Push smoking bylaw, Hull says.

Terrace alderman Dave Hull
complained in June that there
seemed to be little awareness of
the city’s No Smoking Bylaw,
and at his own place of employ-
ment no information on require-
ments or enforcement had been
received.

City adminstration ‘has re-
sponded to Hull’s comments,
and it is now up to city council’s
Finance, Personnel and Ad-
ministration - Committee to

- recommend whether or not the
city should do more to publicize
the bylaw.

Deputy ‘clerk-administrator
Denise Fisher has advised coun-
cil that a synopsis of the bylaw
was advertised in local news-
papers on Feb. 3, 1988, and on
Sept. 7, 1988. The advertisement
advised that the bylaw would be
in effect as of Oct. 1, 1988.

Fisher adds that the bylaw

received considerable media
coverage and everyone should be
aware of its content.

She adds that any discussion
since that time on whether to
purchase ‘‘No Smoking” signs
for sale to the public has been
dropped because it was felt that
there would probably not be
enough demand to warrant the
cost,

Fisher has ‘investigated the
cost since Hull’s comments,
however, and has advised coun-..
cil that six inch square signs can
be purchased at a cost of be-
tween $1,06.and $2.14, depend-
ing on the quantity of signs and
number of colors. As far as
informing local businesses of the
content of the bylaw, though,

Fisher says the cost of mailing
every. business a copy of the
complete bylaw would be. pro-
hibitive.. She suggests that if
council does want to publicize.
its content further, however, it
would cost approximately $100 .
to readvertise it, or a single sheet
synopsis of the bylaw could be -
mailed out,

_ Hangar considered |

TERRACE — The city’s Eco-
nomic Development Officer,
Peter Monteith, is investigating
the possibility of working outan
agreement in which a major oil
company and corporate users
would cost-share the construc-
tion of a hangar at the Terrace
Airport.

The idea came from the city’s
Tourism and Economic Adviso-
ry Commission. At a recent
meeting of the volunteer group,
Terrace alderman Bob Cooper
described an arrangement
through which Shell Oil and
some mining companies con-
structed a hangar at the Edmon-

ton Municipal Airport. Cooper
also noted a similar project in
northern Ontario, that received
government assistance as well.
These two examples set a prece-
