' ITEM I

Re: Marpole Street Servicing Requirements

‘Mr. Wilf Renner was in representing the current owner
of the building being constructed at 2331 Marpole Street. Mr.
Renner pointed out that the actual off-site servicing costs

came to $45,239.00 compared to the City's estimated cost of
$32,000.00. Because of this large increase in costs, he requested
that the City delete the requirement for the storm sewer from

his property to the river.

The Committee discussed this request and pointed out
that the estimate was actually done in 1977 and the letter of
tentative approval written in January 1978. The owner is not
being asked to do any more than what was originally required
but costs have escalated because it is now three years later.
The City has an agreement signed by the developer agreeing to

. do all the works as originally requested and this agreement is

“not influenced by the actual costs of the work. It was also
pointed out that the City itself lost some money since it took
only $6 ,00C.00 for the developer's 50 percent share of the water-
main extension and that this was also based on the 1977 estimate.

“The Committee recommends that no reduction be made
in the off-site servicing requirements for 2331 Marpole Street.

ITEM II

Re: .Garbage Collection Agreement

In 1979 the City implemented a modified task system
for garbage collection which involved a reduction of the crew
‘size from three men to two and an incentive of allowing the
men.to leave work when the job was finished for the day. Although
not part of this agreement, the City at the same time also
authorized closing the Welcher Dump and eliminating cleanup
weeks.
