of the Council and Coquitlam R.C.M.P. Detachment, and Alderman Ranger
agreed to his request to ascertain and advise them of the time they had
to be at the Arena for this event.

Alderman Traboulay referred to the acts of vandalism last year caused
by the graduating students painting up the City, and Mayor Campbell agreed
to his suggestion that as Chairman of the Public Relations Committee, he
meet with the Principal, Mr. J. Gowans, and the 1976 graduating class of the
Port Coquitlam Senior Secondary School and apprise them, possibly through
a series of lectures on municipal taxation, on the cost of such acts of
vandalism.

Alderman Traboulay referred to a report from the Canadian Federation
of Mayors & Municipalities on the 1976 Conference to be held in Vancouver,
and Mayor Campbell agreed to his suggestion that. as there are a number of
topics of interest to the Council, as many members as can do so, attend
the Conference.

Alderman Traboulay then referred to a tabled motion from the September
8th, 1975 meeting of Council that the Agricultural Hall be demolished, and
Alderman Keryluk advised that he has a report thereon from the City
Engineer that will be reviewed shortly.

Alderman Traboulay referred to the City's offer to the Provincial
Government to take some of its surplus seedling trees being accepted, and
he stated he was pleased to see that at last a place has been found in
Port Coquitlam to have a nursery.

Alderman Mabbett referred to students continually pushing barricades
and signs into ditches, etc., while construction work is underway on
Laurier Avenue, and he suggested that a letter be sent to the Principal
of George Pearkes Junior Secondary School requesting that he try and
prevail upon the students to keep in mind the safety of motorists,
pedestrians, and others by leaving these Signs and barricades alone.
Alderman Keryluk pointed out that a letter has already been sent and the
students have been spoken to; however, as there is only one lane open
on that section of Laurier Avenue and no sidewalk available for them to
walk on, this type of situation is bound to happen. Alderman Laking ex~
pressed concern that if an accident occurs because the barricades have been
taken down, the City may find itself responsible, and Alderman Mabbett
further suggested that the Principal and teachers should see that the

students put back in place any barricades and signs they have knocked over

or moved.
