REPORTS:

From Mayor J.M. Campbell, October 18th, 1974 concerning the Provincial Mayor Campbell

re Welfare

Government's over-run on Welfare, stating his view that "if we accept over-run

the overpayment, we are accepting the principle of uncontrolled budgeting

and I am totally opposed to this" and suggesting to the Council "that we

do not pay this over-run."

A rebuttal to the abovestated report was submitted by Alderman Alderman

Keryluk re
Welfare over-
run

Keryluk, dated October 21st, 1974, together with an attachment showing
the breakdown of the estimated over-run as projected for the balance of
the fiscal year ending March 3lst, 1975, and pointing out in his report
that the over-run is due to commitments under new programs such as
Mincome, Pharmacare, Child Day Care, Special Services to Children and
Adult Care, for which there were no models to estimate the number of
people eligible.

Alderman Keryluk referred to the figure of "14.4%" in the last

paragraph of his report, and advised this should read “average of 19%"
instead.

Moved by Alderman Laking:

Seconded by Alderman Mabbett:

That the Provincial Government be notified the City of Port Coquitlam

will not pay its share of the Social Welfare over-run. Defeated.
Mayor Campbell and Alderman Laking voted in favour of the resolution.

Prior to defeat of the foregoing resolution, Alderman Traboulay
commented that the City has had over-runs in various departments; however,
Mayor Campbell pointed out that the City's over-runs amount to only
about 10%, not 40%. Alderman Ranger stated that the City's Recreation
and garbage disposal budgets are already over~run with still one~quarter
of the year to go, and commented that a budget is only a guide line.
Mayor Campbell stated that from a business viewpoint, budgeting is very
important and refusing to pay the over-run is one way of indicating to
the Provincial Government that the City does not agree with its business

tactics.
