COUNCILLOR PAM Goldsmith-
Jones is planning to add the job of
tour-guide to her resume. For one
day at any rate.

NORTH VANCGUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL
by Martin Millerchip

Goldsmith-Jones made the offer
during debate Oct. 17 on the costs
of the official opening of North
Vancouver District's tew municipal
hall.

Municipal staff had proposed
that council approve a budget of
$5,900 in addition to an already
approved promotion budget of
$2,500 for a total ouilay of $8,400
onan event that has. as yet, no date.

But council members were unan-
imous in their desire to keep down
the costs of the event

“We have to sicp setting our-
selves up as officials when the pub-
lic come and see us {| don't mind
spending a bit of money, but TE don't
think the public is interested in any-
more ‘we-come-lo-you" events,”
said Goldsmith-Jones.

Looking at the budget of $1,200
for invitations, programs and tour
guide, Goldsmith-Jones continued,

“Ell be the tour guide if you like.
We should commit ourselves to a
more active role."

Coun. Janice Harris said she
would not be unhappy with a more
formal opening of the hall but
agreed that it should not be so
pricey.

“It seems excessive for a down-
home opening of a community cen-
tre,” said Harris.

“It's too rich for me,” agreed
Coun. Emie Crist.

“T think it’s up to us (council-
lors) to do a little PR work along
with the department heads. [ see a
representative of our financial ser-
vices here. I'm sure he would be
happy to show our citizens where to
go to pay their taxes."

Council agreed to cut $2,900
trom the staff proposal and add only
$3.000 to the existing budget (some
of which was spent on refreshments
for the public ducing tax-paying
week) for a total budget of $5,500.

Communications officer Diana
Nelson said the opening celebration
would likely be more low-key.
