“council code of ethics

TERRACE — A municipal
Code of Ethics adopted last
week requires council members
to declare both personal con-
flicts of interest and those of.
their colleagues.

In directing the mayor and
aldermen to ‘‘maintain - the
highest ideals of honour and in-
tegrity in public and personal
relationships,” the 11-point
policy lays down guidelines to
achieve that goal.

Those include:
© No use of confidential infor-
mation for personal profit of
‘*themselves or others.”

© No direct or indirect dealing in.

property (except for personal
residence) without advising col-
leagues ‘‘in writing in open
council meeting.”
® Declaration of any direct or
indirect interest in ‘‘any enter-
prise which proposes to transact
business” in the. city.
¢ Declaration of any direct or
indirect interest in any property
which is up for rezoning or sub-
division.
® Report to mayor or council
any conflict of interest ‘‘or
potential conflict of interes”? in-
volving themselves, family ‘tor
any other member of council.”’

Faced with the prospect of
spring rains once again turning
his street into a muddy
thoroughfare ‘“‘impassable to
pedestrians,” a 470) block
Davis Ave. resident wants im-
mediate action from the city:

In a letter to council, Dharam
Parhar said the gravel road out-
side his home was also a pro-

blem during the dry months of |

summer when dust not only
covered ‘everything in
neighbouring homes but also
posed a health :hazard. to
residents. “

Suggesting the road be resur-
faced, Parhar told. council,
‘This is a great problem and re-
quires immediate attention.’
The matter was referred to the
Planning and Public Works
(PPW) committee.

Meanwhile, the residents of
the 4500 block of Straume will
be told the city cannot go ahead
with a planned Local Improve-
ment Project to pave their
street.

In a report to the PPW com-
mittee,
Stew Christensen said the city
needed io obtain a 33ft. ease-
ment from one property owner
before it could proceed, The e¢x-
tra right-of-way is required to
bring ‘that stretch up to the
necessary full width. ;

However, the city had been
unable to reach a “satisfactory
agreement’” with the individual
concerned and therefore would
have to put the project on hold
until it could. ,

B.C. Transit says the 1989
teacher’s strike was the main
factor in last year’s revenue
shortfall of more than 10 per
cent from local buses.

In his a year end review of the
system, B.C, Transit manager
Steve New said ridership of
97,804, was 12,000 less than an-

Kitimat-Stikine regional district

was a reduction in their share of

total costs amounting to

$12,400. Final cost to the city
was slightly less than $48,000

while the district’s share worked

out at $26,150.

soving on the paint, excuses for putting it off a longer exist,

And, for this, we accept the blame, as if were.
Tha savings are on now until April ¥st.
