The GVYRD Mayors! Committee and the Managers! Committee are

municipalities rather than act as a general consultant.

$50,000 and It is proposed to charge other GYRD Departments
$30,000 for services they use. These changes translate Into
a reduction In cost to the City from approximatelys $14,000

to $12,000.

Poltecy changes mentioned above, were made In response to
corporate dlrection of Mre McKay, GVRD Administrator,
followed by requests from the City of Vancouver for a more
