Fire truck for sale

THE CITY is selling off one of the two airport fire tucks il bought from Transport Canada,

The trucks were given to the city for $10 in 1998,

But they’re nat needed now because of the decision not to provide crash/fire rescue service at the airport,

Fire department officials also discovered the trucks were tremendously expensive to maintain and operate.

The sale of one of the tricks — expected to raise $40,000 to $60,000 — will go towards the operating fund for the second truck,

The fire department wants to keep one on hand to help in the event of a dangerous goods spill in Terrace.

“Tt would be handy to have. that volume of fire sup- pressant foam and dry chemical available to us,’’ said fire chief Randy Smith.

Appreciative of Nisga’a TERRACE city council declared last week Nisga’a Ap- preciation Week in the city and invited the Nisga’a Tribal Council to fly a flag at city hall.

The proclamation was one of dozens made by city council every week,

But this one was different — it came at the initiative of council itself, rather than the request of the group in question,

“We felt it was appropriate,’ mayor Jack Talstra said. ‘“They’re our neighbours and they've got a very special occasion happening.’’

He also roted that the Nisga’a contribute greatly to the Terrace economy, and local shops no doubt benefit when 1,600 convention participants come to town,

The Nisga’a also got a 20 per cent discount on the cost of renting the arena for the week,

Talstra said it used to be city policy to encourage conventions to come to town by giving organizers a grant of a dollar a head. That was discontinued during city cost-culling of a few years ago.

New grader

THE CITY is shelling out $230,000 for a new grader. The six-wheel drive John Deere 672 CH motor grader will be dedicated primarily to snow clearing, said director of engineering Stew Christensen.

He said he explored other options such as leasing, but found that the machines were either not guaranteed to be available or else the deal would be too expensive.

“It seems like a lot of money to spend for three months of the year,"* noted councillor David Hull.

City | targets airport parking

THE CITY’s parking ticket enforcement system is being extended to the Terrace- Kitimat Airport.

The handover of the air- pert from the federal government to the newly formed Terrace-Kitimat Air- port Society had left the arca with no authority to penalize people who park too long or in the wrong
