‘Peninsula taxpayers are being
asked for too. much money for

the regional library system, say :

Jocal.council members.

The Vancouver Island
Regional. Library board voted
Nov. 1 to limit its. budget in-
crease in 1987 from 16 to 11 per
cent, but it. was not enough to
satisfy area.council members.

‘The .11 per cent is still too
high,’’? said Sidney Ald. Cy
Relph. “lt snot tolerable what-
soever.’ ,

Central Saanich Ald. Ruth
Arnaud thinks. that for the

- amount. of: money . they -con-

tribute,. the Peninsula \ could

have. its . own

library system.
“I'm. certainly: going tO -eXx-

_ plore it, and I think. it’s a real

possibility,”’ said Arnaud:

Wednesday, November 19, | 986 .

Although the budget increase
is: 11 per cent overall, . the
amount local taxpayers con-
tribute will: jump considerably
more than that. This is because
the three local municipalities are
being. asked to.bear more of the
financial burden for the system.

This year, taxpayers in each
of the three local municipalities
contributed about $100,000 to
the system.

Sidney council moved Nov. 3
to write a strongly worded letter
to the library board deploring
the budget. They are also pro-
testing to. the provincial
secretary, who is:in charge of
the library -system, and. the
Association . of

Central Saanich council and

Three’ locations in Central

Saanich are’ being eyed for a
facelift.

At a-recent Central Saanich

Business Association’ meeting,
members decided to spearhead

three applications for provincial |
‘feasability. ,

to” fund
studies ‘to revitalize the Brent-
wood business core, Saanichton
and Keating Crossroad areas. —
Responding to guest speaker

ministrator for the: provincial
government’s
revitalization _program,. CSBA
members voted: to seek’ initial
study. . funding’ forall. . three.

business ‘areas rather’ than ar-.

bitrarily pick one location.

“This is the very early’ em-_
_ ‘bryonic stage,” Thomas said in...
“a later-interview.. ‘‘The: funding pt

If. approved - by: Central
“Saanich: council,

CSBA also agreed -to. hire -

three different . planning. con-

‘But. first, _ they have to

be tied :together and how,’
Thomas said.

“The beauty of this program

is that it comes from the grass

* Sidney Mayor.Norma Sealey
said the budget was vaguely
drafted, and that reading it was

“like trying to pick up a hand--

ful of mercury.”’

She also questioned specific
line items in the budget: ‘‘I’d
like to have the contract to
make. $11,000 worth. of nylon
book-bags,”’’ she said.

A library board press release
issued last week noted the new
budget’ represents an average
per capita cost of $13.22. to
regional taxpayers. ‘‘This is still

substantially less than the pro-
vincial average of about $18,”’
the release said. =

At the Nov. 8 board meeting,

members: voted 173 to 94 in-

favor of the hike.

An earlier. motion to tax an
additional 16 ‘per. cent went
‘That means
the library will have to delay
building up a capital. reserve
fund for the purchase of a badly
needed new computer system,”’
the VIRL letter said.

However, the. approved _in-

_crease will allow for more staff —

in Nanaimo.

The press release ‘also noted
book circulation has increased
by 40 per cent during the past
five years, while staff levels in
branches increased by about
four per cent.

The new budget will allow for
a 12 per cent staff increase
throughout the region and the
production of.a new microfiche
catalogue.
