i. Sanitary Sewer Connection for Oxbow Ranch Area

The attached letter has been received from the District of Coquitlam
requesting Council's consideration of a sewer connection to service the

Oxbow Ranch area. The City Engineer has briefly considered this request
from the point of view of the capacity of the existing sewer lines in the
area. The District has not provided us with any specific information on
the flow that could be expected from the proposed development to enable
Staff to report on this request, nor have we investigated the effect of
granting such a connection on our pollution control permit.

Council may wish to discuss the. principal of serving outside of our

boundaries before a Sreat deal of work and investigation is carried out on

the technical aspects of the problem. If Council wishes the matter pursued

further, perhaps it could be referred to the Public Works Committee for

further investigation and discussion with the District of Coquitlam.

2. Parks and Recreation Conference

We have notiffction that the 1972 conference of the National
Recreation and Parks Association will be held in Vancouver from April 30 to
May 3, 1972. Clyde Griffith has attended this conference in the past and
I would recommend that he be authorized to attend and that his expenses
be paid.

In view of the fact that the conference is located in Vancouver
this year, the City Engineer has requested that John Gore be authorized to
attend also. Some of the sessions involve discussions on facility design,
park planning, and tours. of various facilities; and as the Engineering
Department: are directly involved in construction and maintenance of the

City facilities, it might be beneficial to have an Engineering representative

attend.
