By ALLAN KRASNICK ‘Managing Editor Mickey Johnson has | Two s rejterated that any meetin . between ; himself an Terrace council would not interfere’ with legal proceedings the two parties, ve launched against each other, an Reacting to suggestions . by Mayor Dave Maroney that his lawyer's call for a. meeting was just.a ploy to move forward Johnson's” three cases agairist the — district, the ski shop owner said, “Qur — solicitor. (Christopher Harvey) made . it very clear to council and to the media that this meeting should not interfere with the legal p i roceedings. “Mr, Harvey did not, as - stated by Mr. Maroney, request that legal proceedings be ‘put aside’ or dropped.” . Maroney had said ‘that Harvey faulted by not- informing council, Monday night, that he had launched - three new actions against the city. on the previous’ “Friday. To Maroney, this iven the ‘wrong information or is deliberately attempting to mislead the public.” Johnson said his appeal for a private. meeting with council was a “sincere request,” And he noted that the ‘motion -before council Monday clearly. incorporated -his lawyer's main point: that’ an meeting not interfere wi e oceedings. . . Sohkson Said ihe latest legal actions initiated by his lawyer were designed to do ‘three things: - - : -Force a public hearing of the rezoning application for the 4700 Block Lazelle; .« Stay court proceedings until the public hearing is held; and: - Combine Supreme and County court actions together to simplify the. court process. ae “These legal manoeuvres should not be taken by Mr. Maroney to indicate that cur request for a meeting with council. was not sincere,” said Johnson, : : . “Previous requests by us. _by the proper ‘that communicating through the’ pleased. that council was planning a meeting with 4700 Block Lazelle property owners “if it is a. sincere attempt to discuss. the drawbacks in the building concept for the block. “We do feel, however, that this discussion could be accom lished’ at a formal. ublic earing as requested holders and the informal meeting does in fact .delay the rezoning process.” . ; Johnson said he regretted council was news media and through "lawyers rather than directly with'him. Reacting to Johnson's latest statement, Mayor Maroney said the ski shop owner's refusal to testify at Tuesday's examination for discovery in. the case “proves the justification for ’ not agreeing to his lawyer’s request for a meeting prior to the court proceedings.” . Added the mayor: One of -the actions . Johnson’s ‘lawyer is a filed by > provincial ides trade charges -: observations, that he had. petition to: the court to | _ “either. been -bypass the system laid out in the Municipal . Act: and ‘take away from municipal councils their sole perogative to zone Jand. “TF successful, this could have far-reaching repercussions such as if a party wished to obtain zoning, they would go throug I am sure -the government . would not allow such new ‘laws to be written in this province.” =. ‘ Maroney said it was Johnson, not: council, that was seeking pyiblicity in this. case. oo According to the mayor, Terrace has always sought to handle communications through appointed solicitors. He said that because Johnson was working council, the court system: rather than the municipal _ | i through the news media, the - district felt that ‘‘taxpayers, who are footing the costs of legal action, should be kept -informed of proceedings.”’. . ..Putting the final touches on the work they have been ' doing ARMA PR Fin ERE SMA on 2 ALD, a - Par ear TOL REP Nee hapa: for Terrace’s 50th Anniversary are Trevor.
