They indicated that when the building was last expanded the membership was down and, at the present time, is over five hundred members, and growing. it still It was indicated by Jock Munro that a Kitchen Expansion Pund had been started up and a cost sharing would be considered but the Committee would need to know what the City would consider a.cost sharing. Ee added, that if the City had bigger plans for the future, would not be practical to go ahead with this small expansion now. it it Alderman Keryluk mentioned that would be appropriate to ask Janna for a report on what the Senior's Centre was like initially, the kind of expansion made, .the cost and the membership at the time. This report could then be presented at the next meeting. He added that this report and any input from the Expansion Committee would be discussed in Committee and a .presentation made to Counc4.1 to I release some funds. Jack Blowers indicated that the members were well aware that 1984 will not be a big spending year but the members would certainly look for some improvements in 1985. Continued. Alderman Keryluk asked the Expansion Committee if they had any further comments and Jock Munro said that he felt that the meeting had attained its objective and they were happy that they had the opportunity to put forward their views and requests. He hoped that this information could be mulled over and taken to another meeting. Alderman Keryluk summarized by stating that Janna would be asked to do some research and come up with some facts and statistics. Vlhen this background information is made available then it would be placed back on the Parks s Recreation Committee. He added that the Expansion Committee would be notified and both committees would sit down and study the information to see whether there should be any standards with regard to how many square feet per capita. Jack Blowers said he felt that a target date should be looked at, maybe 1985 or 1986. Alderman Keryluk asked the Expansion Committee if they could set up the annual statistics for the last five to ten years in the form of a graph and it should also be looked into as to whether other space is required, such as storage space, and not just a kitchen expansion. He also requested that the membership should be approached to see what we should be looking at assuming that we are coing to improve the facility, and that this information should be documented and sent to Janna. Alderman Keryluk brought the meeting to a close by thanking the Expansion Committee for taking the time to meet with the Parks S Recreation Committee. He added that the senior citizens of Port Coquitlam are highly respected by all members of City Council and that Council welcomes the opportunity to work together.

The expansion into the library is the concept we conceive to be the most 2) — — Cont'd JA THE CORPORATMN OF TllE CAY Of PORT COOlllllAN appropriate. The library books could be moved into the main area of the building with consideration to portable walls or another room to be used for given a private area. We would also like to mention that since the discussions of the kitchen expansion started, a number of concerns and guestions have been raised regarding future plans for Wilson Centre. Because the nature of these deal with the physical make-up of the Centre, we concerns would like to discuss them at our meeting.
