THREE-MONTH SHUTDOWN ENDS

West Fraser restarts sawmill

TIME IS running out for
Terrace and the regional dis-
trict to come up with a cost
sharing agreement for fire
dispatch services.

The city is looking to get
more than $60,000 from the
regional district for the serv-
ice, which dispatches emer-
gency crews to ‘Terrace,
Thomhill and the surround-

‘ ing communilies.

But Thornhill director Les.
: Watmough and.regional dis-_ .

trict staff have balked at the
city’s request, instead offer-
ing to pay $30,000.

The city says dispatch
costs Terrace more than
$200,000 annually, and is a
bargain for Thornhill at
$60,000.

“In all honesty, the service
is worth more than that,”
says councilor David Hull.
“You couldn't start your
own service for that much.”

Hull says the city is fairly ©

entrenched in their position,
but they will continue to
negotiate as the deadline
nears. That deadline is Mar.

21, when the regional dis- +} |
lrict needs to have their | —

budget finalized,

“The window is getting nar-.

tower and narrower,” Hull
says. “If we can’t reach a deal
with the area directors, then
we'll take it straight to the
board, We don’t want time to
kibosh this thing, it’s not fair
to the taxpayers.”

But Thornhill director Les
Watmough says the regional
district needs to be clear about
what it is paying for before
any deal is made.

“We wanl clarification of

the amount of time dispatch
people spend working dis-
patch and how much they
spend doing other things for

the city,” he says. “We want to .
come up with a fair number,.

not an imaginary one.”

Watmough says the regional
district’s offer of $30,000
could rise, depending on how
much work is done by dis-
patch for the city.

“But it won't rise as much
as they expect it to,” he adds,

The two sides will meet
again this Saturday to try and
come up with a deal.

AS special gratitude to all friends and patients for their understand-
