The Committee have received a request from the Senior Citizen's New Horizon
Committee to purchase some power tools for the Workshop Room. Please see
the attached letter. The Committee does not agree with the purchase of the
10" Bandsaw, 8" or 9" -tablesaw and 4" jointer for the following reasons:

1. Safety
2. Noise and Dust Problems - The room is not designed for this type of

equipment.
3. Storage - There is not adequate storage to house items that participants

would be working on.

press and bench grinder be purchased.

There have been problems with adult dances in regard to clean-up and damage

over the past few months. On two occasions, the group putting on the dance

have been from outside Port Coquitlam and we have had difficulty getting

money for damages and clean-up. The committee would like to make the followina

recommendation:

1. That organizations who are non-Port Coquitlam based, be charged a security
deposit of $100.00 that would be returnable upon satisfactory completion

of the rental agreement.

ITEM NO. 3 - Beer Gardens

We have received a request from two organizations who wish to apply for beer
permits for their ball tournaments. In order for these organizations to obtain
a permit, it is necessary for Council] to recognize these events as an annual

function.
