January 13th, 1975

That the City of Port Coquitlam undertake installation of one

additional pump at the proposed Prairie Avenue puinphouse. Defeated.
Alderman Keryluk voted in favour of the resolution.

At approximately 7:40 p.m. Alderman Thompson left the Council
Chamber and did not return.

Prior to defeat of the foregoing proposed resolution, a discussicn
ensued and Alderman Laking pointed out that further information should
be obtained on the question of additional ditching and land acquisition
before taking any action, and Alderman Traboulay agreed with the comments
made by Alderman Laking. Alderman Ranger commented that while there are
two pumps for the Dominion Avenue area, there is only one running at any
given time, and althoug! during June the water cannot tun off through
the DeBoville slough, it is adequate for the rest of the year.

Moved by Alderman Laking:

Seconded by Alderman Traboulay:

That the appropriate City staff investigate the reason that only

one pump is proposed to be installed at the Prairie Averue pumphouse and

submit a report and recommendation to Council therec... Carried.

Alderman Keryluk referred to item 2(a) of his report concerning
Hyde Creek, and advised that in speaking to Mr. Bonham, he agreed this
area presents a bit of a problem and that he would be looking into the
situation further; therefore, he wished to leave 2(a) in abeyance until
further information is received from Mr. Bonham. Alderman Keryluk then
referred to item 2(b) wherein he recommended that a G.V.R.D. study of
the run-off from the South slope of Burke Mountain be undertaken and
stated he would be prepared to defer consideration thereof until a
meeting is held with Tne Honourable Lorne Nicolson, Minister of Housing,
provided that Alderman Laking would do likewise with respect to his
Notice of Motion stating similar intent that is listed on the agenda for
later consideration, and to this Alderman Laking agreed. Alderman
Keryluk then referred to item 3. of his report, and stated he understood
that there would be no purpose in negotiating with the Frovince to share
in drainage maintenance costs, since this may jeopardize the priority
now established for the City's dyking and drainage program.

The 1975 Provisional Budget, having been been submitted at the
Statutory Inaugural Council meeting held on January 6th, 1975, was again

presented for consideration.
