TO: Mayor and Council DATE: January 26, 1973

FROM: L.D. Pollock, City Administrator

1. R.C.M.P. Manpower

Inspector Young asked me to obtain confirmation from the Council that we will

accept the addition of three men to the 1973-1974 Police Contract. This was the
number of men that was requested by Council in the discussion with the Officer
Commanding and his submission to Ottawa last year made this request. The

Federal Government now require confirmation from the municipality before adding

the men. The new contract will commence on April Ist however it is not likely that
we will get the men all at once and as you know, we do not get charged for the
additional men until they arrive on the job. During 1972-1973 we were under contract
for 19 2/3 men however during the year there was a transfer of the 2/3 charge to

the District's contract with the arrangement that we would pay them direct for our
2/3 portion, that we were, therefore, officially under contract for 19 men. It is
my understanding that the three men being requested at this time will take our total

number under contract to 22. Our provisional budget this year provided for an

additional three men. It should also be noted that our contract is flexible and Wy

manpower can be added or deleted at any time. ah}

If Council is in agreement a resolution should be passed authorizing the additional

three men to the R.C.M.P. Contract.

2. Recreation Director's Position

Before filling this position, which was left vacant in late 1972 with the resignation
of Clyde Griffith, Council asked for a review of the organizational structure in the
Recreation Department and a report from myself recommending any changes necessary

and recommending a person to fill the position. After reviewing the organizational
structure and the previous position that was established for the Parks and Recreation

Director I would recommend a slight revision in the job description applicable to this
