The policy, approved at Monday's board meeting, came just days after the Ministry of Education approved $1.1 million in capital expenditures for the Castlegar sehool district. Included in that amount is $869,000 for renovations to Stanley Humphries secondary school. “I feel very strongly that it is up to us to see that this tax money stays in this tax area,” board chairman Kay Johnson said after the meeting. Johnson said hiring for the major projects would be done through local union halls. Castleg The policy adopted at the meeting defines major projects as those where working drawings and Ministry of Education approval of tenders are required. Major projects have generally been those in excess of $25,000, secretary- treasurer John Dascher said Tuesday. The board will use Westar and Cominco as local industries to define a fair wage. But confining the policy to contracts over $25,000 did not satisfy trustee Rick Pongracz, who said he wants the policy to cover both major and minor contracts. “The policy shouldn't treat anything differently,” Pongracz said. “Fair wages are what we expect to be paid within the school distriet. My feeling is it should be for all contracts let by the school district.” But trustee Doreen Smecher, chairman of the board's Vol. 39, No. 39 \W buildings and grounds committee which formulated the policy, disagreed with Pongracz. Smecher said minor projects in the district are advertised only locally. “If they're advertised only locally, then a fair wage would be up to the individual contractor and they're governed by what happens locally.” Trustee George Anutooshkin, who also sits on the buildings committee, wondered how the board could dictate a fair wage policy for individuals or family businesses. “What if an individual works by himself or a family business bids on small projects of $25,000 or less? How would we deal with something like that?” The trustees finally decided to direct the board's policy committee to meet with the buildings committee as soon as a7 continued on poge A2 ‘News CASTLEGAR, BRITISH COLUMBIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1986 $300,000 deficit...

I think it's a bit premature,” he said. However, he did add: “You can guess everybody in the community wants to see improvement” and have made sug. gestions. This is Osipov's second appointment as a ministry representative to review an application for a variance order. His first review came last year, but was not related to a pulp mill. “I am not a pulp and paper tech nologist,” Osipov stressed “I am an adjudicator in this matter.” He added that he has access to pulp and paper expertise if he needs it Meanwhile, Mayor Audrey Moore said Osipov's disclosure that he will have recommendations within two or three weeks is “much sooner than I expected.” She said she hopes the ministry will act as swiftly as possible on the rec ommendations. Moore said Osipov asked council if it considered shutting the mill as an option. Council was clear in stating that “closing the mill an option,” Moore said. “We don't see that as a viable option.” However, all of council expressed concern about the 10-year time frame continued on poge A2 is not Residents support pub By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer A proposed bylaw to rezone a piece of property in Robson to permit the operation of a neighborhood pub and take-out restaurant received full sup port at a public hearing Monday night in Robson Hall The 25 minute public hearing. at tended by about 20 people. saw three people support the rezoning.
