\n

A plan outlining Mission and Abbotsford<\/a>\u2019s transit needs over the next 25 years may be doomed from the start due to a lack of funding. The district is looking for ways to keep transit costs in line as the district ponders what can be done to increase ridership.<\/p>\n

City of Powell River<\/a> elected officials have asked staff to prepare a draft bylaw to extend the municipal assist factor on development cost charges (DCCs) for one year. DCCs are fees that local governments collect at the time of new development to help fund off-site infrastructure services and park acquisition required to accommodate growth. The city\u2019s DCC bylaw came into effect in 2011, with a municipal assist factor (MAF) of 40 per cent. That changed to 20 per cent in 2012 and one per cent in 2013.<\/p>\n

Langley Township<\/a> isn\u2019t actively looking to open a casino where you can play Starburst slots<\/a>, but it isn\u2019t ruling the idea out either, the mayor said.\u201cWe certainly are open to any online casino including asian site (m88 link<\/span><\/a>) operators that would like to talk to us,\u201d Mayor Jack Froese said this week.<\/p>\n

After nearly a decade of fits and starts, a vision of West Vancouver<\/a>‘s central waterfront neighbourhood may be crystallized over the next few weeks following council’s decision to move ahead with the Ambleside activation group last week.<\/p>\n
