MEMORANDUM OCT 22 1984
TO: B. Kirk, ; October 17, 1984
City Administrator
FROM: F.E. Peters., P. Eng.,

City Engineer

SUBJECT: Variety Club Paper Bin -
Works and Services Committee, October 16th, 1984,

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Variety Club be atlowed to use the Mapie Drive
parking. lot for their paper bin but that it be sited at the southeast
corner away from the river and that this permission be subject to the
Variety Club providing direct supervision and cleanup of the site on a

regular basis.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

Our previous recommendation for the use of this site was
referred back to the Committee for further study and meetings with the
Variety Club. There obviously was a misunderstanding previously about
the effectiveness of this site for the Variety Club. Mr. Aceman
indicates that it Is a good site and does make money for the Variety
Club. A copy of a letter which is attached indicates that they would
be pleased to have this site back. The Committee was not able to come
up with any alternate sites on City property which would be as

suitable as this site. There may well be sites on private property
which the Variety Club could arrange on thelr own. The advantages of
this site are exposure to the public, visibility from a main road,

plenty of parking, and being in an area where it does not create
litter problems for residential’ homes.

The Committee would like the bin to be located at the corner
of the parking tot away from the river so that there Is less
temptation for paper to be thrown into the river.
