Road cost map kept secret -

A MAP that will show who pays and
who escapes the cost of street paving
is being kept under wraps.

City council has adopted a paving
plan that will designate main routes
and feeder streets as ‘‘essential’’
roads that will be maintained 100 per
cent by the city.

On other more residential streets,
paving and maintenance. costs will be
split, with residents paying 60 per cent
through Local Improvement Projects
(LIPs) and the city picking up 40 per
cent.

Christensen said the map has so far
stayed in-camera because it hasn’t
been finished yet.

Some streets have been identified as
city-pay,, some have been labeled
user-pay, and others that are harder to
identify one way or the other have not
yet been designated. -

Resolving those grey areas will be
city council’s problem, he said,

““We don't know which way council
wants to go on some of them,”
Christensen said. “Council’s going to
have to go through it in more detail

The pave plan and map could come

up for discussion at this Thursday’s.-
noon planning committee meeting at:

city hall.

The policy calls on the city to spend
at least $450,000 to $600,000 every
year on street improvements.

“The idea is to quit losing the battle
on infrastructure,” said public works
committee chairman Gordon Hull,

The plan initially called for 50-50
cost sharing between the city and
homeowners on non-essential strects,
but council later upped the residents’

-and decide what meyy want to do,”

share to 60 per cent...

Councillors split on ice fee hike

ADULT SKATERS could pay 20 per cent more to use the
Terrace arena in 1996,

City council is split on the issue, but the present recom-
mendation is to jack adult ice fees from $100 an hour to
$120 an hour.

Councillor David Hull, mayor Jack Tilstra, Thornhill
regional district director Peggy Julseth, and Lakelse
Lake/area C director Sandy Sandhals supported the 20 per
cent hike at the Oct. 27 recreation committee meeting.

Opposed are councillors Val George and Rich McDaniel,
who said the increase was too much. \

“T can’t for the life of me see how that’s a problem,”’
said Talstra, noting the $120 split between members of
hockey teams could be as little as $5 per player.

“J hate to be crass about it,”’ added David Hull, ‘But if
there is any year to play catch-up it’s. the year these people
are asking for a few bucks short of $3 million for a second
sheet.”

“$120 for 20 or 25 grown men to play hockey in a multi-
million dollar facility is still cheap recreation.”

George said he would not support an increase of more
than 10 per cent.

The full city council is expected to vote on the issue at
Monday night’s council meeting.

The youth rate is to bump up just under 10 per cent, from
$42 an hour to $46, The youth summer rate goes from $65 -

to $75 an hour.
The fees would give a projected 56 per cent cost-
recovery rate on the arena.

Across-the-board hikes of five per cent to pook tates will

yield cost-recovery of around 57 per cent.

Hull said the. “heavy subsidy of the arena and the three per

cent union wage increase —- which represents the bulk of
expenses — means at least a six per cent fee hike is needed
to keep pace. ' :
