SUBJECT: Regional District Committee Appointments

Last week Council received a letter from the City of Port Moody request-
ing that we endorse a resolution:
“That a letter be sent to the G.V.R.D. protesting the continued

narrowness in Conmittee appointments, the lack of involvement of

other Council members of member municipalities and the appoint-

ment of the same people to several committees irrespective of

Be Fe est en tte St

the importance of the areas they represent."

Attached you will find a list of the Committee appointments as made by
the G.V.R.D. for 1973.
Directors of the Board are appointed by the Municipal Councils represented

as are the appointe2s to the Parks Committee and the Joint Water and Sewer Committee.

I represent our City as a Director ef the Board and as our Yepresentative
to the Parks Committee, while Alderman G.R. Laking serves on the Water and Sewer
Committee.

This year I was appointed by the G.V.R.D. to serve as a member both on
the Housing Committee and tha Political Planning Committee making a total of

four sroups that I represent for Port Coquitlam.

I do not support the contention of Port Moody that there is narrowness
in Committee appointments. I would point out that each component municipality of
the Board haa equal opportunity to make three differen* appointments to the Board
if they so wish, namely, as Director, Water and Sewer Committee and Parks Conmittee. _
Other appointments made by the Executive are chaneed each vear as the
attached list shows and according to Board Chairnan Mayor R. Prittie, careful
attention is given to the Reography of the District so that each “area” is
represented,
