Council pay rates rise

Aldermen last weck approved a 3.7 per cent hike in their annual indemnitics, backdated to Jan. 1 of this year,

That’s in line with past practice of tying council pay increases to that of the Vancouver Consumer

pay adjustment is made each January: This year council decided to postpone a decision until Au- gust by which time it would have, settled a new contract wilh ils hourly paid and staff employees.

The indemnity increase compares to an average 4.5 per ceut iticréease awarded . to non-union workers and management and 4,6 per cent of this year’s CUPE contract.

The pay increases mean the mayor now receives $18,928.11 per year while aldermen pick up $8,251.14, Both figures include an amount for ex- peuises.

Land swap approved

The city has begun negotiations with Willi Wand! of Principal Construction on a land swap which would sce the company give up a lane right-of-way: lo the west of ils property at the corner of Lazelle.and Sparks in exchange for a new 20ft, lanc to the north of the fot.

The strip of land-at present designated as a lane divides the Lazelle-Sparks property from adjacent land owned and already developed by Wand.

The fand offered in exchange by Principal will councct the existing lane to Sparks Ave, and ease access for both snow ploughs and large delivery trucks.

Road names pondered

Council has two more streets to name and ironi- cally both are in subdivisions being developed by one of their own.

The first is the short road which services mayor Jack Talstra’s small sub-division off Kalum Lake Drive at McConnell. The other is located between Benner and Munroe Sts, an the bench and part of alderman Mo Takher’s project:

Having exhausted the possibilities of past mayors with the exception of current. Skecna MLA Helmut Giesbrecht, council has asked for a list of pioncer family names to assist it in its deci- sion.

development variance pernits, .

In the case of property owned by Elise Wightman, council agreed to relax the minimum lot size requirement for land zoned Heavy Indus- trial from’ 1 acre to 0.58 acres. The variance rec- tifies a situation created in 1974 when the city ap- proved a .subdivision which created the non- conforming lot. The property is located on the city’s southside al the corner of Hampton and Wightunan..:

The planning parade

The planning department has been told to start the process of varying regulations on where an out-building is located in a back yard and the ‘maximum size and height that building can be. Those changes have been requested by Eva Kerby and Gary Webb of 4909 Mills Ave. for their new garage/storage shed.

Similar preparations will also now begin on Joha and Dina MacCormac request the city drop a

a picture frame shop they prapose to construct on their 2814 Cramer St. property.

Meatwhile, council bas referred a rezoning ap- plication from Herb Quast to the planning and public works committee. Quast wants to change the designation on five acres of his North Thomas St. property from Al Rural to R1 single family residential. Quast plans to sell the remaining one third of the land, ,

Travel request referred

The local family court and youth justice com- mittee has asked the city to cover the cost of sending two delegates to the 1992 Conference of B.C. Family Court Committees.

In making the request, chairman Lynda Bretfeld pointed out the Terrace committee has decided to put in a bid to host the 1993 conference. There- fore, altending this year’s: gathering would give the delegates an opportunity to discuss what’s in- volved with this year’s hosts, West Vaucouver.

The city has approved similar requests in the

Absenteeism on the rise

Some city employees may in future be required to provide a medical slip even if they are off work for only a day. ,

That is one of the conclusions reached by the management. staff committee afler reading a report by personne] director Denise Fisher on ab- senteeism in 1991.

The report showed overall employee sick time was slightly up from the year before and a trend towards increasing short-term — one to three days — illnesses. ,

It has therefore been suggested employees log- ging more sick time than the city average be re- quired 10 produce medical slips even for short tex illnesses of up to three days. However, it will left to department heads to ‘exercise their own judgement’’ in deciding who has to produce those slips
