Item No. 8 Status of Action Items Relating to the Proposed Importation of Contaminated Soils

 

 

Mr, Stuart Somerville, of Ecowaste, and Mr. Greggory Campbell, of Hazco Environmental Services, came forward and advised that their companies had made the decision not to proceed with the proposed importation, treatment and disposal of contaminated soil from the United States. Nevertheless, Mr. Somerville confirmed that all required Federal and Provincial permits had been in place. He added that they intended to lobby the Provincial and Federal governments with a view to harmonizing contaminated soil standards. He thanked Mayor and Councillors for their patience in this matter, and he asked the Mayor to extend his appreciation to staff for their professional and responsible actions in dealing with this issue. Mr. Campbell reiterated Mr. Somervilles statements, and he added that they regretted bringing this matter forward and causing such a negative public response, and that they wished to continue working with the City.

Ms. Frances Clark, 8160 Railway Avenue, and Mr. James Sullivan, representing the Disability Resource Centre, advised that they were present to respond to any questions which Council might have.

 

 

Item No. 6 2002 Operating Budget

 

 

Ms. Lorraine Bissett, President, and Mr. Bob Gilchrist, Vice President, respectively, of CUPE Local 718 (Richmond Inside Workers), spoke about the concerns of employees regarding certain aspects of the proposed 2002 operating budget. Mr. Gilchrist spoke about the good working relationship between the City and the Local. A copy of their presentation is on file in the City Clerks Office.

 

 

(In an aside, Mayor Brodie welcomed members of the 11th Richmond Pathfinders who were in attendance at this evenings Council Meeting.)

 

 

Mr. John Wong, of McKay Drive, voiced concern about the lack of projected revenue information in the budget; and the proposed property tax increase of 3.95%. He addressed the operating expenses for (i) recreational programs and suggested that user fees to non-residents should be increased for aquatics and arenas facilities, (ii) the Library, (iii) the Gateway Theatre; and (iv) the YVR. He also expressed his opposition to using casino gaming revenue to help reduce the property tax acquisition.

 

 

Mr. Geoff Lake, President, Richmond Firefighters Association Local 1286, spoke about the recommendation that staff find an additional $500,000 efficiencies for contribution to the Capital Reserve Fund. He urged Council to pass the budget and to work with the City's unions to find efficiencies for the 2003 budget, rather than allowing employees to continue to be concerned about their future.
