Mayor and Members of Council DATE: December 3, 1974

FROM: Health Committee U i

UDU - J 19/4

The Health Committee met in the Council. Chambers of the City Hall on Tuesday,
November 26, 1974. A number of items were discussed:

1. Poco House —

Provincial funding of Poco House is continuing, however, it is now subject to a quarterly
review by the Drug and Alcohol Commission. One of the requirements of the Drug and
Alcohol Commission has been that we establish a form of management committee to oversee
the operation of Poco House. The nucleus of this cormittee will, of course, be the
Health Committee, however, the Health Committee will be adding representatives from the
R.C.M.P. Probation Recreation Department, schools and Human Resources. The Committee
held its first meeting on December 3rd and representatives included Mr. Jack Klein
Counsellor from Poco High, Mr. Mark Bailer from the R.C.M.P., Janna Taylor from the
Port Coquitlam Recreation Department, Mr. Jerry Coulter Probation Officer and, Mr. Gur
Dahmi from the Department of Human Resources. The Committee will be meeting once a
month and the representatives will be bringing to the Committee any feedback they get
from the public and any ideas on how to improve the service that Poco House provides.
A summary report which was presented to the Committee is attached and a further more
detailed report will be prepared in January to summarize the years activities for Poco

House.

2. Noise Control By-law —

The committee has completed a draft for a noise control by-law with the assistance of
Mr. John Gibb from the Simon Fraser Health Unit and Art Guite the Vector Control Officer.
This by~law has been referred to the City Solicitor and a number of changes have been
recommended and included in the by~law. The Solicitor has indicated that he has some
misgivings about. the legality of the by~law and therefore. the committee feels that this
should be a matter for further consideration by the Health Committee. The Committee
recommends that the 1975 Health Committee take the matter under further advisement

before making a recommendation to Council in connection with this particular by-law.

3.. Community Care Facilities Licence ~ 1455 Prairie Avenue

Council will recall that property located at 1455 Prairie Avenue was rezoned a short

time ago from RS-2 to RS-1 to permit the use of the property as a personal care home

for five boarders. The Health Committee recommended that the application be approved

as it was in accordance with our current by-law and Council subsequently approved the
issuance of a licence to Mr. Roy Onstine. We have now received notification from the
Simon Fraser Heaith Unit that Mr. Onstine's son and his daughter-in-law will be operating
the home and the Simon Fraser Health Unit is processing a licence application for the
mew applicants. They have asked for Council's acceptance of the change of operator.

The Health Committee recommends that the application be approved.
