Relief plan needs more work

By OLGA RUSKIN

A PROPOSED $100,000 plan to provide aid to
victims of flooding and other natural disasters in
North Vancouver District was sent back to the
drawing board Monday night because Dihjstrict
council felt its sponsor needed to do some more

homework.

Alderman Ernie Crist's
notice of motion to have the
District set up a_ special
$100,000 Natural Disaster
Compensation Fund found
no seconder. But Mayor Don
Beli said he would allow
discussion, unless
challenged, on Crist’s notice
of motion for a special fund
to help residents who suf-
fered flood damage in last
year’s severe rainstorms.

Provincial assistance is
limited to damage suffered
to the home and insurance
does not cover acts of God
such as flood.

Bell reported to council —

that he had spoken with the
Municipal Affairs Depart-
ment about Crist’s notice of
motion and the
municipality's position with
regard to such a fund.

Bell said he was told the
Municipal Act allowed a

municipality to give aid to
such a fund but not to set it
up.

The vagueness of Crist’s
notice of motion “creates
problems”, Bell stated to
councd.

The mayor went on to
point out also that “the
amount of the fund is not
realistic.” He stated further
that the District, by getting

involved in such a fund,
would be setting a pre-
cedent.

Crist, Bell suggested,

should take a more detaijed
approach to his notice of
motion — such as providing
criteria upon which to base
the funding.

Crist replied that he had
deliberately not made his
notice of motion detailed
because “I am aware of these
technica! problems”.

He said the District

framework to

solicitor had told him there
was nothing to prevent the
municipality from setting the
fund up.

Crist also commented that
“the $100,000 figure is very
inadequate. I kept the figure
low so that council would
find it easier to swallow”.

Alderman Marilyn Baker
stated she had difficulty with
Crist’s frequent notices of
motion which she described
as “headliners every week”.
She said that while there was
some validity to the notices
of motion, when presented
they were not complete

enough.
Baker

told council she
couldn't support Crist’s
present notice of motion
because it needed more
details, such as how much
money is actually needed.

Alderman John Lakes
suggested the proposal be
taken up at budget
deliberations.

Mayor Bell told Crist that
when he had the necessary
proceed
further with his notion of
motion, he should bring it
back.
