Item No. 9 – 2004 Annual Report

 

 

Ms. Lorna Robb expressed concern about roads and suggested that roads should be a higher priority than as indicated on the ‘tax notice’ insert.  She referred to a dangerous intersection at No. 6 Road and Cambie Road, and stated that she had been advised that improvements were not planned for that intersection for many years.  Ms. Robb stated that roads were very important to the City, and vital for necessary traffic movement.

 

 

Ms. Robb also voiced concern about taxation and fixed income homeowners.  She noted that taxes had increased but not seniors’ pensions, and she asked that those on fixed incomes be consulted prior to taxes being increased.

 

 

Item No. 8 – 2004 City of Richmond Audited Consolidated Financial Statements; and Item No. 21, Lane Standards Progress Report

 

 

Frances Clark, 8160 Railway Avenue, referred to the 2004 surplus funds (Item No. 8), and suggested that these funds be used to ‘top up’ the City’s grant budget, and to provide additional funds for community services, agencies and cultural services.

 

 

Ms. Clark referred to Item No. 21, and voiced concern about a property located adjacent to her complex, on which the developer had been required to construct a paved lane with street lighting and curbs, which would never be used because it was surrounded by adjacent developments.  She stated that because of this lane, children no longer had a place to play.

 

 

 

Adoption of Property Maintenance & Repair (Grow-Op) Bylaw No. 7897

 

 

Mr. William Patterson, of 9491 Desmond Road, stated his objections to the proposed bylaw, noting that he owned and rented out a number of condominium units and was opposed to having charges for these ‘grow-ops’ passed on to him as the landlord.  Mr. Patterson stated that he was not interested in having any more bills sent to him.

 

 

 

Item No. 6 – Richmond Firefighters for Habitat for Community

 

 

Ms. Anneke Rees, Executive Director, Habitat for Community, provided information on the efforts of Habitat for Humanity to provide housing to individuals who could not afford to own their own homes.  She also talked about the project being proposed by local firefighters to assist in the relief efforts for the tsunami-ravaged area of Sri Lanka.  In concluding her presentation, Ms. Rees urged Council to support the project.
