SUBJECT:

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Parks and Recreation
Committee approve, in principle, the proposal to
modify the Terry Fox Library to install a book drop.

To Install Book Drop —

Terry Fox Library

Purpose/Problem:
The purpose of this report fs to provide information and a
recommendation to the Parks and Recreation Committee regarding a
proposal received from the Ada Conn of the Fraser Valley Regional
Library System to install a book drop at the Terry Fox Library.

Background Information:
We

have met with Ada Conn on a number of occasions

to discuss the

possibility of modifying the Terry Fox Library to install a book drop.
Since that time, they have narrowed the location down as outlined on
the attached letter and now are requesting approval to proceed with

this project once f'unding has been finalized,
It is my understanding that due to budget restraints this
will likely not go ahead until 1994 but it is appropriate proJect
at this
time that we consider giving them approval in principle so that they
may plan appropriately.
Alternatives:
The Parks and Recreation Committee may approve or deny this

request.

months and have reached a conclusion that the one proposed ln the

our concerns around access and pull-off parking for the public.

Subject:

Soil Material Choice - Peace Park

Recommendationt

It is recommended that we use soil native to the area to cover the sand base at the Peace
Park.
I

Purpose/Problem t
The purpose of this report is to provide information on the type of soil to be used at
the
Peace Park.

Background gr Comments:
The existing material on the park area is sand pumped from the river. It was
planned to
raise the berms and the park area witn this materiah Unfortunately, grass planted
on sand
requires water on a daily basis. As there is a good possibility of another sptmkler ban this
year it would seem foolish to proceed this way.

Alternative:
There is an abundant choice cf soil native to the area available that have excellent
qualities for building a park. With the sand base this soil will provide us with
good
drainage and an excellent park.

JUZ 24 Sgs

Other:
If we prcceed with soil that is native to the area we wiU be able to save some money.
Brian Guzzi, who designed another Peace Park in Vancouver mentioned it could be used
to purchase a peace marker for the site.

Conclusion:
In the Peace Park, it would seem appropriate to use soil native to the area. Then, if we
have a sprinkler ban, the grass will survive without sprinkling.

tenders

Larry,

have reviewed the mechanical specifications for the tenders recently
received for the ice machine.
I

The zamboni tender from Crocker Equipment meets the mechanical
specifications tendered by your department, however it is the high bid.
The low bid does not meet the specifications as requested.
Possible problem areas:
1) Tires, we have tdied the type supplied on the low bid machine, on our exiting
units as well as a similar machine to the low bid we had in the past.
2) The much larger engine on the low bid machine will burn considerably

more fuel.

3) The similar unit to the low bid machine we had in the past did not do its job well.

Maintenance wise it was near equal, but complaints of not cleaning the ice
were frequent. The manufacturer was unable to correct problem. We eventually
sold unit before its scheduled replacement date.

Port Coquitlam's participation in the Pacific Rim Challenge with
success. We had the highest registered return
for our population, which I feel is pretty exciting.

Hong Kong was a great

Our fitness programs for the day were offered "2 for 1 Bring a Friend
for Free". Cur special event, the fitness " Hoe Down ", was a free
evening of line dancing for the community at Wilson Centre from 7-9
pm. Special thanks to the two line dance instructors, Ellen and

Peggy, who volunteered their time, music and enthusiasm to foster a
fun and enjoyable evening for almost 100 participants of ail ages.

Advertising for this event included press releases, community posters
and flyer distribution throughout our recreational programs.

The

local t.acher's paper strike eliminated advertising through schools so
an ad vas placed in the local newspaper.
Port Coquitlam's had approximately 6000 registered participants.
Greater Vancouver's total number of participants equalled 122,273,000
In comparison, Hong Kong had an overwhelming 4,400,000 registered
participants, (76K of it's total population,) and they spent over half
a million dollars on promotion.
Rosemary Bonderud, the Greater Vancouver Coordinator, felt that the
Vancouver teacher's stri'ke, which affected 60,000 — 70,000 students,

significantly reduced participation in the event.

Overall, the event was a success in fulfilling it's goal of promoting
physical fitness and it was a positive community bui.lding event.
