The District gave notice last year that it would withdraw from the Recrea- tion Commission at the end of April, 1982, because of the funding dispute. But as part of the truce, Diustnct council voted Monday to ex- tend the termination notice until December 31, 1982. The commission's costs are now divided on the basis of population, with = the District paying two-thirds of the cost and the City the other third. But North Vancouver City council feels that formula ts unfair because District residents use recreational facihties ten times more than City residents. City council would rather see a funding formula based on the number of users of recrea- tional facihties from cach municipality. The committee, made up of aldermen and staff from both councils, will study such a method of funding and report by June | on its feambility for 1983. It will have a statistician available to study the number and type of users of various recrea- tional facihties. The committee will also study the sharing of capital expenditures — which Distnict council thinks are unfairly distributed. City council passed the necessary bylaws with little debate, but things didn't go quite so smoothly at District.

Let's not degenerate into name calling,” she said. The trouble started last April, when City council decided to press for a new funding formula. Dhijstnct council wasn't interested, and, in an apparent bargain- ing ploy, gave notice that it was pulling out of the agree- ment. City Alderman Gary Payne said Monday the trou- ble arose because the Recreation Commission bylaw was never amended to take changing conditions in- to account.

The trouble is that though about one third of the Recreation Centre users are City residents, the same isn't true of the other facilities, he said. Shrimp Co right off the boat Giant $2.50/ip.
