Re: Vector Control Officers Conference

Council may be aware that our Vector Control Officer, John Nelson, resigned
effective August 3lst, 1977 and he has been replaced by Mr. Tony Kluge.

Mr. Kluge is fully qualified in this field, holding a Bachelor of Science

Degree and has considerable experience in Vector Control.

Mr. Kluge has asked about attendance at the Northwest Mosquito Control Conference
October llth to 13th, 1977 in Calgary. John Nelson was intending to go to this
Conference and the required amount has been included in the 1977 Vector Control
Budget. Although Mr. Kluge will only have been on the job just over a month,

I feel that there would be an advantage in him attending as it is the main

conference annually that deals with: new methods of pest control and vector

ae

control and it is attended by many of the Provincial Department of Agriculture

As

officials. It would be an advantage therefore to have Mr. Kluge attend this

to provide continuity to the Vector Control Programme rather than to wait a full

‘year until this conference comes up again.

I would recommend that Council approve Mr. Kluge's attendance at this conference
and that his expenses be paid, the amounts to be charged to the Intermunicipal

Vector Control Budget.
