December 8th, 1975

Seconded by Alderman Keryluk:

That the "City of Port Coquitlam Curfew By-law, 1975, No. 1382"

continue in force for a further six months. Carried.
Alderman Thompson voted against the resolution.

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, a discussion ensued,
and Alderman Ranger pointed out that the By-law has not created a hardship
or transgressed anyone's civil rights after being in force for six
months, and that he thought a standard had been set in the City as to
the time certain age groups should be in their homes. Alderman Mabbett
inquired whether juvenile crime in Port Coquitlam justifies a Curfew and
Inspector Young stated he would have to say "yes" because through cur
permissive society youth have become rather "freewheeling" and parents
have gone along with this to a great extent.

At the conclusion of the discussion, Mayor Campbell thanked Inspector
Young for his presentation this evening, and the latter then left the
meeting.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

From the City Clerk, December 3rd, 1975, advising of a Notice of
Motion made by Alderman Laking at the previous meeting that he intended
to submit this evening concerning the request of the Department of
Housing to approve the minimum frontage exemption reauired for a propose.

subdivision of Lots 50 & 51 on Chester Street (purchased by the Department

of Highways for a highway widening project) that was denied as a resuit

of his negative vote thereon; and of his request that a representative
from the Department of Highways be in attendance at this time. The City
Engineer advised that because of the time involved in contacting the
Department of Housing it was not possible to arrange for the attendance
of representatives this evening: however, they are willing to come if
Council so wishes to explain their intention which basically is to rent
the house when the work is completed; further, he stated he had been
advised by the Department of Highways that they would be prepared to
attend, but very reluctantly, as they are still involved in negotiations
with property owners in that area. Alderman Laking stated the property
that concerned him was that immediately North as the house located
thereon will be only about 3' from the edge of the highway. Alderman
Thompson inyuired what the Department has done that he could not do if
he owned the property, and the City Engineer advised that to the best of
his knowledge, nothing has been done in contravention of any City By-

law.
