August lith, 1975

and Alderman Traboulay stated he would contact the consultants further
on this; however, the rest of the building appears sound. Mayor Campbell
then requested that any ideas on restoring the building be submitted in
writing.

Alderman Ranger advised that he had viewed a number of two and
three bay fire halls while on vacation in Eastern Canada, and that the
1974 construction cost was $40.00 per square foot for concrete block
with brick facing, and it was agreed that he and Alderman Traboulay
would provide the consultant designing the City’s North Side fire hall
with the information he had obtained.

Alderman Ranger referred to the portion of the Coquitlam River that
has been posted by the Simon Fraser Health Unit as being polluted and
Alderman Mabbett advised that an effort is being made to determine where
the pollution is originating from in order that it can be corrected.

Alderman Traboulay referred to the feasibility study for a Regional
Auditorium in School District No. 43 (Coquitlam), and Alderman Laking
advised that a decision will be made by the three municipalities concerned
and the School Board; however, the matter has been tabled until it is
known where the Town Centre will be situated.

Alderman Traboulay referred to the proposed dyking and drainage
improvements to be constructed in the City on a 50/50 cost-sharing basis
with the Provincial Government, and Mayor Campbell advised that the

dyking should proceed, but only on the City's side of the Pitt River as

there is a shortage of funds. Alderman Laking stated his understanding

that there is no money available at this time for improvements to the
internal drainage system.

Alderman Traboulay suggested there should be greater surveillance
of traffic at Columbia Avenue and Pitt River Road in view of the present
speeding problem.

Alderman Mabbett inquired whether there has been any new developments
with respect to the proposed shopping centre on the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company property South of the Lougheed Highway, and East of
Shaughnessy Street, and Mayor Campbell advised he would be meeting with
officials of Marathon Realty Ltd., the Railway Company's real estate
firm, shortly and would endeavour to obtain more information in that

regard from them at that time.
