The Municipality of Crowsnest Pass Council held a regular Governance and Priorities Committee meeting on June 19th, called to order by Mayor Bruce DeCoux at 3 p.m. Councillors Siegbert Gail and Andrew Saje were absent from the meeting.
Business Licenses
Following discussions during Policy Committee, it was recommended that changes be made to the Business License Bylaw, including updates to clarify language, and shed light on the Control, Regulation and Licensing of All Types of Businesses operating within Municipal Boundaries. Councillor Brian Gallant brought up an issue about Rum Runners to council regarding this bylaw. “There has been an ongoing problem where venders show up, and put their stuff wherever they like, and not pay their fees,” Gallant said. “This bylaw will now rectify that.” Non-profit venders are still exempt from this bylaw.
