Future of West Ferris Arena among the highlights on city council agenda

North Bay city council gets together tonight, the committee meeting of council is cancelled so the regular meeting gets underway at 6:30pm. A couple of agenda highlights include a report about the timelines for the 2018 budget, and year-end financial projections for water and sewer in the city.

One of the bigger topics up for debate tonight is a report talking about potentially replacing West Ferris Arena, an issue that’s been on the back burner for months. Council will also address installing an All-Way Stop at Main Street West and Cassells Street. The reports says the intersection meets the collision warrant for implementation of all-way stop control. Two by-laws are also up for consideration as well, including one to amend the on-street parking by-law.
