Item No. 1

George Pearkes Lacrosse Box
van d n Camp met with tl.e committee in regard to
the letter vhich he sent August 15, 1989. He
indicated that when there iiere organized lacrosse
practises or games that there was not a problem.
The problem comes when the young people practise on
their own and the constant noise of the ball banging
on the boards vas most disturbing. Another. problem
is with the young people hanging around at night by
and in the lacrosse box drinking etc .
iver.

Both Council illembers indicated that at this time the
lacrosse box would not be moved. However, a couple
of suggestions vere put forth; one being tiiut the
minor lacrosse association request that wli n their
players are using the box for practises tl".nt are not
scheduled that the players practise on the north end
of the bcn:. The other suggestion was that police
surveillance be done on a regular basis; and that
Hir. van den Camp report any cars that seemed to be
on Ulster Street on a continual basis which

appeeared to be causing a problem.

Item No. 2

Lions Park — Upgrade of Washrooms

Council has approved 525,000 out of park D.C.C.
interest to upgrade the washrooms at the park. The
tender call has gone out and the cost has come in at
434 I000. Therefore we need an additional $ 9,000;
the cost has increased due to the fact that the job
is small ard constructions costs have gone up
significantly in the past few months.
Recommendation:

That we proceed to open council to request an
additional 49J000 from park D.C.C. interest.

Item No. 3

Buckeroos — Advertising in the Arena

Item No. 4

~N

de Creek Estates — Parkland

The Parks and Recreation Director discussed the
parkland in the attached map. She indicated that
would be more feasible to do a swap of the "park

land" with an equal portion of land in the nature
reserve. This would leave a large tract of
evergreers undisturbed and that it become part of
the nature reserve. It also will mean that the new
proposed park would be more accessible and not as

isolated.

Recommendation:

@'CT
liaU&m,

That the proposed land swap, as irdicated in the
attached map, be approved and that this be taken to
Committee of Council.

August 15th, 1989

The Mayor and Alderman

City Hall

Por+ Coquitlam

Dear Gentlemen:

I recently moved to your city to enjoy the beautiful and
quite surroundings, which are much to be preferred after
spending my day time in the hustle of downtown Vancouver.
I live at the above address the last property next to the
Laczoss court.
On behalf o+ the owners of the Ulster Park and the owners
from across the street, where now some 50 units face this
court, we would like your council and or the Parks and
Recreation department to consider to move this court fram
our area.
As I understand, this court has been in existence for some
20 years, before there was any development in the area, but
it is an experience to see and hear what goes on here day
and night.
The paintings which disfigure the boards, the condoms in the
players enclosure the screams and shouts up to 2 a.m. the
beer cans and the cantinuous bouncing of the balls against
the boards drive us out af otir minds and are a disgrace to

this area and your city.

The courts are used for practice only three times a week for
one hour at which some 8 — 12 boys attend, but this does not
stop others to come at any hour of the day and night to
release their frustration on the boards.

In two months, 5 balls have landed in my garden and against
and I have seen two cars hit in Ulster Street
during practice time, it will not be long before a serious
accident happens. There is a lot of open area available
East of the Hyde Creek Community Centre were the noise level
would not di turb anybody and the graphics and relics will
be hidden from the families and their children.
Please, inform me if we can expect some action, so I can in
my wall,

HISTORY/BACRGROUND:

"Buckeroos" are working diligently towards the goal of becoming
self-sufficient and therefore have been searching for innovative ways
The

to generate revenues. They had set-up a system of selling game
sponsorships and then mentioning the sp onsoring business on the cable
broadcast. However, the C.R.T.C. which controls community
programming, quickly put an end to that process. Therefore, the
Buckeroos are in a bit of a bind to get this phase of their
fund-raising program off the ground.
ALTERNATIVES:

Since thi.s report has been prepared to respond to a request received
from a local community organizati.on; the Parks and Recreation
Committee can approve, re3ect, or approve the proposal with conditions.
DISCUSSION/JUSTIPICATIONc

outlined, the Buckeroos plan to hang temporary commercial
advertising signs (approx 3' 5') above the arena seating area and
around the ends of the rink surface on the outside of the wire mesh.
In addition, one sign per game would be hung from the underside of
the scoreboard. Please note that it is being prcposed to hang these
signs before each game and take them down immediately after each
game . The concept being explored is that when the cable television
cameras scan the arena, the crowd, or the scoreclock, the game
sponsors would realize a benefit (product/name recognition).
As

previously permitted temp orary adve rtising in the facility
duri ng tournaments, etc. Our onl y concerns evolve around the
Buck eroos request to hang signs o ne hour be fore game time. This
coul d interfere with the public s kating pro gram which takes place
Ou r preference would be to
imme diately before most Buckeroo games.
limi t set-up time to 1/2 hour pri or to the game time. In addition,
the Department should approve the content o f the signage to be
Ne h ave

inst alled.

Buckeroos other request involves selling a "pull tab lottery"
(coincidentally called the Buckeroo) during home games. They have
received approval from the British Columbia Gaming Commission to sell
these =ickets provided the Buckeroos obtain a letter of permission to
sell the tickets at the arena from the City of Port Coquitlam. The
prize structure in each 100 tickets is controlled by the Lotteries
Branch and the profit would be kept by the Club. They are proposing
to sell the tickets beginning one hour before game time and in the
The

arena lobby only.

Apparently, many ozganizations sell 50/50 tickets in ouz arena during
their events. I am not aware of any public concern being raised over
this issue and therefore would support the concept on a trial basis.
However, I would propose the tickets be sold from a table inside the
doors of the game arena and only during the Buckezoos rental time.
It is suggested that tickets should not be sold in the arena bleachers
CONCLUSION/SUMMARY:

Port Coquitlam Buckeroos Junior Hockey team have requested
permi ssion to hang temporary advertising signs and sell lottery
tickets. After reviewing the request, it is being recommended that
the Parks and Recreation Committee approve the request on a trial
basis, with some conditions. These conditions are being suggested to
The

limit the opportunity for conflict and/oz criticism.
