Page A2 — Terrace Standard, Wednesday, March 14, 1990 [CITY] Code fines delayed The city has dropped plans to include building code in- fractions in the list of by-law’ offences that will draw fines — at least for the time being. “In recommending the move to council, ad- ministrator Bob Hallsor said it was necessary because of a contradiction between the terms of the proposed ticketing by-law and existing city regulations. While the new by-law specified a $100 fine for breaches of the building code, the city’s old building regulation by-law set the minimum.. fine at $1,000, That latter figure is double the amount permitted under provincial enabling legisla- -tion. ‘The. attorney-general's ministry says the offence sec- tion of the old by-law would have to be amended before building. code infractions could be included in the ticketing regulations. To prevent further delay in introducing the ticket/fine system, Hallsor suggested the city simply remove building code offences from the new by-law. The building regula- tion by-law could be amend- ed to conform to the provin- cial guidelines and code of- fences added to the ticketing by-law at a later date. Rec delegation Council has approved recreation department plans to send four people to this year’s B.C. Recreation and Parks association conference in Castlegar. In making the request, recreation superintendent Steve Scott pointed out Ter- race will host the conference in 1991. and each of the delegates .— ‘three city employees and one member of the recreation advisory commission — sat on the local organizing committee.

However, while the values might be the same, the differences emerged when translating them into policy, Another challenge facing the body is to develop a credible in- formation base. While a lot of statistical data was available, he said there were often ques- tions about how individual in- terests interpreted that same in- formation. ‘‘A lot of people out there are confused as to just what is truth," Doney added, Although he anticipated it could take up to a year to bring forward the sustainable development strategy, Con- naghan said some suggestions, including. methods for resolving land use disputes, could be ready before then.
