City asked to take part wl
in disaster plan course ©

TERRACE — ‘The finance

‘committee has been asked to

look ‘into a health ministry re-
quest the city participate in a
joint, health-related disaster
preparedness seminar.

- Explaining the concept, assis-
tant deputy minister Les Foster
said the one-day session would
involve the RCMP, fire depart-
ment, ambulance service, Mills
Memorial hospital and Provin-
cial Emergency Program per-
sonnel.

“*Active involvement of
elected officials will contribute
significantly to the success of
the program,’’ he added and
suggested staff of long-term
care facilities, retirement homes
and daycare centres might also
want to take part in the ses-
sions.

Foster estimated the cost to
the city of staging the event
would be $4,000-$5,000 but
pointed out it could recover as
much as one-third of that
through registration fees, The
ministry will contribute up te
$2,000.

The city has accepted an offer
of $5,000 for its ald Zamboni
from the district of Terrace. In
recommending acceptance,
recreation director said
Stewart’s was the only bid
received fro two advertising ef-
forts. However, its bid comfor-
tably exceeded the $3,000 trade-
in value offered by a Vancouver
dealer.

Stewart will also pay $500 for
a back-up, rebuilt engine for the
machine.

More lots
possible

TERRACE om If the city can
line up 4 few more tot, blijers, it
should beable to open up'a new
subdivision in the Horseshoe
area this year.

At a Jan. 28 in-camera com-.
mittee meeting, alderman decid-
ed development of Rowland St.
— it's off McConnell Ave. —
will go ahead as soon as the city
has sold enough lots to cover
the cost of putting in services.

Engineering director Stew
Christensen said two of the 14
lots had been bought so far and
it would only take two or three
more sales to offset the
estimated $80,500 project cost.

That money will cover road
construction, installation of
storm sewers, sanitary sewers,
water lines and street lighting as
well as laying underground
power and telephone lines,

Describing all but two of the
remaining lots as above average
in size — most are close to 2,000
sq.m, — Christensen said they
were being reappraised at the
moment. However, the price tag
is expected to be between
$25,000 and $40,000. Once
work commenced, he estimated
it would take six weeks to com-
plete.
