THE CORPORATION OF THE |
CITY. OF PORT COQUITLAM NEC 16 1991

B.R. Kirk DATE: December 6, 1991
City Administrator

FROM: C.F. (Kip) Gaudry, P. Eng.
Deputy City Engineer

SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR GRANT - ART KNAPP'S
TREE CHIPPING PROGRAM
Provection Committee Mecting - Dec. 4, 1991)

Art Knapp Plantland and Florist wrote to the City on December 2, 1991 requesting a $400
contribution towards their Christmas tree chipping program. The matter was considered by the
Environmental Protection Committee on December 4, 1991 and based on Council’s ’no grant’
policy it is recommended that the request be denied.

However, the Environmentel Protection Committee members did feel that the City should be
doing whatever it can to support these types of efforts in practical ways. For example, we may
be able to encourage the local newspapers to sponsor special space in their public service
announcement sections that would include information such as Christmas tree chipping
programs and other information on recycling and garbage removal.

Approxiznately one year ago, E.P.S. Recycling Inc. of Aldergrove, B.C. offered a chipper free to
the City for two or three days use to chip Christmas trees, City staff have provided this
information to Art Knapps in the event they might tie together with E.P.S. and reduce the cost of

chipper rental.
