Scenic lookout project up for council approval

City council meets for the final time in 2010 tonight.   One of the highlights will be the approval of the Current River Scenic Lookout Project.   It's a development being sponsored by Hydro One in co-operation with the city.   As well councillors will be asked tonight to oppose the elimination of low key, but important civil service position in the city.  The McGuinty government is not going to fill the job of Emergency Management Field Officer for the region once the current officer, Dale Smyk, retires.   The province says it wants to run things from Southern Ontario.
