an A12 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 13, 2006 _ From front City will borrow to build ‘plex “We've had a referendum, albeit somewhat dated, that in - Terrace we proceed so that’s what we’re doing,” he said. “I and council. have said this very same thing through three elections and the people that were lukewarm on this project were not re-elected.” - City officials are quick to remind taxpayers that while the bylaws allow the city to borrow that much money, it doesn’ t - mean all of it will be spent. ‘ “Once the borrowing bylaw is passed, the city doesn’t have to borrow that whole amount but we had to put a num- ber on it, so that’s why it’s on the high side,” says city direc- tor of leisure services, Ross Milnthorp. The city is holding an open house at City Hall in the base- ment training room Monday, Sept. 18 from 7:30 p.m.-9 p.m. ‘The final design of the second sheet-of ice will be’ presented” as will the breakdown of the final costs to build the long ". proposed sportsplex. Those number will come from the bids , received from contractors on various aspects of the project. The meeting is Open to the public.

Enrolment nunibers for the four schools for. December 2005: were: Kiti. K’Shan 238; Cassie Hall 233; Clarence _Michiel. 171; and E.T. Kenney 153. ; ~The district doesn’t get an accurate enrolment number until the end of September and will use those statistics when , ‘the board votes of the recommendations in October. Among the other recommendations is that the district éx- amine leasing the never-used Mountainview Elementary. to. a group or public institution whose operations don’t conflict -with the school district's. “We could bring it back asa public school if and when we can,’ * Greenwood said. If adopted, it would also mean the district office would, . remain where it is on Hwy16 West at Kenney St. ‘The. three-year plan initially unveiled to the public’ in, _December | 2005, which was deferred until last week, had’ _ proposed the administrative office be sold and moved to the empty Mountainview school. A further recommendation is that’ the district holds on to Ecole Jack Cooke, which it leases to the Francophone School District. : ; Greenwood said at $140,000 revenue a year, the lease ‘is too valuable to the district and hinted the building could eventually be used to house a First Nations education centre, in the future. - Finally, it’s recommended district staff: look at reconfig- uring the local three high schools because Grade 10 students “are now part of the graduation program but are not ‘physi- cally in the same school as Grade 11-12 students. All six of the recommendations will come before the board Oct. 4 and will be voted on independently. y _ U0 CHEVROLET OPTRA’ 0% financing offer not available on OPTRA* HWY: 7.11/100km © 40mpg CITY: 10.4L/100km © 27mpg, CHEVROLET EQUINOX HWY: BSL/S00km « 33mpg CITY: 12.6L/100km * 22mpg ' With 0% purchase financing and huge deals on our award-winning ‘ models, there’s never been a better time to buy a GM vehicle.
