EE election countdown

‘New thinking’ says Taylor

NEW THINKING 15 needed
to replace that of the ‘told
guard’’ at North Vancouver
City hall, says City alder-
manic candidate Dana
Taylor, making his fourth
bid for a council seat in the
November 19 election.

Taylor — who missed be-
ing elected in 1981 by fewer
than 90 votes, coming
seventh for the six alder-
manic vacancies — believes
his candidacy represents a
response to the public’s
desire for change.

‘*l behleve the duty of City
council extends beyond mere
maintenance of the = status
quo,’’ he declared. ‘*The cur-
rent economic climate and
actions of the provincial
government have placed an
additional burden on, and
created new responsibilities
for the municipality.

DANA TAYLOR

“‘The electorate recognizes
these occurrences and is
therefore ready to support a
new council that is prepared
to respond to change.’

A ‘‘sound management
plan,’’ Taylor said, demands
that council must hold a com-

prehensive view of people's
expectations for the future.
‘‘How will this city progress
when dominated by an ele-
ment on council preoccupied
with remaining the same?’’
he asked.

Among specific campaign
issue he stresses protection of
municipal autonomy, a local-
ly initiated economic
recovery program, develop-
ment of community facilities
and more efficient delivery of
services.

An administrator with a
construction association and
a Lower Lonsdale family
homeowner, Taylor has serv-
ed five years on the Advisory
Planning Commission, six on
the board of North Shore
Neighborhood House and
also as a Recreation Commis-
sioner and Arts Council
director.
