RM opposes higher policing costs and grants local groups
During the regular council meeting the RM of Russell voted to fund three local groups instead of renewing a MGDA membership. They approved a 200 grant to Senior Services of Banner County, 100 to Manitoba 4-H Foundation, and 50 to Northwestern Marquette Festival in Birtle. They also support in principle a new breathing air compressor for the Russell Fire Department from Winnipeg. The meeting adopted previous minutes, approved January accounts, and applied for a per capita ambulance grant for the Russell District Ambulance Service. They gave third reading to road closures and openings. The council opposed an proposed policing cost increase for rural municipalities, siding with RM Hanover. A joint RM meeting with Russell Town and RM of Binscarth is planned for March 5 at Club Cafe in Russell.
