A combination of the old and new will represent the city on the Fraser-Fort George Regional District board of directors.

Council members voted Tuesday return Mayor Lyn Hall and Coun. Murry Krause while also electing Coun. Terri McConnachie and Coun. Kyle Sampson to the board for the first time.

They will replace Coun. Albert Koehler, who stepped down from council prior to the elections last month, and Coun. Frank Everitt, who will be the primary alternate if any of the four cannot attend an FFGRD meeting.

Illegal dumping within the city limits and how the FFGRD can help reduced the problem will be a topic. In passing a motion to that effect in September, council members also agreed to an amendment from Everitt directing staff to also look at the possibility of handling household garbage at the site once the FFGRD's lease of the site concludes at the end of April next year.

Development will remain a theme, Hall said Tuesday, and emphasized working together.

"Each municipality has a stake in how well we do as a region," he said. "That's really important for us."

More appointments and elections are in store when council members meet on Nov. 26. Hall will recommend the chairs of the finance and audit committee and the intergovernmental relations committees, currently held by Coun. Garth Frizzell and Skakun respectively.

Council will also vote on who sits on positions on various other committees.
