At Tuesday night’s council meeting it was recommended the commission be allowed to rent the facilities formerly used by the Kinnaird Library for its office. Rental fee, effective July 1, was set at $75 a month. Regional Recreation Com- mission No. 1 is presently located on Main St. and requested ‘space in Kinnaird Hall to alleviate a situation where it. was facing increased rent. It is presently paying $175 a month. Council's recommendation also included added duties for the commission. These: would be the booking of the hall and the Bob Brandson Memorial Pool complete with collecting funds, bookkeeping and being liaison between. the . party booking: the” hall. and) the caretaker in Bila to clean up. This step resulted after a request was received Tuesday night from Regional Recreation Commission No. 1 asking council to support the commis- sion in a request to Regional District of Central Kootenay that a levy be assessed for operation and maintenance of Pass Creek Park as spelled out by the Regional Parks Act. This would have to be done with the approval of city council and areas I and J with all three located in what is defined as the participating area. “Presently the commission is operating the park with money designated for recrea- tion: With rising costs and a fixed budget, the S ecaealsa is now having difficulty with any activities in this’ park," said Ald. Mike Livingstone. He said he also understood Dave's Chicken the commission may be unable to provide a proper lifeguard for the park.

Rust said he would like to see an investigation into the matter and was opposed to the motion that council support the commission in making a presentation to RDCK because of the wording “levy may be assessed". He said he recog- nized the problem but would prefer to have a study on the matter. He and Ald.
