TERRACE — Although the ci-
ty has agreed to put up more
than $30,000 to bailout: the
Skeena Valley Recycling socie-

‘ty, it’s not an open-ended com-

mitment, says its administrator,
Bob Hallsor said under a deal |

‘Struck with Progressive Ven-

tures’ Lid., owners of the |
building-in which the recycling

pay $7,000 as‘ settlement for
rental to Dec. 31, £991 andia
further $21,600 to cover 1992's -
rent.
’ Add GST to the above and -
the total bill comes to $30,602.
Hallsor said the original lease’
signed by the society set the rent
at $2,000 per month on a lease
which expired at the end of,

_ May, £992.

However, with. not a single
rental ‘payment having been
‘made as of late October, the

* building” $- owner had served

eviction notice on the society éf-
fective Nov. 30.

‘ Following negotiations with
the city, Hallsor said. Pro-
gressive Ventures had agreed to

' tear up the old lease, accept a 50

per cent settlement to cover rent
to the end’of this year and sign a
new lease to the end of 1992 at

That monthly.rent is based on

~ arate of $4,50 per'sq.ft. per an-

num on the 4,800 sq. ft. building

off Hwy16 West.

In a separate agreement with
Skeena Valley Recycling, the ci-
ty has also agreed to. pay its
liability insurance premium —
approximately $350 for the year
— and, if necessary, outstan-
ding utility bills for heat and
light.

The society is expected to
repay the city in each case."

And, while the rent agree-
ment ensures the society has a
roof over its head for the tiext
13 months, Hallsor emphasized
it did not mean the city was
prepared to permanently prop
up the society financially. .

The deal requires a member
of council sit on Skeena’ Valley

| on recycle ¢ ona

sociely must present monthly
financial reports and an annual,
audited financial statement to
council.

The council represeniative to
the society's executive’ will be
named next month when mayor

committee and board appoint-

The recycling society received
another. financial ‘boost Satur-
day when the Kitimat-Stikine
_ Tegional district. approved a
, $12,000 grant-in-aid.

In a presentation to directors,
society spokesman Frank
Donohue said the group was
negotiating a lease-to-purchase
agreement for a baling machine
at'a cost of $1,000 per month
over three years,’ «::

Having that machine would
allow the recycling depot to
handle the large quantities of
cardboard — a money-making

_ product — from local stores

and businesses.

However, before the baler
could be installed, $12,000 of
capital expenditure was reé-
quired to purchase a forklift,
bins and wrappers and build a
loading dock.

Proposing a one-time grant-
in-aid of $15,000, Terrace direc-
tor Jack Talstra said the extra
$3,000 was intended to cover
the first three months of
payments on the baler,

The money will come from —
and drain — the board's ‘con-

‘tigency fund provided for in this

year’s budget. ~
While supporting the grant,
New Hazelton director Pete

. Weeber said-it should be made

on the understanding the society
ensure its recycling drive be
regional in scope.

The ‘Terrace group should
therefore work with similar
Organizations. in .other nor-
thweétern communities to come
up with a unified recycling plan.
