. proposal. . The monies required to complete the preparation of the
site of the proposed tourist facility and to match the funds requested
from the federal government to hire the students required to man the
facility cannot, however, be dealt with in a provisional manner. These
funds are required to be firmly committed as soon as possible as the
Chamber cannot pay for the cost of preparing this site and matching
the funds requested from the federal government and the proposed
facility will proceed or it will not, depending upon whether or not
the three communities involved agree to provide the required funds.
Accordingly, we are requesting that your committee firmly commit the
sum of $2,450.00 toward the Coquitlam Chamber of Commerce fee for
service agreement for 1984, so that we may proceed with the proposed
temporary tourist facility in time for the 1984 tourist season. As
previously mentioned the balance of the monies originally requested

of your council namely $11,860.00, we would ask be committed only
provisionally pending a final decision to be madé following further
addresses from this Chamber.

We trust that you will discuss the proposal of the Coquitlam Chamber
of Commerce outlined herein at your next committee meeting and if
you should require further information or if you feel that the
Chamber should address your committee on this subject, please advise.
our General Manager, Diane Warfield (Telephone 464-2716) of your
requirements and we shall be pleased to provide whatever assistance

or information you should desire.

Yours truly,
