Alex “It?s nice to have the opportunity to see what goes on behind the scenes.”” With the News for 10 years, Peters has covered a wide range of subjects, including news, sports, entertainment and more. ‘It’s very satisfying to have my photographs recognized in these contests,’’ said Peters. i J could have settled the debate had Brokenshire, who seconded the referendum motion. Ald. Mark Sager said council will be open to suggestions on how the question or questions on the referendum should be worded. Residents Edward Guy and An- dy Danyliu both supported the referendum idea. “The essential issue now is the phraseology of your question,” Guy said. Elaine Fonseca, of the Capilano Public Lands Committee (CPLC), said the hundreds of people who had’ attended the four meetings concerning the proposal had already made their wishes known. **We don’t need a referendum — we’ve had a referendum,” said Fonseca. Another CPLC member, Roff Johannson, charged that a refer- endum was an ‘‘easy way out.’ “It leaves to the next council the task of clearing up the mess of this one,’? added Johannson, who demanded that council get out of its lease with developers Newcorp Properties, pay the damages, downzone the property and then hold a referendum. Another referendum critic, local resident and IWA_ boss Jack Munro, took the opportunity to demand a public apology from Ald. Dave Finlay for calling him a ‘iar’? at the Sept. 19 hearing. “When you attribute a state- ment to me that I didn’t make, then you are lying,’ countered Finlay, who had hotly challenged a statement Munro had made about him. “In negotiations, Jack, I am sure you have been called worse things than thai,’’ Lanskail inter- jected humorously, in an attempt to pull the discussion out of per- sonal debate.

Council took other steps to reverse the progress of the twin tower proposal, including voting on a motion to kill a zoning amendment to allow above ground parking space to be excluded from the floor area ratio and defeating a development permit application. While council is failing to comp- ly with some of its responsibilities included in the lease agreement, the further costs and ramifications of pulling out of the $10 million. deal have yet to be determined by municipal solicitors. The newly released staff report, which clarified and commented on points raised at the Sept. 19 hear- ing, was criticized by Johannson, who called it ‘‘defensive and. polit- ical.” “They feel they have to justify their work,”’ Johannson said. Municipal manager Terry Lester said later he wished Johannson had been more specific about the report, which touched on nuinerous points. A couple of people spoke in favor of the proposed develop- ment, including a woman who predicted a rise in taxes if the towers didn’t go ahead. Scott Simm said he thought the proposal was a good use of the property. “West Vancouver is on the edge of a rapidly srowing world centre and can’t continue to just be a lit- tle community,’’ Simm said. Ald. Sager was disappointed by the lack of public support for the referendum idea. “This is an opportunity, in ad- dition to electing members of council, to make 2 strong state- ment about how we can _ best prepare this community for the future,’’ Sager caid.
