N. Van City wants to

COUNCIL WILL meet council face to face for the
first time in four years as North Vancouver City
and the Squamish Indian band try to resolve all
the differences between them at one go.

City council voted
Monday to meet with the
Squamish band council in
the very near future to try to
come to an agreement on
such issues as improving
Third Street between Forbes
and Bewicke, building the
Lower Levels Road link
across the band’s Reserve

No. 4, and providing new
water connections for the
reserve.

Band Chief Phillip Joe.
who attended the City
council meeting, said he was
pleased the two councils
would finally get together.

Joe said he was frustrated
with delays in dealing with
City staff on the matter of
the water supply. City
Engineer Alan Phillips and
Mayor Jack Loucks said they
were equally frustrated by
the lack of communication
from the band.

Phillips said he first
suggested last July providing
improved water services to
the reserve in exchange for
allowing the City to improve
Third Street. Negotiations
have been ‘frustratingly
stow” since then, te com-
plained.

Alderman Frank Marcino
and Britt Sorenson said they
weren't sure exactly what
issues had to be resolved
with the band council. “I've
almost fost track of all the
things we've negotiated
about,” Marcino said.

The decision to meet face
to face with the Squamish
band council arose out of a
suggestion by the = City’s
Technical Planning Com-
mittee that any decision to
improve the water supply to
the reserve be tied-in with all

the other outstanding items

between the City and the
band.
But some counc?l

members felt that attitude
was too confrontational.

Alderman Ralph Hall even
suggested that the City had
to shoulder a great deal of
the blame for the lack of
success in past negotiations.
The City has treated the
Squamish Indians very
poorly over the years, he
said. “They've given us a lot
and weve taken more.”

He said council has to get
rid of the mistrust that seems
to exist between it and the
Squamish band.

One of the most important
issues for the City 1s the
Lower Levels Road, which
now runs from the eastern
end of the City to Park Royal
Shopping Centre -- except
for the Squamish Reserve
No. 1. Traffic has to pass
along Third Street through
the reserve, and Third Street
iS Not in very good condition
as it passes through the

reserve.
