MEMO TO: Mayor & Aldermen March Ist, 1977 MAR 7 1977

FROM: R.A. Freeman, City Clerk

At the request of Alderman Traboulay the preliminary report of the
‘Commission of Inquiry on Property Assessment and Taxation, July 30th, 1976, was
recently distributed to Council members.

Alderman Traboulay would like to bring the following recommendation
of the Commission to Council's attention and this recommendation is numbered
R-1 and appears in paragraph 3.54 on Page 101 of the report:

"We believe that the Provincial Government should consider committing
itself publicly to paying 75% of the current and capital costs of the Public
School System as a whole in British Columbia within a period of 5 years.
Equalization grants would continue to be needed so that the share paid by the
Provincial Government would continue to vary substantially from School District
to School’ District."

We believe that Alderman Traboulay intends to move a resolution
endorsing the recommendation set out above and instructing that the Clerk so

notify the Minister of Municipal Affairs.

ALL.)

City Clerk
