employment Opportunity
The Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame is looking for a Museum Coordinator for the summer season (Jun. 13-Aug. 30).
The primary role is to ensure a positive visitor experience
through promoting awareness of the exhibits and interaction with
related programming at the Hall of Fame. The ideal candidate will
be a self-motivated, people-person with excellent integrity and
communication skills. The minimum age is 18. This will be most
appealing to a student in a tourism or recreation / leisure services
program of study although that is not a job pre-requisite. The
successful applicant must be returning to school in the fall of
2014 to be eligible. The salary for this term position is $12.50 per
hr. at 30 hrs. per week during the term. The work-day is Tuesday
through Saturday from 10 4pm.
Submit a cover and resume to: Box 760, Merritt, BC V1K1B8.
Emails can be sent to: fran@cfdcnv.com .
Closing date is May 9
The City of Merritts operating & capital budget for 2014 is $20 million
$13.5 million to operate all departments
& $6.5 million for capital expenses.
But between cost increases ($80,000
for labour; $200,000 for the rCMP;
$30,000 in electricity costs) and a loss of
tax revenue ($30,000 due to reduction in
assessed values & the loss of major industry, ie. Ardew), there is an increase of
$451,000 in uncontrollable costs.
The tax increase to cover that would
have been 7%, enough to spark a resident
revolt! But at the next meeting, City
Council will approve a 2% increase,
which will bring an additional $130,000
in revenue. And to keep this budget balance, all departments are working to reduce their costs by $200,000, and $500,000
will be taken out of reserve funds.
A quick look at the earliest budget
archived on the Citys website 2007
shows $8.2 in expenditures & $14 million
in revenues, for an annual surplus of $5.8
million. Those were the days
[Editor: Out of curiosity, Id like to know
what year the budget broke $1million!]
