Your Worship and Members of Council:

The City Council at its regularly scheduled meeting of Monday,
May 9, 1988 considered a report from the North Shore Ad Hoc
Committee on Group Homes and endorsed twelve subsequent
recommendations. One of the recommendations was that letters be
sent to all British Columbia Municipalities detailing Council's
resolution on recommendations 1 and 2 requesting that other
Municipalities support these two recommendations and so inform

the Ministers of Health, Social Services and Housing, Attorney _
General, and Solicitor General. Recommendations No. 1 and 2 are:

(Ll) THAT the Provincial Government be urged to amend the
Community Care Facility Act, Section 5(a) (iii) and
Section 7 to reduce the number of residents from ten plus
staff to six residents plus staff.

THAT the Minister of Health, Social Services and Housing,
Attorney General, be urged to provide funds to operators

of group homes so that six-bed facilities are financially
viable in all areas of the Province. :

Our Council strongly requests your support for this resolution
as it is of a very timely and urgent matter to the three North

Shore Municipalities. We thank you for your: assistance and

co-operation with us in this endeavour. | Ce

Yours -very truly,

Bruce Hawkshaw,
City Clerk
