Mayor and Council February 9, 1973

would probably participate in the 25% cost which is a mandatory levy but ;
would probably not avail themselves of the full services for example,

utilizing the services of the Regional District to conduct collective

bargaining.

L believe the principle is sound in that the existing Municipal Labour
Relations Bureau has served as a central agency for the gathering of contract
and statistical information which they make available to their member
municipalities. We have used these services only to a very limited degree

aS we were not a member of the M.L.R.B.

I note that the Regional District are requesting a reply before March 23, 1973.
I can provide Council with a further report on the subject however I note that

they have offered to have someone attend a meeting if Council so desire.
