TERRACE — Following
the announcement of the

1987-88 budget for North- -
west Community College :

(NWCC), a representative
of the academic workers
at the college said it’s time
for the NWCC board to
have elected members in-
stead of government .ap-
pointees, _

’ George Stanley, an
English instructor, voiced

objections to the $6.

million ._ budget and in-

dicated there. would be .

greater accountability to
the community if board
- membership depended on
elections instead of
ministerial appointments.

“'There’s no reason at

all for ‘the cutbacks to.

academic . programs,”’
Stanley commented.
_“They.(the board) say it’s
because of a tight budget,

but that’s not an adequate:

explanation — the budget
increased by seven per-
‘cent. They’ve also said the

Human: Service Worker:

program was cut by Vic-
toria, but that isn’t an

adequate explanation
either. The Ministry’s ad-
vice is just guidelines, and

they aren’t required to

follow them, particularly
if there is'a demand for
the program in the com-
munity.’ .
Stanley also expressed
dissatisfaction with an an-
nouncement.. he said ac-
companied the budget
statement by college ad-
ministration indicating
there is.no provision in the
budget for | instructor
salary raises,
that’s very unusual,’’ he
remarked. ‘‘Normally

‘there would be a portion.

of the budget set aside for
salary increases, but the _
amount would not be

disclosed: because that
would interfere with
negotiations.’”

‘The announcement that” |

there is nothing in the
budget for salary increases

_ will have the effect of pre-

empting the salary
negotiations in collective
bargaining between staff
and administration.

‘I'd say -

city council . decided
unanimously. on April 27
to refund ‘about $700 in

late payment penalties
‘charged against . local
property owners last year.

'The penalties came

about .as a result of a-

change in the due date for
payment of -municipal

utility: bills, “Council. .

originally. changed the
date with the intent of
reducing. line-ups and in-
convenience for people
paying municipal taxes
and utility charges on the

-At the April 27. meeting
Clark said he was:satisfied

_ the refunds would not. set
an. unhealthy precedent

favor of the motion.

The problems involved

with hoards of ratepayers
‘descending on city hall on

‘the last day of the second .

parently remain unsolved. .

Clark said the best way of
dealing with it will prob-
ably be to encourage peo-
ple to pay their bills-early,
