Rob Carnie: Hey, let's talk about the responsibilities of various levels of government, The City of Moose Jaw posting this on Facebook just this week “Levels of Government and Responsibilities” with the caption “With municipal and provincial election dates set, and a federal election occurring sometime in the next 12 months, the City of Moose Jaw reminds residents of the three levels of government and their respective responsibilities.” 

Rob Carnie: It's Take 5 with Carney and Carmichael featuring Maurice Carmichael, Moose Jaw’s City Manager.  

We have this conversation monthly and some topical things to talk about today certainly. 

First of all, the municipal election is just around the corner, coming up November the 13th Polls, advanced polls, let's talk about them first. When will they open? 

Rob Carnie: One more thing, there's been some backlash from a number of locals over the fact that several concession outlets at the Moose Jaw Events Center are no longer accepting cash. Can we talk about why that decision was made and maybe what sort of feedback you've received at City Hall? 

Maryse Carmichael: I think some people initially were concerned because I think the perception was that it was all concessions were now (no longer) accepting cash and that's not the case.  

Rob Carnie: Another issue our local folks are talking about Maurice, the Stadacona Apartments, at last where this issue was still tied up in red tape with the province. Is that correct? 

Maryse Carmichael: We're getting closer as well to an answer on this one. We've been in discussion with the province on this. There's one last hurdle to go through and then the city should have ownership of the building. 

Rob Carnie: Any update on the Thunderbird Viaduct, the 4th Ave. Bridge? I know the last time we talked it was still in arbitration with CPKC and the City of Moose Jaw over who's responsible for getting some work done on our aging bridge. 

Rob Carnie: It is Fire Prevention Week. We have got to get that message out and remind people to check their smoke detectors. 

Maryse Carmichael: It is so important to check your smoke detectors. This week, especially, (is) the week where all firefighters across the province take the time to remind people to check their smoke alarms.
