Hoge mens

That discussion on the proposed Garbage By-law be deferred.
Withdrawn.
Prior to withdrawing his resolution, Alderman Thompson expressed
the opinion that it was unfair to Aldermen Ranger and Keryluk, who nad
expressed oposition to certain portions of the By~law on previous occasions,
to proceed in their absence. Mayor Campbell agreed that it had been the

policy of this Council not to discuss important items in the absence of

FEO ee nas a Ser tes

a Council member who had expressed strong sentiments thereon in previous

discussions of the subject and he would therefore be in agreement.

Alderman Traboulay expressed the concern that items could be held back

indefinitely if this policy continued and Alderman Laking suggested that

he was in agreement with this point, however, if the By-law was to be
passed in time to be included in the 1976 Tax Notices, there can be no
further delay. He then suggested that first two readings could proceed
with discussion being held prior to any further readings at the next
meeting. The City Clerk advised that the By-law was not in a position to
have readings at this time but the staff needed an indication from the
Council that discussions have been satisfactory and that the City Clerk

may proceed to prepare By-law.
