City turns down break |

TERRACE — Council has
turned: down a request. from

weekend. softball tournament

incorporate that exercise with
the Riverboat Days event.
Although the Kinsmen club had

already made its own ar-
rangements, it had been happy
- to oblige the city, he added.

for a reduced rate on the rental
charge for the city’s new tent.

In a letter to council, Terrace
Inn. slo-pitch team. represen-
tatives Bob Dempster and Rit-
chie Mallett explained there had
been problems last year with the
tarpaulins used to cover in the
beer garden operated in con-
junction with the tournament.

Although the tent offered a
solution to those problems, the
$1,100 rental charge for the
three day event added to other
costs associated with putting on
the tournament ‘‘adds up to a
quite a bit for one organization
to cover solely through the pro-
fits of a beer garden,” they
said.

In asking for a reduction,
Dempster and Mallett pointed
out beer garden profits financed
team participation in out-of-
town events and enabled it to
make a donation to local minor
hockey.

Proposing the request be
denied, alderman David Hull:
described, the fee structure as

“carefully thought out”? and &

said the charges reflected the
labour costs incurred by the city
in erecting and dismantling the
tent as well as recovery of the
cost of purchasing it.

Echoing that view, alderman
Mo Takhar said, ‘We've got a

policy and [ can’t see how we
can makea reduction in the rate
at this point.”

Although council agreed the
ball team would be entitled to a
refund should a future review of
the policy amend the charges,
there was no recommendation
to carry out such a review at this
stage.

While the Terrace Inn team
will be the second group to use
the tent, it will be the first to
have to pay for doing so. Alder-
man Danny Sheridan confirmed
the Kinsmen were not charged

- for using it for the club’s River-

boat Days beer garden.
Explaining the decision,
Sheridan said a manufacturer’s
training session for city staff re-
quired the tent be,erected and |
dismantled anyway, That being
the case; it had been decided to
