July 22nd, 1974

two municipalities in School District #43 are paying for their own patrols.

The Jetter also pointed out that they understood that Legislatior was being

considered Provincially to provide such patrols and the Association asked
for clarification and assurance that some action would be taken before school
opening in September.

A memorandum was also considered from Alderman P.F. Ranger, July 22,
1974 relating to this subject and listing several points that need clarifi-
cation from the Provincial Government as follows:

1. What agency will hire personnel, Provincial Government, School Board or

Municipal Government?

What agency will pay for guards, or will it be on a cost sharing basis?

Who will determine where and when Adult Safety Patrols are needed?

What will the qualifications of personnel be?

addition the report recommended that the City of Fort Coquitlam make avail-
able one of our By-law Enforcement Officers for duty in patrolling this inter-
section until such times as the points are clarified by the Provincial Govern
ment.

Alderman Traboulay recommended that the Administration make arrangements
to hire staff tor an Adult Patrol to be available for September 3rd school
opening and pointed out that there would be time required to train personnel
for this job.

Moved by Alderman Ranger:

Seconded by Alderman Thompson:

That the report of Alderman Ranger dated July 22, 1974 in connection

with Adult Safety Patrols on arterial highways be adopted.
Carried.

Alderman Traboulay voted against the resolution.
REPORTS:
From the Building and Protection Committee, July 11, 1974, concerning

Bld.&Protec.
Com. re ambulance service and pointing out that the Committee had reviewed reports

Ambulance

Service from the Fire Chief dated July 10, 1974 and the City Administrator dated
July 2, 1974 outlining some of the details with respect to the operation of
ambulance service by the Provincial Government. The Committee recommended
that the reports be accepted and that the Provincial Government be notified
that we are not satisfied with their proposal for this area:
1. We feel that our present emergency vehicles continuing as ambulances and

a necessary service to the community will quite possibly cause a conflict

between the new Provincial ambulance limited service and our present Fire

Department Employees.
