TERRACE — City coundil has included an undetermined ‘amount in the first draft‘of: the . 1985 budget: priority . list . for wages for a’ Park Director at .§ : Heritage Park. They have also [im asked the Superintendent . of * § Parks and Recreation to. in- vestigate. the possibility of pro- vincial cost-sharing grants and the possibility of cost sharing . ‘ with the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. - The suggestion for a paid Park Director comes from Ter- _Tace. Regional Museuin Society ‘president Mamie Kerby, . who’ says.the' position is long overdue :- but adds, contrary to one re- - port, if the city decides not to fund the position it won’t. mean the closure of Heritage Park. She says that what it would ‘mean, however, is that the park © ‘would continue to run with the Same volunteers it has for. the past five years but they would be - unable to open seven days a week for six months of the year as council and the Chamber of Commerce would like. “To. continue our operation of Heritage Park in its present role, we require more communi-' ty support,” says Kerby, ‘‘It’s gotten to the point where I don’t have any backup.” Kerby says that use of the park has been increasing every year and it’s time they got-away from using volunteer help and into something more stable — like a paid director. She explains that what is needed is a full time director for six months of the year and a part time director for the balance of the year. **This would allow us to cater to the tourist season in the summer months, and in the off- season our main target would be the schools,’ she explains, add- ing that this is the only way they will ever get provincial funding. The province only funds mu- seums that are open year round according to Kerby. She adds that other services required at the park are a food outlet and improved washroom facilities, Kerby says she is con- fident the city will “work some- thing out’’, “I have a lot of faith in them,’’ she says. ‘‘They have been very helpful in the past... They help us in every way they can. ‘ tt was hardly a major challenge, but the Terrace Fire Department took it ‘ayacant lot In the 4500 block Greig Ave. _and a few of Terrace’ 8 finest.

Council hopes that through the investigation, it can be deter- mined what, if any, guidelines are being used in other commu- nities and if they relate to coun- cil and city employees, The most recent situation which caused council to ques- tion just what a conflict of interest might be, arose during their discussion of the Okana- gan Skeena shopping center pro- posal. Alderman Ruth Hallock, Chairman of the Planning and Public Works Committee, asked council to refer all matters per- taining to Okanagan Skeena to the Committee of the Whole rather than the Public Works Committee because she is a CFTK employee and has a few shares in the company. She said at the time that she wasn't sure, but this could be considered a conflict of interest. Okanagan, Skeena is the parent company of CFTK.
