MEMORANDUM

MAR

TO: Mayor and Council March 3rd,- 1978

FROM: L.D. Pollock |
City Administrator

1. Justice Building Budget

Attached are some details of the 1978 Provisional Budget for the
Justice Building Operation. Mayor Campbell, Jim Maitland and myself,
as weil as Mayor Tonn and his staff have met with the R.C.M.P. to go
over the Budget and have trimmed it to the present total of $427,683.
This is up approximately 4.1% over the 1977 Budget. Our share of this
cost is approximately one third.

Under our agreement with the District of Coquitlam, Council are
required to approve this Budget annually. The District of Coquitlam have
already passed a resolution adopting this amount.

2. Conferences

The B.C. Recreation Association are holding their annual Conference
in Vernon, April 26th to 30th, 1978. Janna Taylor is the President of the
Recreation Society this year and will therefore be participating fully in
the Conference proceedings. I would recommend that she be authorized to
attend and that her expenses be paid.

Janna has also requested that Mike Reddington be given permission to
attend a two day Pre-conference Seminar in connection with the same Conference.
Normally we have not approved annual attendance at conferences for employees
other than Department Heads, although we have sent employees at the Super-
visory level to conferences or seminars where the course content is of
particular interest. These approvals have only been on a ‘one shot' basis
and not on an annual approval basis. In this case, Mike and Darlene Cross
have attended the Conference from time to time. Last year, Darlene Cross
was authorized to attend and we paid partial expenses with the City covering
the registration fee and per diem expenses for meals, but not travelling or
hotel accommodation. If Council wish to approve Mike's attendance on this
basis, it would be consistent with the handling of this particular conference

in the past.
