At the time mayor Jack Talstra said it was council’s intention to take the proposal to referendum during the November, 1990, municipal elec- tion. The two-year-old library expansion proposal, he said, had been put on hold until November, 1991. That date is not far off, but coun- ci) has been mute on the library _ referendum issue. For this reason, ‘the Terrace Review asked city council Monday night for the date of the library referendum. There are two likely dates. A ‘eferendum could be held on Oct. 19 during the provincial clection. Or it could be held on Nov. 17 during the school board byelection. Which date will it be? Neither, said mayor Jack Talstra. No date has been set. He explained that there has been ongoing dia- logue between city and library administration on just how to phrase the referendum question. And besides, they don't have a _ price yet because the city has architect Allan Soutar busy prepar- ing plans for a number of options ranging from the extravagant to the economical. . Also, said Talstra, there is no urgency to setting the date for a referendum. anytime. But wouldn’t it be cheaper to hold during an already scheduled election? Alderman Mo Takhar seems to think so. But Others during a Monday night debate on the pros and cons of ‘ appointing a returning officer, just in case there might be a referen- It can be held ONE DAY SER WE’RE NOT THE BIGGEST BUT WE eNEW & USED RADIATORS eANY CORE AVAILABLE ¢ CLUTCH FANS « HOSES ~ @GAS TANK REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS ¢ HEATER REPAIR & REPLACEMENTS dum, didn’t seém concerned with setting a date that might connect with something else. After only a minute or so of debate, alderman Bob Cooper left his chair for an apparently urgent and secret conference with Danny Sheridan. Their whispered conver- sation continued for about a half- minute, after which Bob Cooper expressed concern for the cost of referendums in general. "It costs us money if we have a referendum," he said. Danny Sheridan then suggested the memo was only. before them for discussion. And all the while, Takhar tried to explain to his peers that it would cost nothing to appoint a returning officer, The cost would come only after a date was actually set and the referendum was held. And it could be minimized if it coincided with another polling activity. Cooper moved early in. the debate that the matter should be sent to Sheridan’s Finance Com- mittee for further consideration. This was later amended by Rick King to an in-camera Committee of the Whole meeting which would fotlow their public meeting. During the library board’s Feb. 21, 1991, annual general meeting, outgoing chairman Willy Schneider said the cost of the planned expan- sion had tisen to about $1.2 mil- lion due to inflation. But Schneider also noted that ihe plans had lain idle while the library aged another three years. School surplus to stay in district — A Ministry of Education official said last week that School District 88 will be allowed to keep the $951,000 operating surplus from its 1990-91 budget. The surplus, a combination of unexpected interest income, grant amounts and other miscellaneous revenue for the district, went on the public record at the Sept. 10 board meeting. At that _ time trustees expressed uncertainty about whether the money would stay in the district or be taken back by Victoria. Gerald Morton, director of the ministry’s communication branch, said Sept. 17 that the money will remain in the district, and the board can carry it forward into the next fiscal year. "It’s part of the overall plan to support districts that are efficient," he remarked. . School District 88 secretary-treasurer Barry Piersdorff said Monday the district has not been officially notified of the ministry’s position on the surplus. Board vice-chairman Wayne Braid said, "It certainly opens lots of possibilities." Braid recalled that there were many items that had to be set aside during the district’s budget deliberations in the spring. "I’m sure we'll revisit those things; the major ones are capital projects, equipment replacement, computers for sure. It's a great opportunity to do something further." #5-YR. WARR.
