Some changes are on the table at tomorrow’s (Monday) Prince George City Council meeting that will limit residents’ input.
A report to council is suggesting that the amount of time for initial submissions during public hearings should be lowered from 15 minutes, to ten.
Subsequent submissions will also be lowered from ten minutes, to five.
City administration said in the report that this falls in line with other municipalities, and that these changes will encourage more people to speak during public hearings.
Telephone submissions are being discontinued as well, as the report noted the uptake for it was low.
Out of the 30 public hearings the service was available for, the City said only seven people used it.
The City will also be submitting an application for funding to help against gun and gang violence, and Trinity United Church is looking for the City’s support for their funding application to Northern Development Initiative Trust.
