1. Noise Control By~lav

The question of adopting a Noise Control By-law was referred back to the
Committee for consideration after Council received comments from the solicitor

regarding the validity of the By-law.

A copy of the By-law is attached for Council's information.

The Committee recommends, to Council, adoption of the By~law as it will provide
us with a basis for control until such time as the Regional District assume this

function,

2. Moaquito Ground Control Program

There ts a group of students in the area that are prepared to make application
for an Opportunities For Youth Grant for a Mosquito Ground Control Progran,.

A similar group made an application lest year for the same type of program
however their application was turned down, The group feels that if the program
is under the control: of the Simon Fraser Health Unit and is endorsed by the two

Municipal Councils that they heve a chance of receiving approval this year.

The Committee has included the sum of $5,000. in this years budget for ground
control work however the final budget has not yet been approved . If and when
4 grant is approved for such a project it would, of course, relieve the City

of the financial responsibility,
