FOR INCLUSION IN THE MONDAY JUNE 25, 1990 COUNCIL MEETING

21, 1990

City of Port Coquitlam
Environment Committee
2580 Shaughnessy Street
Port Coquitlam, B.C.
V3C 2A8

Attention: Alderman Wright

Dear Six,

Res Health and Animal Control Violations

In my opinion, the members of this Council did not give due
consideration to the concerns of Orphan Wildlife and Wildlife Rescue
Association's concerns regarding a raccoon being held in captivity,

when granting permission to violate Public Health Bylaw 908 and Animal
Control Bylaw 1020,

Further, since my written questions of March 13, 1990, to Council have
not been answered, I assume that reports by both Public Health Officer
Steva Martin and §.P.C.A. Inspector Marian Barnes regarding; a) The
disposal of fecal litter in a large pile on site in violation of B.C.
Health Regulations, and, b) Failure to provide sufficient cage area,
food, water and sanitation to bring these conditions more in line with
the Ministry of the Environment Wildlife Standards as outlined in
Animal Control Bylaw 32-b, were also not made available to the
Honourable Members when they made their decision. No authority
responsible for animal care will condone the conditions that this
animal exists in. Requests made by myself, Wildlife Rescue and the
5.P.C.A. have not been heeded. I also protest comments made in.public
by Chief Bylaw Officer Ron Creegy concerning a matter that was still
before committee.

I admonish this Council for allowing violations that create a nuisance
and for delaying cerrective action by way of ill informed judgement.
