Interior Roads Update
Phil Doddridge of Interior Roads attended to update Council on current
and future plans. He started out by stating what a challenging winter
this past one was. Coun. Dyck commented on how difficult it was to see
the lines on the highway again this winter. Mayor Stanke commented on
the number of drivers who seem to think that there is a four-lane
highway through town. Doddridge said he will speak to Ministry of
Highways Michelle Schilling about that.
Kamloops Foundation
Paddy Harrington presented the Kamloops Foundation Annual Report to
Council. He advised that the Village of Clinton had come on board and
set up their Community Fund in 1999 with $500. The Clinton Millenium
Community Fund now has $3,600 in its endowment and has existing income
of $2,441.50.
Harrington explained how there is an opportunity to use matching
dollars from Northern Trust to build an Endowment Fund with a Public
Foundation. The minimum they will consider is $10,000 for each year.
Council voted to bring this topic to future budget workshops for
further investigation.
Summer Student Grant Approved
The Village of Clinton received a notice that the museum summer
student grant had been approved. They may now proceed with hiring a

Community Forest Invitation
A letter from Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural
Resources Operations advised the Village that the Minister was
directing the Regional Manager of the Southern Interior Forest Region

square meters of allowable annual cut.”
Clinton VFD Report
