MEMORANDUM
February 23, 1993
TO:

Parks & Recreation Committee

FROM:

Jmna Taylor, Parks & Recreation Director

SUBJECT:

Skateboarders

That we form a task force to invesdgate alternatives for
skateboarders in Port Coquitlam.
That the task force committee be composed of two members from
the delegation to City Council and appropriate staff members.
That the task force bring a. report back to Council no later than
April 30, 1992.

A delegation of skateboarders met with City Council on January 25, ! 993 to request
that a location be found for them to skateboard.

The skateboarders have been skateboarding in the arena and have caused a safety
concern. Also the user groups are not happy with the situanon. It seems appropriate
that Erin Murphy, as the Youth Coordinator and possibly Bev trvine be assigned to
work with two representatives, from the skateboarders, to investigate possible
locations for skateboarding.
The repon should be completed by the end of April so that the skateboarders will
have an answer before the summer months.

May Day Committee

SUBJECT:

Recommendations for 1993 May Day

Royal Party

There are three alternatives:
1.

No Change

Select one ambassador, random draw (could be male or female)
Consequence:
Could cause some unrest amongst the traditionalists in the
community as we could end up with a male representative.
Replace May Queen with two ambassadors - one male and one
female and the 1st Princess would be female
Record Bearer would be male
or
b)

Two Royal ambassadors and no change regarding 1st

3.

possibly to Wilson Centre.
Could cause problems with traditionalists with the May Day
Celebration.

Princess and Record Bearer
Consequences:
Increase cost of Selection Tea considerably, (for the
1.
refreshments as it would double the number of candidates.
Would result in a change of venue, because of numbers,
2.

if Committee would like to institute changes the May Day committee
recommends we go with a "traditional" May Queen (female) and Roya!
Ambassador (male) this year with looking at changing to two Ambassadors
(male 8 female) for the following year.

May Day Committee recommends:

"Chiidren 1hen 8 Now"
Moving Some Events to North Side:

After much discussion the recommendations are that none of the events
should be moved to the North Side.

Venues have been thoroughly examined for each event and have been found
to be the most suitable in every case.

To move any event will result in a large increase of costs and loss of
aesthetics in most cases.
