School Board as to the possibility of constructing a walking bridge over
the Coquitlam River.

Mayor Campbell agreed to a suggestion from Alderman Ranger that he
appoint a Library Building Committee and terms of reference therefore by
next week in order that work towards bringing about a permanent library
building may be ongoing in his absence.

Alderman Traboulay advised he understood the dyking pump at Dominion

Avenue has not been operating for two weeks; however, the City Engineer

‘advised that the pump is functioning very well but was not operating for

three days because of low water.

Alderman Traboulay referred to the rough condition of the road
surface on Prairie Avenue Eastward to Cedar Drive, caused by cuts made
to install services, and he inquired whether or not the developers could
be requested to repave those areas so damaged; however, the City Engineer
advised that there are still a number of installations to be carried out
on Prairie Avenue, such as a major watermain, a gas line, and storm
sewers, and he stated he felt it would be premature to undertake any
reconstruction or paving until this work has been completed. Alderman
Traboulay suggested that the Finance Committee look into the question of
obtaining funds from developers and others for resurfacing roads where
cuts, etc., have been made to install services, and Mayor Campbell
agreed that this would be done.

Alderman Traboulay expressed concern that people can pay to reserve
tennis courts; however, Alderman Thompson advised that those who paid
for registration in that part of the Recreation Prograume could phone
and reserve time between lessons. Alderman Ranger advised he would
bring a report thereon back to Council next week.

Alderman Traboulay advised that the Coquitlam River Management Study
has been ongoing now for the last few months, with three meetings thereon
being held so far, and that the minutes of the meeting attended by
Alderman Laking in Victoria on March lst would be made available to
members of Council. Aiderman Traboulay further advised that a progress
report has been received and that he would be attending the next meeting

which will be held on June llth, 1976 in Coquitlam.

Alderman Traboulay then referred to a report from Mayor J.M. Campbell,

April 28th, 1976 with respect to his trip to Victoria on April 27th,
1976, with the City Engineer, and he spoke briefly to the meetings held

at that time with: The Honourable Grace McCarthy on libraries; The
