COUNCIL
MEETING (HELD ON THE 31 MAY 2010)

1. Our Caucus started at 8 and continued until 10 o’clock when
   the council meeting started. This meeting continued until 3 o’clock in
   the afternoon. Numerous councillors debated matters which were right
   off the point of the meeting. The IDP was approved and the capital and
   operating projects for the various wards were tabled. These can be read
   on the hard copy at the ward 3 office. In essence the  IDP was
   approved, without full public participation, and has been reported in
   the press: property rates 11%, Water 12%, Sanitation 11%, Electricity
   22%, Refuse 11%
2. Great concern was expressed as these increases as they
   could negatively impact on the development and job creation in this
   City.
