page & - June 22, 1977 - North Shore News Councils Round-up =. ) ; North Vancouver District council administered a sharp slap on the wrist Monday to their opposite North Van City Hali for the manner in which last week’s dismissal of Recreation Dir- ector Aif Lewsey was hand- led. In a prepared statement District Mayor Don Bell said **It was the District Council’s understanding and intention that both councils would act im camera on this matter, as is usual with decisions affecting personnel...Unfor- tunately, the City Council passed its resolution of dismissal during the public portion of its agenda.”’ As a result of this slip, Mr. Lewsey found out about his dismissal from a newspaper reporter who phoned him for his comment. The decision to act im camera was intended ito prevent such a thing from happening.

One neighbor claimed to be able to hear tennis balls being hit at the tennis courts a block away. Not to be outdone, another . resident declared that they could hear the tennis balls three blocks away. It was suggested that a group of boys with skate- boards will make more noise than tennis balls. In an effort to bring 'Monday’s hour-long discus-: sion to a head, Alderman Don McAlister moved that the Inglewood site be drop- ped and another site picked. But a tabling motion by Alderman Don Lanskail was successful and the matter will come back to council next week after further investigation and a report from Aldermen McAlister and Robert Hicks. Martin Smith, the author of a skateboard park plan drawn up for the munici- pality months ago, suggested that another site could be the THIS COUPON | WORTH Limit 1 coupon per customer Expires June 29, 1977 . 1 WORTH Limit 1 Coupon Por Customer Expires June 29/77 CARLTON'S CLEANING CAROUSEL 922-4811 For Professional Alterations or Repairs minimum $5.00 order.
