would cdvise that the same ves placed keforc our regular neeting of the turietpal
Councti of tha Corporation of tke City of Port Coquitlem at whnten tine the
follerin> resolutic: was paustd:

“That tie Seeratary of Etate be advised that the application

the "Intensified Crow:d Control ef hesquitos" vas for a
completely new ucthod of nosquito control and was therefore
very innovative: ‘

£3) THAT the extreme dissppointrent of the Council Le
expresscé over the unfeveuratle corsideration ¢rartee
this project."

The previews Vesquite Centrsl wcathess in this City haa iInvelved the
use of afreraft verferning certel scrarn and sinee the Council vere very concerned
whether tue. damage te the envirornent that could conceivably be cauncda by such
sprayiuy and the meny objvetions reecivec ty various persens to heavine their property °
Bpreycd on waut they cleimed sas an indfecrimicote basis, tne Cotretl asreed that
@ progray of ground certrel could be cerrdicd out tuis year to test its effectivenesa,

Te is, of course, possitle thet this aspect of the situntion was not
sufficiently stressec fa the application for epproval to the project (to which the
number 520-0534 has heen attached) «xd Lf there is’ any vay for tie prefscet te be
reconsidered on this basis, our Council vould very ruch appreciate heving this cone.

Although various Council rembers did feel that cur rosculto control
pregran was worthy of greater corsideretion then that given to ecru other approved

supported by our Council. ;
