And once a deputy is elected, the mayor says the main focus of the council within its first 100 days in office will be improving and upgrading Belize City's drainage:
Bernard Wagner, Mayor of Belize
"The biggest projects are the drains. Drains, drains, drains, drains. That has been the call on the streets of Belize City that people want the drains to be really shaped up, maintained, have them connected to the canals and the canals to the river, and the river to the sea, if we can get that sort of drainage down, we would be in a better position, given that in the next three to four months we face the hurricane season so that would be priority number one to really get into drains maintenance, shaping them digging them out, taking out all the slush that is there and we are really optimistic about being able to deliver the drainage but continue the infrastructure work as well."
