‘TERRACE — Although coun-

ra

cil has now agreed to ask the
Solicitor General for an addi-
tional municipal RCMP
member effective Jan. 1, 1991,
that falls short of the original
request from the loral. detach-
ment head. _

In a November, 1989. memo
to council, Inspector Larry
Yeske argued the increased
caseload faced by the detach-
ment required the addition of
four more officers. — one for
traffic duties, one
plainclothes/drug investigator
and two for general duties.

In reaching its decision to
partially meet Yeske’s request,
council indicated that is as far
as it will go. without a commit-
ment from Victoria that it will
provide at Jeast one more pro-
vincial member, .

There. are now 22 officers
partially paid by. the city to
work within its-boundaries and
eight under provincial contract
to work the rural areas. .

Aldermen have also agreed to
supply an additional clerk effec-
tive’ Jan. 1, 1991.. While the

federal government meets ap-_

proximately 30 per cent of the
cost of each officer, this clerical
position is filled by a municipal
employee and comes under the
city budget.

- Qn the recommendation of
the public: works department,
council has decided to purchase
a new Patchmaster machine
rather than the second hand
equipment originally suggested.

Operations director John
Colongard explained the
“significant reduction’? in the
cost of a mew machine to
$86,250 plus tax and transporta-
tion made it a more attractive
proposition than the $75,000
being asked for the used one.
