May 17th, 1976

Moved by Alderman Ranger:

Seconded by Alderman Kerviuk:

That the following resolution be submitted to the 1976 Convention

of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities:
WHEREAS the Minister of Municipal Affairs, in 1976, transmitted
certain amounts to various municipalities who suffered a financial loss

with the removal of fines as a source of Municipal revenue;

AND WHEREAS the Honourable Minister, in his letter of transmittal

stated that payment of the Grant cannot be construed as an indication
that there will be a continuance of this assistance;
AND WHEREAS it is desirable that these Grants be continued;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Minister of Municipal Affairs and

the Provincial Government be requested to continue payments to those
municipalities who suffered a financial loss with the removal of fines

as a source of Municipal revenue. Carried.
Aldermen Laking and Traboulay voted against the resolution.

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, a discussion ensued
and Alderman Laking stated he did not thank any municipality should be
budgeting on the basis of revenue from fines, but rather that additional
funds should be provided through an increase in the per capita grant;
however, Alderman Ranger pointed out that while the City has never
budgeted on revenues from fines, he felt an effort should be made to get
all the financial assistance possible from the Provincial Government.
Alderman Keryluk stated he agreed with the comments made by Alderman
Ranger; however, Alderman Traboulay concurred with the view expressed by
Alderman Laking and suggested that the Provincial Government be instead
requested to increase the $34.00 per capita grant to $50.00.

Alderman Keryluk introduced a By-law to authorize the Corporation
of the City of Port Coquitlam to lease certain property from Horner

Moved by Alderman Keryluk:

Seconded by Alderman Ranger:

That By-law No. 1443 be read a first time. ; . Carried.

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, Acting-Mayor Alderman

the library space, and the City Administrator advised this was correct;
