The Thunder Bay City Council has put a hold on finding a future display site for the James Whalen Tugboat while administration consults with interest groups on a feasible plan. Coun. Trevor Giertuga inquired about amending the resolution to recycle and store the tugboat, prompting City Manager John Collin to confirm their commitment to moving forward.
THUNDER BAY – While confirming the committee of the whole minutes from the Sept. 16 meeting, at large Coun. Trevor Giertuga asked City Manager John Collin if there was any way to amend the resolution to recycle and store the James Whalen Tugboat .
Collin said that administration is “fully committed” to moving forward in regard to the historic tugboat. “However, based on the latest info we have had from various interest groups, we're now paying very close attention to this.” But to answer Giertuga’s question, Collin said council could separate the “site planning and the determination of the location” from the resolution until more information is gathered.
