At their regular meeting on Wednesday, Moosomin town council accepted a resignation letter from Casey McCormac, the town’s Economic Development Officer.
McCormac has been the economic development officer for three years. Her last day was Wednesday, where she gave her last EDO report at the council meeting on Wednesday evening.
In her time as EDO, McCormac oversaw the launch of the town’s $30,000 housing incentive plan after the town received $1 million under the federal Housing Accelerator Fund.
She also oversaw the creation of Gateway Economic Development, which saw Moosomin and Rocanville join forces to work on regional development together and share resources.
McCormac will be still working for the town on a contract basis to oversee the housing incentive plan, as the town is still working on meeting its goal of 43 housing units in total under the grant program.
“She was on for three years and it was a successful three years with economic development, and she should wear that with pride,” said Mayor Murray Gray at the meeting on Wednesday.
“Thanks for this opportunity and I look forward to the success that Moosomin has,” McCormac told council on Wednesday. “I am not leaving Moosomin.”
Temporary transfer station set up
Town Foreman Mike Stein told council that a temporary transfer station has been built at the town landfill to get the town through the winter, as the town’s landfill is at capacity and can’t accept any more waste.
The town will be building a permanent transfer station, but as of December 1, the temporary transfer station will be up and running, allowing people to dump their waste into bins at the landfill until a permanent transfer station can be built.
Curling club lease renewed
Council passed a motion to renew the lease with the Moosomin Curling Club for an additional 25-year period ending December 31, 2050.
Town approves start-up funding for Citizens on Patrol
Council passed a motion to give $2,500 to the newly formed Citizens on Patrol Group in Moosomin to cover some of their startup costs.
The donation would be a one time fee from the town to help the group get off the ground.
Citizens on patrol works in conjunction with the RCMP to keep eyes and ears on any activity in town that looks suspicious.
Idea for more ice time
Councillor Garry Towler brought up the idea of Moosomin funding, or partially funding, an small ice plant for the rink in Wapella, which uses natural ice, in order to help alleviate a shortage of ice time in Moosomin. He said if the town were to do that, there would need to be an agreement between Moosomin and Wapella that those two communities had priority ice time at the rink in Wapella over other communities.
Council noted the idea and agreed with Towler that a lack of ice time in Moosomin is an issue.
