The repainting and alteration of the mural on the Water Tower has been finished. This work was required because of sulfur and water leaching through the walls of the tower which ultimately caused the previous mural’s paint peel. The new mural design has taken these areas of leaching into consideration to ensure its longevity.
Council has passed a Tax Arrears Payment Plan Bylaw as well. With the passing of this bylaw the Town of Fox Creek may establish a payment plan for taxes in arrears. The term of the payment plan will be determined by the amounts of taxes in arrears, the amount of estimated taxes to be imposed, the applicant’s ability to pay and shall not exceed a maximum of 3 years. Payments are to be in monthly installments with the option of withdrawing (conditions will apply) from the plan at any time.
