Chong, P- Eng-, Som City Engineer SUBJECT: Request to Use Environmental Protection Budget Since you are the Environmental Protection Committee's Staftt# Resource Person |, on behalf of the Public Works Committee, am referring This request to you for your Committee's consideration. +here has been an unusually large number of requests to clean up "tttegal Dumping" areas throughout The City. Areas inciuded on This list are Argue Street east of Mary Hi}! Road, Perth Street road allowance and the banks of Coquitlam River. | have budgeted $4,800 for the provisions of this service based on historical expenditures. This amount of money is already expended. As the City Engineer | have two cheices. The first being to stop providing this service and the second being to continue this service on request with funds from other accounts. The first option is not really an option in that the City has, in my opinion, an obligation to clean up illegally dumped debris. This leaves t+he second option. Up to this time, tn reviewing the Engineering Department Budget, | have noted that although $10,000 has been budgeted this year for Environmental Protection, to date only $800 has been spent. Would you be good anough to approach your Committee members To see if they can support t+ransterring $4,000 from their budget to my "illegal Dumping" budget? (f they are in agreement wifl have to formalize this via a resolution of Council. | await your response. a Freer ee ee aid f) ; Se T.M@. Chong) *.
