Carried.

From the Greater Vancouver Regional District Planning Department,
July 20th, 1976 with regard to setting a meeting to discuss, for approximately
one hour, the Livable Region Programme including the 1986 population
target figure of 37,000 set for Port Coquitlam, Discussion ensued and
Alderman Ranger suggested that a late af‘ ernoon
considering the length of discussion requested and Alderman Traboulay
expressed the opinion that no meeting was necessary in view of the fact
that the Council had set its own policy on growth and had not endorsed
the G.V.R.D. proposal as presented at the July 12th meeting of Council.
and felt any further meeting on the subject would be a waste of G.V.R.D.
staff time. Alderman Ranger disagreed and indicated he would welcome
the opportunity to express his concerns in person to the G.V.R.D..
Alderman Laking suggested that the G.V.R.D. target, had it been accepted,
was only slightly higher than that set by Council and the provision for
a review and revision, should it become necessary, was included in the
proposal, and therefore agreed that a meeting should be held. Mayor
Campbell noted that the G.V.R.D. was here to stay and that many people
did not realize the essential services provided by the G.V.R.D. in the
areas of Water Distribution, Sewerage and Drainage treatment, hospitals,
pollution control, and to some degree transportation. [It appears the
only area of concern 1s in connection with the planning functions of the
Regional District and the conflicts in this regard have affected the

overall situation and the Mayor felt that a meeting should be held as

requested.
