Re: Vector Control Officers’ Conference

Our Vector Control Officer John Nelson has requested authority to attend

the Annual Conference of the Northwest Mosquito and Vector Control Officers
Association which will be held in Olympia, Washington, October 7th, 8th, and
9th, 1975.

We have in the past, sent the Vector Control Officer to these Conferences

and the expenses have been jointly shared with Coquitlam and Port Moody out
of the Vector Control Budget. I would recommend that Mr. John Nelson attend
the above-noted Conference and that his expenses be paid.

Purchase of Property — Lynwood Avenue

Council will recall that we were approached by the owners of property
at 1065 Lynwood Avenue described as Lot 200 of Plan 36681 (Please see
attached sketch). ue

This property was described as one that should be acquired in conjunction
with our Nature Area acquisitions. This parcel is approximately 1.9 acres
and the owners have agreed to sell to the City for the sum of $36,000.

I understand: that they will agree to terms of $20,000. down plus the
balance in one year with interest at 11%, however, it may be to our
advantage to pay the total purchase price upon acquisition and thereby
save some $2,000. in interest costs as the money is available in our

Tax Sale Land Account. .

I would recommend to Council that-the purchase. price -be accepted and. that
the funds provided from our Tax Sale Land Account.
