The District of 100 Mile House Council unanimously chose to award Smitty’s Janitorial Services (1993) with a three-year contract at its Tuesday, April 23 council meeting.
Smitty’s won out against Squeaky Clean Cariboo and CleanerClean for the contract. The contract costs around $32,400.
Council also unanimously awarded a curbside and garbage recycling contract to Environmental 360 Solutions. The contract will last for a five-year period commencing in 2024 and will cost the District $420,368.
Environmental 360 Solutions is a company that “provides efficient and cost-effective end-to-end environmental management solutions” and has a roll-off dumpster rentals location at Sollows Crescent in 100 Mile House. They were the only ones who bid for the contract.
Council voted to award the contract for the 100 Mile Community Hall and the Martin Exeter Hall (MEH) to South Cariboo Property Management. The contract will be for a one-year term for a “quoted amount of $25 per hour” and requires South Cariboo Property Management to do prep and post-event clean up on an as-needed basis.
Council also read the Zoning Amendment Bylaw a first, second and third time. The proposed bylaw will help the District of 100 Mile House comply with recent provincial legislation, specifically Bill 44.
Bill 44 requires that all local governments permit a minimum of one secondary suite property where the residential use is limited to one detached single-family housing. The bylaw would “add secondary suite as an accessory permitted use to a single-family dwelling in the Resource Area zone.”
Joanne Doddridge, the Director of Economic Development and Planning, noted that 100 Mile House does not need to adopt standards.
“Council is required to consider the provincial site standards, not obligated to adopt those standards.”
