1 Ad Terrace Review — Wednesday, March 21, 1990: ity taxes to Terrace city council gave the first three readings to five bylaw amendments last week which will soon have an effect on your property taxes. Garbage collection, water and sewer connection rates, with the exception of residential garbage collection rates, will be going up 10 percent effective April This means that starting on that date city residents will be charged the basic garbage collection fee of $1.75 per week for up to three garbage cans, plus an additional 60 Claim for vet fees denied A-claim from a local resident for $50 in veterinary fees has been refused by Terrace city council. The application for reimbursement was made: a few weeks ago by Geniene Suther- land, who adopted two dogs from the Terrace Animal Shelter on Jan. 20 ; According to a report from a Feb. 12 in-camera Committee of the Whole meeting, Sutherland adopted two dogs from the shelter and discovered a short time later they were sick and in need of medical care. The ani- mal shelter refused reimburse- ment for Sutherland’s expenses, but the committee concluded that their handling of the case was appropriate and that the staff there ‘‘acted in a profes- sional and reasonable manner.”” Animal control officer Frank Bowsher describes the incident as unfortunate but says animal shelter staff advise anyone who | on April Fools’ De cents cach week for every extra can. Residents 65. years and older are exempt from this charge; . Local businesses will pay more; . though... $3.85 per garbage can per week and an additional $1.30 each week for every can in excess of three, Those using dumpsters will pay by the cubic yard. Each one- yard container will cost $6.45 per week, while two- and three-yard containers will cost $7.65 and $8.65 respectively. If they require pickup services more than once a week they will pay $4.90, $5.25 adopt a pet to take it to veterinarian for a check-up. He explains that the staff at the shelter do their best to determine adopted animals are healthy but they’re not medical profes- sionals. ; ; If a veterinarian finds that an animal is sick, says Bowsher, the shelter will either replace the animal or refund the adoption fee. In the Sutherland case, though, it was a full week before the dogs became ill and they were taken to the veterinarian. Bowsher says there is already a note on the adoption form ad- vising the new owner to have the pet checked, but council wants to make sure that the message is . clear. The ‘‘Adoption of Ani- - mal’? form presently in use is to — be reviewed to make certain new pet owners clearly understand their obligations to the pet they have adopted. __ BRITISH COLUMBIA RENTAL SUPPLY PROGRAM PHASE THREE CALL FOR PROPOSALS The British Columbia Housing Management Commission (BCHMC) invites proposals for new rental housing projects in areas throughout the Province with vacancy rates less than 2%. _ The goal of the B.C.

Water and sewer rates ‘get a little . | more complicated... even without worrying about the difference between folio and lot numbers. There is a minimum frontage charge of 100 feet and a maximum of 225 feet. This means that if you own a 33-foot lot you pay for 100 feet, if you own a.500-foot lot you | only pay for 225 feet. Other " complicating factors include the way you're using your land, residential or business for example, and how and when the water or sewer line was put in. If you paid for the line through a Local Im- provement Program, for example, you pay a lower frontage rate for the first 10 years. Without getting into all ‘these | complications, though, there’s only on€ thing you really need to know. | Water and sewer. services are going to cost you 10 percent more — than they did last year. The city ‘hopes to raise about $429,000 through sewer and water, revenues to pay for the maintenance of existing services. . rf Family-style homes for people with handicaps In 1981, British Columbia began returning men and women with mental handicaps to residen- tial neighborhoods, moving them from Woodlands, services anyway.
