Financing Garbage Services

The Committee discussed the question of financing of our Garbage operation at
length and will be making a report to the Public Works Committee for incorporation
.in a general report to Councflon this particular question.

‘Flood Control Works

Council will recall our previous discussion regarding the Federal-Provincial
'Dyking Programme which involves upgrading of all dykes and internal drainage
facilities in the City.

One of the requirements of the Department of Water Resources at the time of our
initial application several years ago,was that the District of Coquitlam and
the City of Port Coquitlam would have to agree to take over the maintenance and
operation of the facilities after the upgrading. The City and the District
agreed to take over the system on a joint basis and an application was sub-
mitted to the Province in the name of the City in order to initiate the project.

We are now at the point where Victoria require a formal agreement between the
City and the District covering the joint operation of the facilities. Coquitlam
had suggested that each municipality look after their own maintenance, however,
this is not acceptable to Victoria. Among other things, they have pointed out
that Federal approval was originally obtained on the basis that it would be a
joint operation and to change the application at this point to permit individual
application would require a change in the. application in Ottawa. They indicated
this may very well jeopardize our priority position. We therefore, have had
some preliminary meetings with Coquitlam to determine the form that the Inter—
municipal Agreement would take and one of the primary items to be resolved is
the matter of cost sharing between the two municipalities.

-It has been proposed that the Greater Vancouver Sewage and Drainage District
be engaged to carry out a study of the area to determine the basis of cost.
sharing between the two municipalities. The Sewage District has carried out
similar studies in the Lower Mainland for other joint drainage areas.

Mr. Bunnell of the G.V.S.&.D.D. has indicated that the report could be carried
out for the sum of $2000.00. In addition when the matter was being discussed |
‘with Mr. Bunnell, he indicated that the G.V.S.&.D.D. would upon request, submit
a proposal to the two municipalities whereby a drainage area would be declared
and would be operated and maintained by the G.V.S.&.D.D. (with the possibility
that some or all of the works, operation and maintenance could be handled by
either municipality for the G.V.S.&.D.D.). The G.V.S.&.D.D. has pursued this
