~2Q—

With three teachers, including a librarian, on Council, hopefully
the concept of the importance of increased information to all is quite
Clear. In addition, Alderman Michael Wright made greater public information
on Council affairs a key campaign issue. With November's municipal
election fast approaching, the people of Port Coquitiam will be all the
more interested inknowing how Council is conducting municipal affairs.
It is the people's right to know and, I believe, municipal affairs

are of personal interest to all of us.

Let us hope that Council will bear in mind the words of one Council
- Member, that "there is nothing sacred about Monday" and that "it is not
‘a sacred cow." Rather I would hope that Council will endorse the words
of Alderman Len Traboulay, "Anything to increase, encourage public
participation, I'm all for."

- Let-us bear in mind, too, “better informed, better input,
better government."-

Sincerely,

Kathleen Muldoon —
