regional planning mandate.

The report of the Task Force was circulated to member municipalities for
comment in December 1992. City Council considered the report at the Council
meeting of January 2°, 1993, and passed the following resolution:

“THAT the GVRD Board of Directors be informed that the City of Port
Coquitlam supports the recommendations of the Task Force to seek
legislation to prepare, adopt and implement a Regional Strategic Plan for
Greater Vancouver, provided that:

1. The Regional Strategic Plan be prepared in close consultation and
cooperation with member Municipalities 3

The Regional Strategic Plan receive approval by each local Council;

Subsequent changes to the Regional Strategic Plan after adoption may
be made with the approval of the local Council and not necessarily
with the approval of the GVRD Board; and

Any subsequent changes to the Regional Strategic Plan proposed by the
GVRD receive approval from every local Council of municipalities
affected by the changes”.

The foregoing resolution was submitted to the G.V.R.D. as Port Coquitlam's
