Dear Ms. Muldson:
«In response to our recent telephone conversation, I have enclosed:

1) a general surmary of the vector coatrol orocran,

2) a sumary of the 1991 mosquito/wasp/roden= ccntpol
Sumer progran,

3) a corparison of the nuzbers of complaints received
per municipality fron 1979 thr Septenber, 1931,
As this conparisca shows, complaint aunbers is nat
a static situation.

>

4s to my opinion of Port Moody's request to reduce the:

the vector control oresram fram 15.2553 to 10% (a savin:

$1786.70 for the 1922 pronosed vector control tudget},

that this is a decision to be made ty municipal couicils.

Simon Fraser Health District's cost shaving formula is based on

population size which , Considering the dynamic nunber of complaints

received, I consider to be fair and equitable on a long tera basis.

If you would like me to personally address the Mivironrental -
Section Comittee or council. on the above matters and nerhans

provide some infomation on techniques, problens, ete., I would

be pleased to attend at your convenience.
