V3C 2M3 Ph: (604) 464-3461 5 3 ep tember 30 3 : 9 87 Our file Notre féférence OCT 5 ~ 1967 Mayor TRABOULAY 2272 McAllister Avenue Port Coquitlam, 8B. C. V3C 2A8 Your WORSHIP, As treasurer of the British Columbia Association of Police Affiliated Victim Witness Services, I became aware of funding from the Ministry of the Attorney General for victim service programs. As a result, I have applied for funding in the sum of eighteen thousand, two hundred and seventy dollars ($18,270.00) for funding of an assistant coordinator of our victim services program. In particular, funding for my volunteer coordinator, Pat BAN, who herself is also a volunteer. On September 20, 1987, Brian POLLICK, director of Special projects for the Ministry stated I would have these funds for my program. Likewise, Linda LIGHT, Program Manager of Victim Services for the Ministry stated the same af- firmation on September 29, 1987. The Ministry of the Attorney General has agreed to fund up to fifty per cent (50%) of existing victim service programs. My calculations show that I presently spend thirty-nine per cent (39%) of my time in the victim service area. Therefore, this represents approximately twenty three thousand, one hundred and twenty-three dollars ($23,123) of the Community Resources Unit's budget. In order to secure funding for a Victim Services Assistant Coordinator, I need to show the Ministry that I am the Coordinator of the Coquitlam/ Port Coquitlam R.C.M.P. victim Services program. When employed, I was asked to enhance our Victim Service Program and I believe I have done so whereas we offer every service available by any other police~ based victim service program in the province. We have also been rec- ognized by the Federal and Provincial governments as a leader in the field of police~based victim services. In order to secure this provincial funding I request that council amend my present contract to reflect recognition that; l. I am the Coordinator of the Coquitlam/Port Coquitlam Canada 39
