Dear Mayor Laking;

The Coquitlam and District Safety Council would like at this
time to make a special reouest for monies to obtain new Elock Furent
signs for Fort Cocuitlamse 500 Block #arents. Because the Coquitlam
and District Safety Council includes 3 Iuniciralities, we feel it
only proper thet each tunicipality contribute to their own group.

We have received favorable reaction from the other unicipaelities
towards this request.

Because of the constant problems of fading and breckdown ang tie
reococuring expense of replacing the wax coated cardboard Sipms, &
decision has been rezched provincially, then Canade wide te £0 to
styreen Block Parent Signs. At a recent meeting of Couuitlam and
District Safety Council and Block Parent Co-ordinators & decision
was favorable for Coquitlum and District tc also conform with the
other communities in B. C. ean well ag across Canede and hovefully
replace our signs with the new styreen sins.

fhe cost will be 50¢ per sign. We feel strongly eceinst asking
volunteers to donate monies after their willingness to @onnte co
freely of their time. The B. Cc. Safety Council hae committed then
selves to pay for the minimum ordor of 7000 siyms to be derivered
in February so each conmunity cen purcheee as neony a3 required.

Our Block Parent Program works, I'm sure we don't herve to prove
thet point We have one or the strongest and best organized yproyrams
in the Province with total co-operation from everyone involved. It
is often commented et the Frovinejal meetings the success thet Coue
uitlam and District have in the program.
