Council notes

Traffic tickets.
coming very soon

TERRACE — Delinquent
motorists can expect to start fin-
ding municipal parking tickets

on their windshield in about a”

month’s time.

With the ‘province’ 8, chief

judge having now approved the
fines proposed in the new by-
law, the city has now ordered a
supply of tickets, expected to
arrive by mid-June,

Administrator Bob Hallsor
said the city would then carry
out a publicity campaign advis-
ing motorists when by-law of-
ficer Fern Sweeting would begin
enforcing parking regulations,
The by-law provides for a $25
fine on a total of nine specified
infractions.

In. the meantime, Sweeting is
being kept busy dealing with
breaches of the city’s nuisance
by-law, particularly unsightly
premises complaints.

In a report covering the
period Jan. 1 to Apr, 30, she
said 43 such complaints were
dealt with, more than two thirds
of the total. They ranged from
removal of decaying fences and
derelict vehicles (15 in the case
of one picperty) to demolition
of old sheds.

Apart from a number of
minor clean-up jobs, Sweeting
said she had identified a further
Major ones that had yet to be
catried out. She also encourag-
ed residents to report any such
problems in their
neighbourhood “rather than
put up with unsightly proper-
ties.'?

Hallsor confirmed Sweeting
was in the process of drawing
up a list of major offenders — it
will include the property ad-
dress — to present to council in
the near future.

and no. ‘‘Playground’’ sign go-

ing north on Kalum.

Pointing out Kalum was
heavily used by “fast moving
traffic,’* the parents suggested
the appearance of a convenience
store/gas station across the
street increased the danger.
“Before a tragedy-happens, we
would like to see a fence and
another sign along Kalum,”’
they concluded,

“They probably make a good
point when they talk about
signs,’? mayor Jack Talstra
commented. The matter was
referred to this week’s finance
committee meeting.

Parks and recreation has been
given the go-ahead to spend up
to $3,500 on a used pick-up
truck. In making the request,
department head Steve Scott
noted the 1990 budget included
$11,800 to cover the rental of
two vehicles needed for
transportation of crews and
light haulage.

Purchasing a vehicle,
however, ‘would permit us to
operate it seasonally for two
years and retrieve some of the
cost through re-sale,’” he ex-

“plained. A second vehicle would is :

still be rented,.but for'a shorter J

period than orginally an-

ticipated, Scott added. .

Council approved: the request f.

provided the vehicle. be turned ‘
