Re: G.V.R.D. Meeting - March 5th, 1975

Housing - °

I voted against the following motion because the Board has the ultimate
responsibility for land purchase and therefore should be apprised of the
situation before it is finalized:

"Moved and Seconded:

That the Board of Directors of the Non-Profit Housing Corporation be
authorized to approve land purchases, where the parcels meet the
objectives of the Corporation as determined by the Housing Committee,

and subject to the approval of financing by C.M.H.C. (with information
reports to the G.V.R.D. Board of Directors as appropriate). Carried."

Parks -
The following recommendation was passed:

‘phat it be recommended to the Board that the Capital Expenditure in the
amount of $4,695,167. be authorized for the purchase of property at ten
presently approved regional parksites - (Aldergrove, Belcarra, Boundary
Bay, Burnaby Lake, Burke Mountain, Campbell River, Capilano River, Derby

‘Reach, Kanaka Creek and Tynehead), subject to the Park Committee's
approval of each purchase." _

Hospital. -

I had requested that a member of the Coquitlam Hospital Society be
appointed to the G.V.R.D. Hospital Advisory Committee while in the plan-
ning stage. This is the first hospital that has been built for 12 years;
many new ideas are being kicked around and I am certainly convinced that
all the decisions are made by the Advisory Committee. My recommendation
was defeated and the following resolution put forward by the Executive
Committee was passed:

"That it be recommended to the Board that the G.V.R.H.D.'s Advisory Committee
membership do NOT be expanded at this time, but that individual hospital
societies be involved as appropriate, along with the Hospital District and
B.C.H.I.S., on project management committees which will be established from

time to time to handle new facilities and/or major renovations.”
