Following are the council highlights from the June 11 District of 100 Mile House council meeting:
Annual report
The 2012 Annual Report and Financial Statements were received and approved by council.
Mayor Mitch Campsall recognized the hard work staff had put into the report and expressed appreciation of its use of layman's terms.
Chief administration officer Roy Scott said the report's objectives are ambitious, but added it was "a good year" that enabled more money to be placed into reserves.

Hadden takes leave
Councillor Bill Hadden announced he will take a leave of absence from his council duties.
While he wasn't sure how long it will be until he can return to council, Hadden said he is hopeful the "problem" causing the need for his leave could potentially be resolved in as little as two weeks time.
Bylaw housekeeping
Some bylaws received three readings for processing changes included in the District's budget and five-year financial plan previously approved by council.
Tax Exemption Amendment Bylaw 1251 (for non-profits), Sewer and Water Rates Amendment bylaws 1254 and 1255 (for budget reserves) and Municipal Ticket Information Amendment Bylaw 1253 (for general public), were all passed by council.
