Council gives sewer nod

TERRACE — City councillors approved construction of a sewer on Twedle Ave. despite an evenly split vote on the issuc by resi- denis.

Half the 12 homeowners voted in favour of the iocal improve- ment project, and the other haif voted against.

Those voting. in favour, how- :

ever, represented 57-per cent of the assessed land value on. the street.

City council unanimously ap- proved the project wilh council- lars Bob Cooper, Darryl Laurent

and Danny Sheridan voling in |

favour. Councillors Ruth Hallock and Rick King were absent... But the decision didn’t come without considerable debate. Councillors first scrutinized the wording of the Municipal Act to

determine if the project could go .

ahead.

The act states that a project can proceed unless it’s opposed by a majority of property owners representing ‘‘at least half of the value of the parcels which are li- able to be specially charged.”

Although 50 per, cent of the property owners opposed the pro-

ject, they didn’t hold-at least half . -

the property value on the street, councillors decided. “Its close —- that’s all I know,’’ said mayor Jack Talstra. The sewer is the first half of a

line necessary to connect the 12- lot second phase of councillor Mo

. Takhar’s Temple St. housing de-

velopment to the city sewer sys- fem.

Takhar has proposed he and the city split the cost of the remaining

“330 feet of sewer line out to the ‘ development because ihe cily

owns Jots in -ihe area that may eventually be put on the market. Takhar — who did not vote on the project — has offered to pay 25 per. cent of the cost of the

- $50,000 project,

Homeowners will pay between $1,500 to $6,000, depending on the width of their lots,

Homeowner Vince Heslenfeld, who opposed the project, said most of those who voted in favour thought ‘‘we’d. get stuck

with it sometime, so we might as.

well grab it while there’s some kind of subsidy attached.” ‘‘Personally I see it as buying some of the votes in the neigh- bourhood,’’ he added. “‘There’s been some hard lab-

. bying in the neighbourhood from

the developer.”

Heslenfeld told council most of the houses are either set too far back to make use of the sewer or élse already have new seplic tanks.

“T’s not Twedle Avenue thal’s going to benefit,” he said. “Il's

the development that needs this in order to sell lots. We don’t need the damm thing.’’

Herb Dusdal, who spoke on be- half of the developer, argued the project wiil benefit the residents.

‘There - will be no other changes — no pavement —

without. sewer: goitig in first,’”

Dusdal said, -. .,. City officisise hope the new

Grant given

TERRACE — The federal government has granted the Uni- versity of Northem B.C.

$200,000 to help develop 8 CO-OP

education program.

UNEC’s co-op program is: to initially develop a work-study program in the faculty of natural

Tesources and environmental studies. -: It is expected to expand to assist

" students’ in each of the univer- « sity’s three other undergraduate . Faculties (aris and sciences, health .

and human sciences, and manage-

“> ment and administration).

Students often alternate lerms

of study with terms of working |

with employers in their area of study.

“The response from northern employers has already been over- whelming,’” says UNBC co-op education director Nick Petrys- zak, ““‘UNBC’s goal has always

‘been to educate students from

norithem B.C., in northern B.C., so they'll stay in northern B.C.” “The availability of good

. employment’ will’ be critical’ to “that equation.""~
