The partnership agreement was made official Tuesday — right as North Vancouver’s District: 44 school . board passed a motion agreeing to a proposed ‘cost sharing be- tween the NSUBH and “ boards are currently suppos- ed to be contributing 50 per cent, while the three local municipalities coutribute the District 45 that allows for ,remaining 50 per cent share West Vancouver’s contribu- tion to be $150,000 (the district’s full share is $260,000) for the 1986 budget year on the condition that health services to that district be reduced in direct relation. to the reduction in contribution.

The NSUBH invited District 45 to to re-establish its partnership with the health board October 3. The NSUBH offer was the same one made to the NSUBH by the West Vancouver board earlier this year. Following the rejection of the West Van board's original offer, the WVSB voted June 26 to officially withdraw from the health board funding HORSESHOE Bay has cleared the first hurdle in its. quest to move from frayed 60s to chic 80s commercial business core designs. - ‘A $5,000 provincial gov- ernment grant for the-North | Shore community, announc- ed earlier this month by Municipal Affairs Minister Bill Ritchie and MLA for West Sound John Reynolds as part of Downtown Revitalization Program, will preparatory design plans of Horseshoe Bay merchants for the fejuvenation of Horseshoe Bay’s business core. David Weiser, the sole Horseshoe Bay-based ar- chitect and the chairman of the Horseshoe Bay Business . and Professional Associa- tion, said Monday the grant will enable him, as the pro- ject’s design consultant, to initiate research in conjunc- _tion with the rest of the area’s merchants into for- mulating an overall! design plan for the Bay's much- needed commercial revitalization. ‘With Expo coming, Horseshoe Bay feels definitely behind the times. The merchants and everybody involved out here felt, if we were to attract any Vancouver-Howe - the provincial. finance the- business from visitors, we would need a much more at- tractive environment in agreement and instead to contract out its health ser- vice needs. North: Van school trustee Dr. Ross Regan voiced his objections to the motion’s written preamble and to the wording of the motion itself. He pointed out that state- ments such as ‘‘violaticn ef the contractual agreement’’ used in reference to the WVSB’s action were inac- curate and objectionable. . “They smack of chastising the West Vancouver board and we have no right to do that.; We could have done what the West Van board did. There is no violation, no wrong doing by West * Vancouver involved here.”’ Regan produced a motion passed by the North Van- couver board Oct. 4, 1983 in which the board accepted its 1984 funding agreement with which to do it.’’ Weiser pointed out that Horseshoe Bay’s commercial area is made up of S0s and ” 60s vintage buildings most of which have remained virtual- ly untouched for 20 years. The .proposed revitilization plan would affect most of downtown Horseshoe Bay: © the NSUBH, but could not guarantee agreements beyond that point. But trustee Dorothy Lynas said Regan was raising “a lot of to do about nothing. It’s a contractual agreement, nothing more; it’s not that important.”’ Arguing that close to $1 million was at stake; Regan said there was a need, with the North Vancouver School District paying $48 per stu- dent for health services, to investigate exactly, what District 44 was getting for its money. Under the 19863 agree- ment, West Vancouver School District’ will bay ap- proximately $30 per student for health care services.
