September 8th, 1975

Alderman Ranger suggested that some improved type of directional

signs to the City's Recreational facilities should be investigated and

members of Council generally agreed that this be undertaken by the

Public Works Committee.

Alderman Mabbett advised that the Hyde Creek Centre was unofficially

opened today and that he hoped the public will participate in using the

various facilities featured at the Centre, such as the new indoor swimming

pool, etc. Alderman Mabbett further advised that a letter of invitation

to attend the official opening of the Centre offering a choice of two

dates, namely October 18th and October 25th, had been sent to Premier

Barrett and as soon as a reply is received from him signifying the date
most convenient, invitations to others will be mailed.
Alderman Mabbett stated he understood the road to the Schinz property

was to be barricaded off; however, he noted this had not yet been done.

Alderman Mabbett requested the City Engineer to investigate the

feasibility of installing one or two additional street lights in the vicinity

of the Coast Meridian Road-Birchland Avenue intersection.

That a letter be sent to the Provincial Department of Highways registering
the Council's concern at the construction of a center-supporting pier for
the new Lougheed Highway bridge over the Coquitlam River and advising that the

City of Port Coquitlam is not prepared at any time to accept any responsibility

for flooding of that river resulting from the pile-up of debris held back by the

pier. Carried.

Alderman Keryluk voted against the resolution.

Alderman Thompson advised that the Planning Officer is attempting
to arrange a meeting with the District of Coquitlam's Planner with
respect to the Regional Town Centre designation and the Planning Officer
advised that the District's Planner first has to obtain permission from
his Council to participate; however, it is hoped the meeting can be held
on Thursday, September 18th, 1975 at 9:30 a.m.

Alderman Traboulay then gave notice of a motion he intended to
submit to ban stump burning in the City of Port Coquitlam, and he referred

to the smoke nuisance caused by land clearing presently underway at the

Nu-West development site on Cedar Drive.
