the By-law, stating he understood it is illegal to keep records against

a minor and if so, how is a record going to be kept of the number of

times juveniles are picked up. Alderman Ranger pointed out that this is
the only piece of legislation that gives the Council power to do something
about a bad situation, and he also mentioned the By-law will only be in
force for a trial period of six months. Alderman Keryluk stated he

could not support the By~law unless it was amended to provide that it
would be reviewed at the expiration of the 6-months trial period; however,
Mayor Campbell pointed out that such an amendment is not required as

that fact is on record in the Council meeting minutes. Mayor Campbell
spoke in favour of the By-law and stated he wished to stress very strongly
that it is not being instituted in an effort to curtail vandalism, but
because it is time irresponsible parents are brought to the attention of
social service departments.

to Mar./75
Alderman Traboulay, in speaking to the report, noted that the PoCo
House no longer provides for a 24-hour medical service, and he suggested
that during the day when the facility is not in operation, the upstairs
could be used for such purposes as a day care centre. The City Administrator
stated that he was doubtful if approval could be obtained from the

Department of Health because the area of the upstairs is not large

enough to meet the requirements for such a use.

Moved by Alderman Traboulay:

That the Environmental Protection Committre investigate the feasibility
of housing a day care centre or a pre-school centre at 2478 Mary Hill
