Council Shorts City, union agree again THE CITY’s unionized workers have accepted an offer of a 1.25 per cent pay increase for 1999, CUPE local 2012 agreed to zoll over all other existing terms of the existing collec- tive agreement. The pay increase is similar to that of the past three years, in which the city workers got a 1.25 per cent raise in 1996 and 1.5 per cent in each of the last two years. Rich McDaniel City’s RD reps stay on MAYOR Jack Talstra and councillor Rich McDaniel will remain the city’s repre- sentatives to the Kitimat- Stikine Regional District for 1999. The incumbent RD reps went unchallenged Friday whea councillors were to conduct their annual vote on the appointments, Councillors Linda Hawes and Olga Power were ac- claimed as alternates to Tal- stra and McDaniel. Fireworks idea killed CITY COUNCIL won't al- low expanded — fireworks sales at times of the year other than Halloween. The request by Gorilla Fireworks to sell fireworks near other holidays — such as New: Year’s Day, Vic- toria Day, Canada Day and B.C. Day — was quickly re- jected by city councillors at a committee meeting Friday. Councillors David Hull aid Ron Vanderlee said they were strongly opposed. on the basis of injuries to children caused by fireworks and other public safety hazards, Fire chief Randy Smith said he can still issue permits for fireworks displays to groups that apply and get some basic coaching from the fire department on safe use and storage. Banners cost lots THE .CQLOURFUL ban- ners along the bridges are the work of the Chamber of Commerce — not the city, city councillors here were told. Economic development officer Ken Veldman said local citizen Audrie Cox’s request that the banners be expanded to the downtown’ area would be up to the chamber. He was noi optimistic the chamber could afford a major expansion of the ban- ner program. — “Banners are expensive,’ Me Veldman told councillors, : Nov. 27. “I think they’ re pretty much at their limit,”” The city is looking at Cox's other suggestion that an adopt-a-strect ‘program be set up here to promote cleaning and beautification of city streets and boule- vards.
