Alderman Ranger/PoCo Valley Golf Course December 22nd, 1977.

SUGGESTED OPTIONS FOR SOLUTION

The Council could:

1. Act on this opportunity to up-grade the zoning and identify the land-use in this
tegion in a mannex that would greatly enhance the per acreage dollar value of
both the Municipal and privately owned portions of the land. Such a procedure,
if initiated at this time, would escalate the land value to a point that would
more than satisfy the indebtedness of the present enterprise tothe Bank of Montreal
and thereby offer a ultimate solution in the determination of proper land-use and
facilities deployment.

Assume ownership of the entire 18 hole golf course and its existing facilities by
assuming all outstanding liabilities connected with the enterprise and permit the
family to retain ownership and possession of its four generation dairy farm properties.

Management contracts for the operation of an 18 hole golf course and the facility
could be initiated under municipal jurisdiction, or, a9 hole municipal golf course
could be maintained with a balance of the land io be cultivated for other planned
recreational uses under the jurisdiction of the recreation department.

Determine that the operation of a golf course on this property is viewed as an
unnessessary future function and such land-use can be discontinued and the lands
developed for any number of other uses as determined by the wisdom of the City
Council. The building, with its elaborate potential as a major restaurant and
catering complex could be sold or leased to a major restauranteur thus providing a
continuous income to the city treasurys ,

The Port Coquitlam Council may exercise any number of other options, however, the gravity
of the existing situation suggests that some positive, constructive action is required.

We would ask that discussions of the contents of this letterbe placed on the Council agenda
for Monday, January 9, 1978,

Any information you may require prior to that meeting date will be immediately and graciously
provided.

Season's Greetings and Best Wishes for the New Yearo
