And Dean tells the News that it was by far from being the first time council had made major decisions in secret by reconvening a public council meeting after going in-camera. “This happens week after week,” she says. This is “in direct con- travention of the council procedure bylaw’ which requires that this report be dealt with ... (at) the next regular meeting of council,” Dean says in a motion she will present to council tomorrow. Important council decisions “have in fact been made in secret, as it 1s unreasonable to expect the public to wait in idleness for a continuation of the meeting after the in-camera procedure,” Dean says in the motion, which asks council to refer in-camera items to the next open conacil meeting. In-camera items are listed on the council agenda, giving the public some inkling of what council is discussing in secret, but the listings are only brief summaries. For example, the layoff of the 15 outside workers is listed on the February 28 agenda as “Engineering Department. (Recom- mendation of Finance Committee — February 22, 1983).” The layoff was brought to the public’s attention by the affected union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, at the March 7 council meeting. It brings the total number of City employees laid off since December to 23. CUPE research consultant Dave Farie asked council to rescind the layoffs until the union has had a chance to discuss alternatives with council. Though council members did agree to hold a special meeting with the union next Tuesday, Mayor Jack Loucks made no promise to postpone the layoffs. ; , He told Farie that council gave two weeks’ notice of | the layoffs, so it could change its mind within those two weeks. City Engineer Alan Phillips said there is not enough money in the capital works budget to keep the full outside crew employed at present. In fact, at first he had considered laying off 30 men because of the lack of money but decided instead to advance some of the money that comes into the capital works budget, and thereby keep more men employed at present. Money for the capital budget comes from the tax sale lands reserve fund. Council gave first readings Monday to a bylaw that will free $1,287,600 of that money to start work on several projects, thus holding the layoffs to 15, instead of 30. Alderman Dean said the union and the City should try Deerhunter fined DEERHUNTING on Bowen Island cost a Burnaby man $350 when he was fined in North Vancouver provincial court Friday, February 25. after being convicted of hunting on cultivajed land.
