Council keeps twice-monthly meeting schedule

EAGLE STAFF

Town councillors will continue meeting twice a month, on the first and third Mondays evenings, they decided during their initial meeting of 2026.

They didn’t make any changes to their three committees, which rarely meet since they decided to meet together twice a month a year ago. They chose to wait until after the by-election scheduled for March, accepting a suggestion from Mayor Trevor Hay, “and assemble when we need it.”

“I like to keep everyone on council informed about all things going on and being part of that discussion, instead of coming to a committee meeting and not knowing exactly what’s going on,” Hay said.

“I think we left (committees in place) in case there was something in particular” that needed study, councillor Jan Coffey-Olson said.

However, they confirmed several other positions, including members of the zoning appeals and board of revision — Gregory Piska, Sherry Keith and Angelika Walker and Michele Schmidt.

Greg Carlson remains deputy mayor and Jan Coffey-Olson continues as acting deputy mayor.

SUMAssure, established by the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association, remains the town’s insurance provider.

Staff with Municode Services of Warman continue in charge of commercial and building inspections, Stark and Marsh from Swift Current remains the town auditor and Aecom in Saskatoon continues as engineer of record.

Sharon Clark continues as the town’s representative to the Wheatland Regional and Rosetown Centennial library boards and Courtney Rye remains its representative with Meridian Community Futures.
