the 1455 Marine Dr. McDonald's.

Moodie to attend Monday
night’s WV board meeting

From page 1

Furk pointed out that the
Moodie report determined that the
WVSB could generate a net lot-
sale revenue of $11,500,000 and
that the cost of building a new
Caulfeild school would be
$13,048,200, which would Icave a
$1,548,200 deficit.

But Player said he has a letter
from the provincial government
saying District 45 will not have to
pay any financing charges for
three years while building the new
middle school.

In her report, Furk said the
current capacity of District 45's
three high schools is 3,300 stu-
dents, with Hillside’s capacity at
approximately 1,200.

The proposed capacity of the
Caulfeild Plateau school is 750
students.

“Therefore, after construction
of the proposed school, the total
available capacity would be
reduced by 450 to 2,850 stu-
dents,"’ said Furk.

She added that if the WVSB
decides to keep Hillside, there

would be adequate student capaci-
ty beyond the year 2000.

But Player said Furk is wrong.

“She has errors in capacity.
She’s stretching things here. This
trustee does not have her facts
straight,’’ said Player. ‘‘We have
to add on. We will run out of
space by the year 2000 even if we
did keep Hillside so, again, she is
wrong.”"

The Moodie report states that
while the short-term year-to-year
real estate markets tend to be er-
ratic, the 10-year trend shows an
average West Vancouver lot value
increase of about 11% per annum.

But Furk said the school board
should not take a risk with pro-
jected real estate prices and called
the 11% per annum increase ‘‘a
very broad assumption.’’

However, Player said the 11%
Moodie report figure was a con-
servative estimate.

Player said Moodie Consul-
tants’ principal Jim Moodie will
be at Monday night’s school
board meeting to answer any
questions about his report.
