exactly what costs would be involved. After exarining the plans, the

City Engineer advised that due to the type of warehouse planned, and the
Tyner Street access to the property, Tyner Street would be virtually
destroyed and considerable off-site work would be necessary tc prevent
this. With respect to the work on Kingsway, the City Engineer advised

that most of the work was being completed by B.C. Hydra who were developing
the North side of the street, and he was asking that Mr. Battiston

supply the balance of the road widening and curb and gutter on the South
side at an approximate cost of $3,600.00. Alderman Traboulay noted that
even if the Council did eliminate the costs estimated for work on Kingsway,
the costs would still be considerably in excess of the $10,000.00 cost
envisaged by Mr. Battiston, and suggested that perhaps the City Engineer
could provide a further cost breakdovm for Mr. Battiston so as to fully
explain the costs for Kingsway.

Attorney-General Garde Gardom with respect to the ‘reality therapy'
treatment of juvenile offenders as this suggestion had previously been
put forth by Mayor Campbell in his capacity as Chairman of the ad hoc

CORRESPONDENCE & PETITIONS:

From the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, November 10,
1975 respecting current labour-management conditions in municipalities
and regional districts, and a request for reactions to a proposal to
increase the U.B.C.M. capability to provide a greater degree of labour
relations service to its members. They emphasized in their letter that
labour negotiations would not be a function to be undertaken by the
U.B.C.M. at this time. In speaking to the subject, the City Administrator
advised that U.B.C.M. provide the only satisfactory information service
of this kind in the Province. Alderman Ranger stated that at the present
time we belong to the Greater Vancouver Regional District Labour Relations
function, not for negotlating purposes, but rather for the information
they could provide, but it has been found that the City Administrator

has had difficulty in obtaining information to be used in negotiations
