Voters have until March 30 to request a referendum be held on the issue.

The City of Prince George is seeking voter approval to borrow $2.7 million dollars to replace some of the city’s existing equipment and purchase new light-duty trucks and tents for the fire department.

“Personally, I am not a huge fan of the alternative approval process,” Coun. Tim Bennett said. “ going ahead with the Alternative Approval Process is a much better use of taxpayer dollars and staff resources, then going to a referendum process.” Klassen agreed with Bennett that she personally doesn’t like the Alternative Approval Process, but holding a referendum every year to finance routine equipment replacements isn’t ideal either.

The loan would finance replacing nearly $2.4 million in mobile equipment replacements, a driveable hoist for the city’s lube bay at $65,000 and $30,000 to replace floor scrubbers for the city’s janitorial staff.
