CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM

TO: Ron Freeman
City Clerk/Deputy Administrator

FROM: T.M. 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.
