November 15th, 1976

From the City Administrator, November 12th, 1976, advising of
requests received from the New View Society and the Coquitlam Volunteer
Bureau to rent the old Library building at a reduced rate for their own
use, and stating that the Council originally agreed to rent this space
at prevailing rates to help offset the cost of renting the new Library
facilities-~- a decision recently confirmed by the Building & Protection
Committee when discussing the New View application.

Moved by Alderman Ranger:

Seconded by Aldarman Laking:

That rental of the old Library premises at 2253 Leigh Square at
prevailing rates, previously agreed to by Council and recently confirmed
by the Building & Protection Committee, be re-confirmed. Carried.

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, Mrs. Sharon DiSanto,
Director of the New View Society, was in attendance and on invitation of
His Worship the Mayor, spoke in support of the application from that
organization to rent the old Library space for the sum of $100.00 per
month. Mrs. DiSanto advised that the Society presently assists 65
mentally and physically handicapped persons through training in crafts,
catering work, etc., and pointed out that the old Library space would
provide more convenient accommodation than the City-owned Dalkey Building
the Society now shares with several other organizations. Mrs. DiSanto
also mentioned that the Dalkey Building, which is in a somewhat 'set-
back' location, being situated adjacent to the access road on the West
side of the Shaughnessy Street underpass and South of Kingsway Avenue,
is constantly being vandalized, with supplies and articles for sale
being either stolen or damaged. Members of Council, while sympathizing
with the needs of the Society, felt that the commitment of the Ccuncil
to rent the old Library space at prevailing rates to offset the cost of
the new facilities should be upheld; however, it was generally agreed
that it may be possible to improve the work area, storage capacity and
security at the Dalkey Building.

From the Senior Building Inspector, November 12th, 1976, advising
of two applications received for new duplexes - one at 1938-40 Eastern

Drive (Lot 251) and one at 1401-05 Victoria Drive (Lot 360) ~ and that

these presently vacant properties meet all the Zoning By~law requirements

for such use.
