time as revised cost estimates are available.
Carried,

At this time, Alderman Keryluk expressed his wish to be removed as
the representative to the Fraser Valley Regional Library Board of
Directors, and the Mayor stated that he would take this under advisement.

Alderman Thompson referred to a Greater Vancouver Regional District
Bulletin in which it was stated that the G.V.R.D. Housing Department
would effer assistance to Developers at any Public Hear: .3s regarding

housing and requested clarification of this statement. Alderman Laking

advised that following lengthy discussions at the G.V.R.D. meeting it

was determined that before they can take any action, on. behalf of. a
Developer, they must first contact the municipality to determine the
facts involved.

Alderman Thompson raised the question of the problems surrounding
the recent Recreation Programme Registrations and Alderman Ranger advised
that both the Leisure Activities Committee and the Recreation Department
are aware of the many problems and have been investigating alternate
methods of registration procedures and in the Fall will be trying the
Burnaby method of 'mail-in' registrations.

Alderman Laking enquired as to the status of the proposed new Garbage
Bylaw and was advised by the City Engineer that it was awaiting the
return of the Public Works Committee Chairman.

Alderman Laking suggested a meeting be held with representatives
from the local Hunting and Fishing Club and the Federal Fisheries Department
with respect to finding a suitable time to arrange for removal of gravel
from the Coquitlam River as a real problem is developing with the formation
of new sand bars and bank errosion. Alderman Traboulay advised that the
Environmental Protection Committee would take the suggestion under
advisement as it had been scheduled to be discussed by the Committee
this year.

Alderman Ranger noted with reference to the previous comments
regarding probiems during registration that this was the first time that
a full winter programme had been offered at Hyde Creek Centre and that
therefore it was the 'first time’ for many of the staff for such procedures.
Alderman Thompson assured him that he had heard no complaints regarding
the staff but rather about the general registration procedures themselves.

Alderman Ranger advised that he will be participating in the Kinsmen's

“Kinsmen's Schmockey
