Council shorts

Property sales lucrative

THE CITY’S LAND acquisition account swelled by more than
’ $300,000 last year,

Entering 1992 with just $83,000 in that reserve fund, the city
pulled in $424,000 during the year from the sale of properties (the
Maroney and Walsh Ave. bench lots, for example) and interest
eamed on that money.

‘During the same period, it spent $122,000 on putting in services
and legal and survey costs to leave a final balance of $385,464.
Land acquisition is a separate account and therefore does not affect
the city’s normal operating budget.

Councillors get pay hike

COUNCIL HAS AWARDED itself a 3.9 per cent pay increase,
raising the mayor's annual indemnity to $19,666 while council
members receive $8,573, effective Jan. 1 of this year. Those figures
include an amount for expenses.

The 3.9 per cent figure matches the increase in the Vancouver
consumer price index between Nov. 1991 and Dec. 1992 and is in
line with the indemnity increase policy adopted by council in 1988.

Earlier this month the city’s hourly employces signed a new three
year contract which averaged out at a 3.8 per cent per annum in-
crease.

Negotiations are continuing betwcen the cily and its management
staff with a final settlement expected to be finalized by the end of
next month.

Rider calls for racks

ALOCAL RESIDENT wants more and better quality bike racks in-
stalled at the public library.

“My bike tires are too wide and do not fit in the cement bike
racks,’” Yvonne Nielsen explained, suggesting library racks should
be the same as those found at the swimming pool, R.E.M, Lee
Theatre and Northwest Community College.

‘Noting she had unsuccessfully lobbied library board members and
library staff on the matter for the past four years, Nielsen asked
council to take action. The suggestion was referred to the com-
munity services/recreation committee.

Subdivision break sought

A LOCAL COUPLE wants a relaxation of city building by-laws to
‘ subdivide a lot at the coraer of Eby and Loen.

_, Scott and Linda Huffman intend to build a single family dwelling

and attached garage between the existing house and Eby with ac-

cess from Loen.

' That would mean what is now the side yard of the existing house

would become its front yard. However, that new frant yard would
imot meet present minimum depth requirements.

The request has been referred to the planning committee.

TERRACE — Only one-third of
one per cent of all people now
collecting UI in this area would
have been disqualified under pro-
posed legislation.

The changes will disqualify
people from collecting benefits
who leave their jobs without just
cause or who are fired for mis-
conduct.

But that would have affected
only 16 of 4,830 peaple with Ul
claims on file at the Terrace of-
fice as of January, an. employ-
ment centre official said last
week,

“This is based on a statistical
average,’’ said James Gilham, the
labour market analyst for the
employment centre. ©

He said the aanual savings
would be approximately $50,000
based on the analysis.

UI payments in this area —
from Houston to Salvus, north to
Telegraph Creek and south to
Kemano — amounted to $4,978
million in January.

The federal government’s pro-
posed denial of unemployment
insurance benefils to peaple who
quit without just cause or who
were fired drew large protests,

Amendments to the proposals
outline 40 reasons already al-
lowed as just cause.

And, - people who leave
voluntarily to” protect jobs of
remaining workers would not be
denied benefits under. the pro-
posed amendments.

There is no change to the
original proposal to reduce pay-
ments from 60 to 57 per cent of
earnings. ,

But that would be in effect for
only two years, beginning April 4
of this year if the proposals be-
come law,

Skeena NDP Jim Fulton says he
is still not happy with the amend-

ments, adding they will penalize .
people who work in northern

parts of the country.

People who quit their jobs after

a pericd of separation from their
families could still be disqualified
from payments ‘because’ «the
amendments are not specific
enough, he said.

Fulton added that appeals by

. those denied benefits. will only

clog up a system that is already
overloaded.
