s J, i 5 ‘ Page A10 — Terrace Standard, Wednesday, January 22, 1992 Mayor adjusts council Condemned A PUBLIC NUISANCE hearing will be held at city hail Jan. 27 on this old house in the 4500 block of Olson Ave. City ad- ministrator Bob Hallsor says the inside of the unoccupied building represents a “life-threatening situation” and one end of it is beginning to sink. If declared a nuisance, the owner will be required to demolish it. Last week the fire-damaged Ter- race Public Market, another building the city was proposing ‘to declare a nulsance on safety grounds, was torn down.” Council Shorts Two committees are eliminated TERRACE — Mayor Jack Talstra has taken an axe to the council committee list and as a result the tourism-cconomic development and forestry- housing-senior citizens commit- tees are no more. Talstra said neither had met very often over the past year and related issues are just as easily dealt with by council when it meets as a committee of the whole, For those remaining com- mitees, Danny Sheridan gets a third term as head of the finance committee to be joined this time by Mo Takhar and Rick King, who replace Bob Cooper and Ruth Hallock. - Takhar. and King. chair the Ticket sweep could grow TERRACE —The long arm of by-law enforcement officers will soon extend to private narkine lots if a proposed amendment to city regulations goes through. The change targets able- bodied motorists who park in spots reserved forthe disabled and follows complaints from the seniors’ advisory commis- sion, In a memo to council, permits director Bob Lafleur said the ci- © ty can ticket offenders provided it made the appropriate amend- ment to its traffic by-law and had permission from the pro- perly owner todo so. Under the proposed amend- ment, enforcement officers will have the option of either ticketing the offending: vehicle or having it towed away. The matter has been referred to this week’s meeting of the planning and public works com- mittee which is expected to en- dorse Lafleur’s recommenda- tion. That committee will also con- sider a proposal that will allow designatedvehicle owners — either seniors or the disabled — to park for double the posted time limit on downtown streets. The city would. issue small signs to qualified drivers which they would display in their vehicles to lett enforcment of- ficers know they were entitled to remain there for the longer period, kkerkkk Council has agreed to spend $72,750 out of its vehicle replacement fund to purchase six new vehicles. McEwan Motors, the low bidder, will supply twa Cavaliers, a Chevrolet van, a Sierra pick-up and two S-15 Blazers. All are 1992 models. Also approved was the pur- chase of a manhole rescue tripod for the public works department. In making the re- quest, Operations director John Colongard explained it was needed to ensure the city com- plied with Workers’ Compensa- tion Board regulations. Estimated cost of the tripod is $2,100. kk tke Aldermen have. accepted a commitlee recommendation to make the west side of Emerson between Grieg and Lakelse a loading zone. That decision came in response to a request from Shopper’s Drug Mart manager Dominic Kelly who said the recently created no parking zone there was creating pro- blems for the store. Kelly said deliveries to the store had long. been made via the Emerson St. door but drivers were now being ticketed for doing so. The alternative, delivering through the front door, was causing traffic pro- blems in the. mall parking lot which had prompted the mali management to ask Shoppers to cease the practice. He also pointed out deliveries did not take long to make, usually 5-10 minutes.and rarely more than 20 minutes. However, city engineer Stew Christensen warned a loading zone at that. point could. cause problems. He suggested the — relocation of Ottawa St. — to come into effect this spring — would lead to increased traffic on that stretch of Emerson. If that happened, it might be necessary to impose a right- turn-only restriction from ‘Emerson onto Greig and a loading zene could interfere with traffic flows. kk kkk Kids take note — Santa Claus will be back in town Saturday, Dec, 5. Aldermen have approv- ed a request from Skeena Mall manager Lynda Bretfeld the se- cond annual Christmas Parade be held on that date. Council also agreed to pro- claim February Heart .and Stroke Month and gave the Kidney Foundation the go- ore ahead to hold a door-to-door. donation canvas here during March. kkk kkk Shell Canada Products has been awarded the contract to supply the city’s fuel needs for 1992 but over the objections of one alderman. , Although Shell came in as low bid at $80,068.10, alderman Rick King said price should not be the only consideration. Poin- ting out Petro Canada’s bid was only about $100 more and the company was wholly Canadian, he suggested council should “‘support our own’’. King’s vote, however, was the lone opposition to the Shell award. other remaining committees, making their presence on the finance body logical because of overlapping issues, Talstra add- ed. ; Takhar takes over the plann- ing and public works chair from Hallock while Sheridan and Cooper stay on as members. King repeats as chair of com- munity and recreation services with Darryl Laurent and Ruth Hallock as members. All appointments are for one year and Talstra, as mayor, is an ex-officio member of all committees.
