City council will bring resolutions on proceeds of crime and clean up of needles to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention in September.
Both were approved on Monday.
On proceeds of crime, council will be calling for the provincial government to share the value of seized proceeds with municipalities to help offset their policing costs.
Prince George RCMP's seizure of $550,000 cash in April inspired Coun. Kyle Sampson to bring the resolution forward. He said the city's resources were used to make the seizure, yet Prince George will reap none of the benefit.
Council also endorsed a resolution from Coun. Brian Skakun calling for ongoing funding from the provincial government to pay for the cost of cleaning up needles and drug paraphernalia from city streets.
A similar resolution was taken to the UBCM a few years ago, Skakun noted, but with a new government in place he said it's worthwhile to raise the issue once again.
