N. Van City’s
0-year plan
right on track

North Vancouver City’s
ten year plan of develop-
ment is falling slighty behind
schedule but is not off track,
City council was told last
week.

Council listened to an
interim report on the
planned program of capital
development which began in
1978 and while go on until
1987.

“While the revenues have
fallen behind... in_ total
we're not that far off,” City
accountant Dave Moulding
said.

He explained that the
majonty of money for the
development will come from
the sale of City land and that
over the last three years the
City has received $4 milhon
less than predicted

The City's land sales agent
Bernard Leong agreed that
the land sales program ts
behind schedule. but should

pick up in the next year or
two

“The plan os very suc
cessful to date.” City
engineer Lom Scout said

He said that) the con-

struction of the water supply
system, the drainage relhef
system, and the paving of

Streets, are on schedule, and
the street lighting and lane
paving programs are just a
bit off schedule.

Scott) showed council
graphs and a flow chart
hinting that work would
procede far more smoothly if
council stuck with decisions
once they made them.

Council reacted
favourably to the reports by
staff members and decided
to review the plan again at
the end of 1981 or early in
1982.

Since the majonty of the
money for the 10 year plan is
coming from land sales,
some council members
questioned where the money
was going to come from for
future development when ail
the land was sold.

“There's only one place
Money 1s going to come from
and that 1s by raising taxes,”
Mayor Jack Loucks said

For this reason Scott and
Loucks warned council that
the City could not afford to
embark on too many major

A new home for an old fire truck

Who wants to buy a 1958
100 foot Lafrance aerial fire
truck?

Well, luckily for the North
Vancouver City Fire
Department, the City of
Creston wants one, and City
council has voted to accept
thei offer.

The North Van _ fire
department has been trying
to get nd of the 1958 truck in
preparation for the arrival of
a new fire truck. expected
next month

But as a report to council
last week indicated, there is
not much of a market 1958
fire trucks

la fact, the City director
of purchasing said thal a
brochure indicating the
availability of the unit was
distributed at the past two
provincial chiefis
conventions, without getting’
even a nibble

fire

G.H. Brewer noted “there
is very little demand for used
apparatus,'’’ since a
recommendation to. the
provincial government that
equipment more than 15
years old only be sold by
special permit.

But the suppher of the
City’s new truck was ap
proached Creston to assist in

finding a used aerial fire
truck and after inspecting
the City’s unit an offer was
made on it.

Brewer recommended
that rather than go through
the ordinary method of
putting the truck up for sale,
Creston’s offer be accepted.

Council followed this
recommendation and _ the

truck, which was purchased
for $47,000, 22-years ago,
will be sold for $23,750.

A suggestion by Alderman
Gary Payne that the truck be
offered to the museum and
archives committee “as a
monument of fire fighting in
North Vancouver over the
last 22 years,” was not
supported by council.
