= provinctal government. Atleast until Sept’ 31, 1984:

‘John Colville of the ministry. of smalt business. and
industry. has clorified his government's position with
regional planning funds to the Daily Herald. :

At.*the:last meeting af the economic development

, commission of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine a

letter was introduced that seem to imply a cut. in the
commission's funds by the provincial government. *

: “However, Colville says these planning bodies wete |
originally funded for three years, At the end of that period
the funding was extended for an.additional two years, : Not
all economic development commissions began at the same

.. time, The one RDKS started: about. midway. through ‘the

time. ‘period when similar bodies’ were being formed all

‘ acrosg.the province.

The end of the RDKS’s commission five. year funding. is.
‘Sept: 31, 1984. After that date, the province will stop Ite cash |

-contribution entirely. ~~
Currently the commission is funded 50-50 by the provirice

and RDKS tax levies. Normally each contributes $80,000 for
"a total economic development budget of $120,000- per. year, .

After Sept. 1984; the RDKS will be on its” own. With. a
budget of only $60,000, Maybe. °

Kitimat has ‘alréady given formal notice it wishes. to
withdraw from the economic development commission and
can do so at the beginning of 1984, Currently Kitimat pays
about 55 per cent of the RDKS contribution. The Kitimat
pull-out’ seems to be’ over ‘an argument the previous

". directors had with an assistant economic development
commissioner from ‘Kitimat who was viewed. by some .

RDKS members as taking trips without prior-authorizatlon

and-who seme. thought was apending tao much maniey on

those trips.

Currently, the RDKS. is sending a three. person committse —
to Kitimat council-to ask it'to stay ‘in ‘the: economic”
development commission... -

‘ Several Terracé aldermen also appear wo. be ‘hegesting
Terrace withdraw from the commission as well. . Terrace
contributes only 16 per cent of the RDKS share.-. If, the

: Terrace withdrawal became council's policy, the earllest it
could become effective would be the beginning of 1985,
“With .the removal of money from. the providelai
; government, Kitimat and Terrace from the development
commission, ita budget would drop from this ‘year 5 $120, 000
to a mete. $7,400,”
