_ Mayor and Council . August 15, 1973

proposed by the memorandum does have the advantage that New Westminster can tell
us exactly what our contribution will be for the year which will facilitate

budgeting,
a :rofit on the service as only the actual costs incurred would be distrib

and there would be no question as to whether New Westminster is making
uted,

I would recommend that we advise the Attorney General's Department that we agree

that New Westminster should be reimbursed for their costs of operating the Coroner's
office and that we would agree with the basis proposed provided that all municipalities
making use of this service are included in the cost sharing as proposed in their
memorandum dated June 19, 1973. We should also request that they continue to notify
us of each case that involves the City so that we -have an opportunity to verify that
we are responsible; and request that they previde us with cost and statistics

annually to support the allocation of costs to the various municipalities.
