Page A8 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 8, 1993 { co Council shorts ~ Rezone gets the nod COUNCIL HAS agreed to rezone property on Molitor St. from light industrial to ‘medium density residential (80 persons per acre). ° In making the request, owner Arthur Laplanie pointed out the change would give the lot the same ‘designation aS the adjoining residential lot which he also owns: — Located adjacent te the Co-op Home Contre, ihe 0.4 acre property is at present vacant. Laplante indicated he had no plans to develop it immediately. . Because the parcel is ‘zoned residential in the Official Community |" Pian, no public hearing is necessary, for the change. Vehicle plan changed THE FIRE DEPARTMENT Is now looking at a mini-van rather’ than a 4-door midsize car to replace the ailing 1977 crew cab pick- up mechanics estimate wilt cost up to $900 to repair. Council accepted a public works committee suggestion the city cat] for quotes on @ mini-van or similar vehicle with the results being brought back to that committee for a final recommendation. The money to purchase the new vehicle | would come the city’s vehicle replacement account, . Equipment goes on block THE CITY is going to have its version of a garage sale in the near future, selling off what are described as ‘‘surplus assets’”. Among the items on offer through a sale-by-tender will be a lawn mower, dump box, welder and miscellancous smail equipment. Director of Operations John Colongard had suggested the city might do better by selling thesc items now rather than waiting for its annual spring sale. ; Election officers named ELAINE JOHNSON. will once again be the chief election officer at this year’s municipal elections. Council agreed last week to the appointment and that of Colleen Davis as Johnson’s deputy. The elections are slated for Saturday, Nov. 17. One difference this time will be Johnson will not have to worry about having to cast the deciding ballot in the event of a tie for the final spot on council. She had to do that three years ago but new regulations adopted since then mean lots will be drawn if a tie-breaker is needed. Computer sleuthing okayed CITY TREASURER Keith Norman has received the go-ahead to attend a Bellamy Software users meeting in Edmonton at the end of next month, In making the request, Norman explained Bellamy specialized i in ‘ municipal software only and had given city staff a demonstration Aug, 16-17, Describing the software as ‘‘far more sophisticated and more detailed’? than that-offered.by current supplier Concord, Norman suggested a meeting of Bellamy: USETS would be the. best place to . find out just how good the software was.

And. council has decided it’s time to start enforcing the regula- tion. _ But that probably won't happen for a couple of months yet and residents will receive ‘‘ample waming’’, says city director of operations John Colongard. The get-tough policy on collec- tion, he said, was driven by two considerations: 1) .the need to do something about the increasing. and ‘prohibitive’ cost of garbage collection and disposal, and 2) to encourage residents to be- come more conscious of the need to follow the three Rs — reduce, re-use and recycle. . City. sales of subsidized com- ‘posiérs over the past two years had been an effort to get people moving in that latter direction, _ Colongard noted. While an attempt at establishing _ a recycling depot here had failed for economic reasons, he said there were other ailernatives to simply. throwing stuff into the garbage. -* Old newspapers could be com- posted while other goods could pethaps be disposed of through garage sales or the Salvation Amy and hospital auxiliary second-hand shops, Whatever method they used, the important thing was peaple make an effort to reduce the amount of ~ gatbage they produced, he added. ~ Colongard also pointed out the provincial’ government had told municipalities they had to halve the amount. of refuse going into their landfill sites by the end of the century. Tn the case of Terrace, the need’ - § is even more urgent. Engineering director Stew Christensen has warned in the past that if there is no reduction, the city’s Tandfill wal by full by then, . tion, council has agreed to other measures, which recognize special situations, Where special. circumstances resulied in an unusual amount of garbage — moving house, for ex- ample — the resident could ar- range for an additional pickup.
