Council awaits lottery commitment
to new facilities for public library

City ° council
shelved Tuesday a
request for a money
bylaw or referendum
to finance construc-
tion of new facilities
for the Castlegar and
District Public Library
until lottery funds are
committed to the pro-
ject.

Ald. Charles Cohoe,
council's parks and recre-
ation committee chairman,

won support for his motion to |

ask a provincial lottery
grants branch official to in-
dicate how much would be
available for the project, tied
in with the city’s plans for a
$3 million civic centre located

on B.C. forest service land on.

Columbia Avenue, “should
the referendum prove to be

successful.”

The motion was in res-
ponse to a June 2 resolution
by the library board of trus-
tees asking for the money
bylaw or referendum “as!
soon as possible” after being
informed in a May 16 letter
from lottery grants co-ordin-
ator E.R. Orchard no grant
would be available until the
outcome of the referendum
was known.

“It’s very obvious the li-
bary is cramped in terms of
space,” Cohoe said.

“They've been working
for a considerable length of
time trying to obtain a com-

mitment from the lottery.

fund as to the sums of money
they might expect to receive
toward the construction of
the new libary. Unfortunate-
ly I don’t think the city can

proceed to a referendum or a
money bylaw without having
a firm commitment from the
lottery fund as to what sort
of participation they're will-
ing to make toward the con-
struction of a new library
facility." E

Speaking in favor of the
motion, Ald. Len Embree
said it was “the only response
council can make at this
time.” If the city receives a
response from the lottery
grants branch, he said, “then
we'll be able to take some
action.”

Mayor Audrey Moore
agreed, noting it is “difficult
to take a referendum to the
people when you don't know
what the financial picture is
going to be.”

Ald. Gerald Rust said he
was not opposed to the
motion, but was concerned
that the library board was

referring to new facilities
which would be included in
the city’s proposed complex.

“We're talking about a
new library facility per se,”
Rust said. “That's one thing.
I think it might sell. Talking
that a Castlegar civie centre
involves a number of things
that I feel are going to
complicate the whole situ-
ation. -

“I am concerned the
library, which probably is the
most needy, is going to suffer
because of the tie-in with the
other facilities.”

Moore pointed out the
civic centre project is still
only a concept.

“We're going to have to
get the financial questions
very detailed before we con-
sider going to the public," the
mayor said. “And I think this
is a start in trying to put that
financial backing together.”

Ombudsman joins push ©
for decision, says Gouk

The former Cas-
tlegar alderman
whose land develop-
ment ventures during
his two-year city
council term are the
target of a proposed
conflict at ienerest hte

uiry said Tuesday he
hos salered he ad of

B.C.’s ombudsman.

Jim Gouk told reporters
that after a seven-month wait
for a municipal affairs min-
istry decision on whether to
investigate his financial ac-
tivities while on council, his
frustration has prompted his
appeal for help from Karl
Friedmann,

Gouk said correspon-
dence from the ombudsman
as well as messages from his
staff indicates the ministry's
failure to make a decision on
the inquiry request launched
by eight Castlegar residents
in late November, 1979 is
under investigation.

He said he contacted the
ministry numerous times in

an effort to resolve the _

matter and “informed them I
don’t really care whether
they investigate or clear me
completely.” |
But despite verbal as-
surances that -“there’s no
possible conflict whatsoever"
and. a preliminary investi-
ation ‘by ‘Ted. Whelen,: the
ministry's executive officer,

“He said, however, ‘hav-

it would be necessary to
word more carefully his reply
to them,” the former alder-
man continued.

“I guess it’s going to be a
pretty careful reply, because
it's been seven months now’
and I guess he's still working
on it.”

Gouk said that after re-
peated unsuccessful attempts
to contact Whelen, whom he
described as his “sole con-
tact” within the ministry, he
finally resorted to contacting
the ombudsman.

“T've gone to the office of .

, the ombudsman, I phoned

them, they requested that I-
send ina bit of background in
writing and I forwarded this
to them,” he said.

“I've received telephone
calls and correspondence
from them indicating they've
received the information and
they are holding their own
investigation to find out why
municipal affairs is taking so
long to resolve the problem.”

Gouk said the prospect
of a conflict of interest in-
quiry has had no effect on his
personal life, although “it's
starting to have some minor

effect” on his business life.
“It created certain prob-
lems," he said. “I've over-

Subregional plan draws
sharp criticism from city

It does not reflect
the true concerns of
Lower Arrow Lake
area residents and
using it as a basis for
a settlement plan dic-

tating future planning:

would be erroneous.

That is the overall opin-
ion shared by Castlegar’s city
council planning committee
and advisory planning com-
mission members of a yet-to-
be-released preliminary draft
of the Arrow Lakes sub-
regional plan prepared by the
Regional District of Central
Kootenay planning depart-
ment.

Endorsed by council
Tuesday, comments from a
joint June 3 meeting of the
committee and the commis-
sion noted the draft plan:

ous provincial ministries be-
fore it went to the public;

e Fails to address

Planned low-cost lighting
eyed for Castlegar Airport

Provincial trans-
port ministry re-
search may provide a
new low-cost emer-
gency lighting system
‘suitable for use at
Castlegar Airport, ac-
cording to Kootenay
West MP Lyle Kris-
tiansen.

Ina May 24 letter to city
council, Kristiansen said
transport planning officer
John Olmstead has indicated
his office will ask a consultant
“in three to four months” to
design a system costing

$30,000 to $50,000 compared
to the $200,000 to $300,000
cost of a “full-fledged night-
lighting system.”

Research indicates a
fully-installed system, as op-
Posed to numerous battery-
operated lights, “may be best
of all,” the MP said.

“I had hoped a modest
Proposal for battery-oper-
ated lamps might gain quick
action to replace the terribly
outdated hurricane lamp sys-
tem,” Kristiansen's letter
said.

“It turns out, however,
that 70 or 100 battery lamps
of a sophisticated nature
might be as expensive (and a

lot less convenient) than the
low-cost installed lighting
system as is being re-
searched by the provincial
policy branch.”

Because of the proposed
system's low cost, convincing
the federal transport min-
istry to provide such a sys-
tem here “might not take
long,” Kristiansen said.

The Kootenay West MP
pledged to pursue the matter
further in consultation with
the local airport advisory
committee and “use as am-
munition our airport's aver-
age rate of one lifesaving
night-time evacuation per
month.”
