Brighton council has decided to offer financial incentives in order to attract Nurse Practitioners to the community.
At its meeting Monday council will be asked to sign off on a program offering $10,000, or $5,000 per year, to a Nurse Practitioner for a commitment of two years work serving Brighton patients.
The incentive could go as high as $25,000 in return for a five-year work commitment.
Brighton council will delay a final decision on increasing development charges until later this year.
Monday, council voted to extend the deadline for the approval of new charges until December 2 to allow for more consultation with developers and other stakeholders.
As proposed the charges paid by developers in Brighton would increase by over $21,000 or 150% on a single family house in the urban area.
Local developers question the need for such a steep increase and have hired a consulting firm to present their case.
There will no longer be any local regulation of taxi businesses in Brighton.
Council did away with its two by-laws regulating the cab business in Brighton at its meeting
Monday in an effort to attract more transportation services to the community, such as Uride and Lyft.
Previously such by-laws could limit the number of taxis on the roads and set fares.
Deregulating the business will not affect anyone as Brighton currently does not have any taxi service.
