The ‘uayor & Council,

The City of rort Coquitlam,
2272 McAllister Ave.,

Port Coquitlam, B.v.

Vear Sirs:

Kee Hawthorne Lodge (Intermediate Vare Home)

For the past two years the City of Port Coquitlam has been
generous gnough to waive property taxes on the above noted.
This concession has enabled the society to keep operating
costs as low as is compatible with the levels of care
required by the guests.

As you are aware there was some talk that the facility would
become under the control of and be funded by the provincial
government. At this point there has been no further action.

Presently the Dept. of Human -Nesources are picking up a portion
of the deficit, and we must continue to keep costs as low as

possible.

We would therefore respectfully request City Council by Sy-law
to exempt dawthorne Lodge from taxes on property. It being
fully understood that such concession be in effect only so
long as the Port Coquitlam >enior Citizens Housing Society
holds title to the property.

Trusting the above will recieve your favourable consideration
remain.

Yours very truly,
