TO: Mayor and Council DATE: June 8, 1973

FROM: L.D. Pollock,
City Administrator

RE: Planning Consulting Service

The City has been without any consulting planners since Norman Pearson accepted a
post with the Provincial Government. I have discussed a planning service with
three or four firms that are in the business and interviewed two planners that I
thought would be suitable,

I would recommend to Council that we use the services of Mr, Bruno Freschi of the
firm of Keith-King & Freschi, Architects and Planners. Mr. Freschi has agreed to
Provide a planning service for the City on a basis Similar to Norman Pearson in
that he will work on a perdiem basis and will not require a retainer or c contract,

Mr. Freschi is presently doing some work for Burnaby. We has done work in the Kelowna
area and Northwest Territories and has been responsible for a number of planning and
transportation studies while working with the firm of Erickson-Massey.

This is provided mainly for information as there is no contract required for Council

to approve. I have invited Mr. Freschi to attend the next of the Planning and Zoning
Committee to meet members of the Committee.

Licence Inspector Seminar

There will be a two day seminar for Licence Inspectors in Saanich on Vancouver Island
on June 14th and 15th, 1973. This seminar is sponsored by the Licence Inspectors
Association of which our Licence Inspector, Mr. Criggie is a member. Mr. Criggie
has asked for permission to attend end I feel that the meeting which consists of a
seminar and workshop study of Problems involving licencing, fee structures and enforce-
ment would te useful to Mr, Criggie in his work. The cost of the conference is $25.00
Plus his hetel, travel expense and meal allowance while attending the seminar.

I would recommend that approval be granted for Mr. Criggie to attend this seminar,
