March 5th, 1975

From: Mayor Campbell
re G.V.R.D. Meeting - cont'd. Page - 2 -

I voted against the motion. I might point out, for example, that the
Queen's Park Hospital just received $140,000 for planning funds for a
tot:al of $198,200. This recommendation came from the Advisory Board.
An extra $35,000. was voted to the Airport Planning Committee. I voted
against this because Richmond's stand is that they have a very active
Commitiee and therefore the G.V.R.D. need not get involved. Again, I
lost and the $35,000. was voted in.

It has been recommended that we consider leasing 100 acres of land at
the Capilano watershed to the Grouse Mountain Resorts. As an alternative,
they are going to study placing housing in that area.

We turned over land’ that we had a lease on at the Mount Seymour Park

to the Provincial Parks Branch.

‘The G.V.R.D. will be carrying out a study on sanitary sewer trunks,
storm sewer trunks and water trunks for its Burke Mountain development.
Dunhill will pay all the costs. |

The G.V.R.D. accepted a Noise Control By-law which I have handed over
to our Planning Officer for recommendations. It is based primarily

on Burnaby's Noise. By-law.

Aldergrove Lake with all its problems arose again. As it is 2 man-made
lake it is considered a swimming pool and must have guards. If we place
life guards ‘at it then it must be brought up to swimming pool standards
which would cost about $1,000,000.00. I voted against opening it but
che motion carried.

We agreed to go into a study on the Endowment Lands if the Provincial
Government will also take part.

The budget for the water and sewer was passed.
