with letter (b) above, be’ received. a Faoere ce ; Carried.

' Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, Alderman -Traboulay stated he
would Like clarification with respect to the position of the Board's nominee from
this Council, Alderman Meyer stated he intended to make that point, and advised
that he basically agreed with the letter. received from the Board relating. to muni-
cipal appointments to the extent that he did not believe the City's representative

should be responsible to the Council in.terms of his or her vote; on the other

; hand, he stated he was not in agreement. with the view that the City's representa-
tive would not particularly be responsible to Port Coquitlam and the tone of the
letter. that these members have the same independence. as an elected body. Alderman
Meyer stated he felt that the Council should be in harmony with the City's appoin~
tee in terms of exchange of informacion, and suggested that the reason for asking
Municipal Councils to appoint someone to. the Board was so that the Council would
be informed; also to have an agent through whom the Council could make its con-~
cerns known. | Alderman Laking pointed out that while Councils are asked to appoint
someone to the Board, that appointment must be in concurrence with all four areas
concerned and that the appointee be responsible to all four areas, not to just
one municipality.

Moved by *lderman Meyer: .

seconded by Alderman Thompson: .

That the Board of Trustees, Coquitlam and District Hospital Society, be in-
formed that the Port Coquitlam City Council generally appreciates the overall
jurisdiction of the.appointments; however, it does expect that when the appoint-
ments are made, the appdintees will conduct themselves in such a way so as to co-
operate fuily with, and where necessary. transmit the concerns of. the Municipal

Councils to. the Board. Defeated.
Alderman Meyer voted in favour of the resolution.

brior to the question being called on the original resolution of Aldermen
Laking and Ranger made earlier, a further discussion ensued, and on invitation of
His Worship the Mayor, Mrs. Angus commented that the Society required approval of
the Government for its Constitution and By-laws when these were sét up, and that
as appointees must be approved by all areas concerned, they are somewhat respons-

ible to all areas. Mrs. Angus further stated that at no time has she refused ac-

@evrate information. to the Council when called upon to give it, and that she feels

the Council: is going to have difficulty in securing future appointments if they
are treated the way she has been. Alderman Meyer referred to four quotations in
the letter from Mrs. Angus attributed directly to him and stated that the first

and second, relating to organizational boycott and the suggestion that the Hospital

Board is confused about the issue of the Hospital, respectively, are inaccurate.
