District vows to trim increased budget

A TENTATIVE 10 per cent budget increase, trash
and Expo were the focus of North Vancouver

District’s first ever mid-term address at Monday's 2%9 Alpine Community roads and drainage im- ing is underway with the
BC's +1

council meeting.

With the switch to bien-
nial elections, this is the first
year the district has had no
inaugural council meeting,
but Mayor Marilyn Baker
used the opportunity to
refiect on 1985 and review

the future.
Council received the
district’s 1986 provisional

budget which calls for over a
10 per cent increase spending
to $33,244,449,

Council members were
quick to caution that this
was only a draft budget and
much of the next four mon-
ths would be spent trimm-
ing. °

Ald. Ernie Crist catled the
budget ‘‘a bit of a shocker,"’
but said it may be justified
to supply the need services to
residents.

Baker pointed out that for
the last three years the
district has had one of the
lowest residential, commer-
cial and industrial tax rates
in the region.

Looking back on 1985,
Baker sighted the recent
Greater Vancouver Regional
District solid waste apree-
ment as a major achieve-
ment.

While many details are yet
to be ironed out, the plan
calls for the closing of

Premier Street Landfilt in
early 1988,

“T believe we have taken
the first giant step in

recommending this plan for
adoption by the province,”
Baker said. ‘‘Gone are the
days when it is acceptable to
have the leachate from our
landfills uncollected and un-
treated, escaping into the
surrounding lands and water
courses."*

Baker also reviewed work
on the Official Community
Plan for the district, poin-
ting to the adoption of the
Maplewood and Central In-

.

ter River plans and work on
others such as the Seymour

plans.
