Ald. Ranger-re-

December 6th, 1976.

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, Alderman Thompson stated
that although he was opposed to the principle of using Collective Agreements
of other municipalities as a basis on which to bargain, he would support the
motion for the sake of maintaining harmony between the City and the Union.
Alderman Mabbett stated he was opposed to an employee having the option of
being able to go back to his former position if he finds he is unable to
perform the duties of a new position, as an employee may be 'bumped' out
of work; however, the City Administrator pointed out that the number of
positions would be unchanged as the one left by the employee would still
have to be filled.

To a request from Alderman Ranger, Mayor Campbell then agreed that

Alderman Ranger referred to his comments last week on the confusion
existing as to whether a street in the City shouid be known as "Larkspur
Drive" or "Larkspur Avenue", and in view of the fact that “Larkspur Drive"
is used by the Post Office and for Electoral List purposes, he proposed
the following motion:

Moved by Alderman Ranger:

Seconded by Alderman Thompson:

That the City street known as "Larkspur Drive" and "Larkspur Avenue"
be identified henceforth only as "Larkspur Drive". Carried.
Alderman Ranger referred to the requirement that "lawn signs" used by
candidates must be removed on the day following an election, and he then
displayed one he had picked up as late as 7:25 this evening that was
apparently overlooked after the November 20th, 1976 Election; however, he
very solicitously refrained from publicly stating the name of the candidate
involved. Aiderman Thompson advised that his supporters, knowing that this
term will be his last in public office, wished to retain the signs as prized
momentos, and the person from whose property Alderman Ranger had plucked
the sign would probably be very angry when he discovers it has been taken.

Alderman Ranger referred to the apparent change in procedure by
Central Mortgage & Housing Corporation in billing homeowners for yearly
increased costs in December rather than in April of the following year
as had been the previous practice, and Mayor Campbell advised he would

write to Mr. William Teron, the Federal Deputy Minister, in that regard.

Alderman Laking referred to the proposed increase in the basic mill

rate for school taxes from 32.5 to 37.5, and he proposed the following
