City to use planning consultant services
The City of North Battleford has decided to hire a planning consulting firm to deal with its planning duties until it is able to hire a fulltime person for the role again.
Administration recommended the city enter into an agreement with Northbound Planning Ltd. to provide planning services to the end of 2023, on an hourly basis, not to exceed a total budget of $30,000 including $1,698 in PST.
The funds for the planning consultant will come from current planning staff vacancies.
James Johansen, city director of engineering, planning, asset management and Infrastructure, presented the report to council.
