/6. September 30th, 1974.

Alderman Mabbett stated he felt the City should submit its share to the
Hospital Society on the formula basis, and the City Clerk pointed out
that the Council had already approved payment of the City's share at its
January 28th, 1974 meeting. Alderman Ranger stated he felt the Hospital
Society was taking a calculated risk when it hired an Administrator, but
that he thought it was worth it even if the City alone has to pay the
total amount of the short-fall. Mayor Campbell stated he did not think
the proposed hospital was a sure thing, and that if the Administrator
left, the Government may say "Lets shelve the Coquitlam Hospital".
Alderman Laking pointed out that the larger, adjacent municipalities
would benefit the most by having the hospital, and yet they have refused
to contribute to the Society's budget short-fall. Alderman Thompson
stated the City could stand on point of principle, that is, pay its
share and be clear of it, and the City Administrator advised the City's
share is only $600.00; Alderman Thompson then commented that it would

be wrong to stand on principle and take a chance of losing what we

have. Alderman Traboulay stated he wished to withdraw his motion and to

this Alderman Thompson, the seconder, agreed.

Moved by Alderman Traboulay:

Seconded by Alderman Mabbett:

That the total amount of the Coquitlam & District Hospital Society's
1974 operating budget short-fall, being $3,000.00, be paid by the City
of Port Coquitlam, and that His Worship the Mayor approach the other
component areas involved and request them to contribute their share on

the Simon Fraser Health Unit cost-sharing basis. Carried.
*Aldermen Keryluk and Laking voted against the resolution.
