1. John Gore - Works & Utilities Superintendent : /

I have received a letter of resignation from Mr. John Gore our Works & Utilities

Superintendent. John started work with the City in January of 1968 as the Utilities
Inspector and was promoted to Maintenance Supervisor (subsequently changed to Works
and Utilities Superintendent) in May of 1970.

John has been an extremely conscientious and loyal employee and has always had the

best interest of the City at heart.

I have written a letter to John accepting his resignation with regret and conveying
to him the best wishes of the City for the future.

2. Summer Hours

In the past three years we have changed the City Hall office hours to 8:30 to 4:30

for the months of June, July and August. This procedure has not seemed to have

SF BR EA on Site moe ANN

affected the service provided by the Hall in that many contractors and businesses

who contact the Hall daily prefer the early morning opening. As in the past we would

provide special office hours during the last week of tax rush. I note that Port Moody

reenter Be nee

have gone to these hours all year round and the District of Coquitlam go on the same

schedule for the months May through to the end of September.

Our present Union Contract does not make provisions for these hours, however, if Council

‘ agrees I would obtain agreement from the Union.

I would recommend that we revise the office hours for the City Hall for the months

of June, July and August so that office hours are from 8:30 to 4:30 Monday through
Friday.
