Council does about faces on lighting assessment, snow communications

Two motions approved by Bay Bulls council lasted just a month before being rescinded.

Council, during its November 17 meeting, rescinded two motions made in the previous public meeting.

Councillor Jason Sullivan moved that council rescind a motion, approved unanimously on October 12, for NL Power to complete a lighting assessment of 40 locations specified across town.

Deputy Mayor Jason O’Brien noted there was a cost associated with the work, with Sullivan clarifying that it was a high cost.

Council also rescinded a motion regarding snow clearing communications.

The motion was to have snow clearing contractor, Southeast Construction Ltd., send a group communication to council when equipment was started each day during the 2022-23 snow season.

That motion was also approved during the October 12 meeting, although both Mayor Keith O’Driscoll and councillor Shannon O’Driscoll voted against the motion.

There was no explanation offered as to why the motion was being rescinded.
