Aé CASTLEGAR NEWS, September 13, 1981 COUNCIL BREIFS TGL causes city concern The life of a proposed agreement between the city of Castlegar and Transport Canada is worrying the city council. At issue is how long the Castlegar airport's Track Guidance Locator (TGL, a radio guidance system for aircraft) will occupy a four- acre site in the city's new industrial park. Transport Canada wants to include a clause that will automatically renew the agreement when it is about to expire, while ‘the city council insists that the in- stallation is supposed to only be in place for a maximum of 10 years before a new system is installed. The council voted during its meeting Tuesday not to consider the proposed re- newal clause. Ald. Charlie Cohoe com- mented that the TGL had replaced a system so old that it was promptly shipped toa museum as a relic iwhen it operations were interupted. He added that the company has been told its losses were caused solely by the negli- gence of the city and its con- tractors. The company decided it would be in the best interests of good corporate citizenship to drop the matter, he con- tinued. Ald. Albert Calderbank, chairman of the finance com- mittee; Mayor Audrey Moore; and Ald. Len Em- bree, who said he has criti- cized the company before for non-involvement, commented they were pleased with the company's move. STAFF COMPLEMENTED Two letters were sent to the city complementing mu- nicipal employees. The Castlegar Chamber of Commerce wrote to thank the city’s public works staff for its help in preparing for the SunFest parade, and an official with the ministry of consumer and corporate af- fairs on the ex was di Mayor Audrey Moore said the TGL's site in the in- dustrial park is worth $400,000, and Ald. Jim Gouk said better equipment than the TGL has been developed. ARENA TO STAY The city’s old arena will stay in service until a new ice surface has been provided, according to Ald. Carl Henne. He also said the city in- tends to keep the site, and has no plans to sell it in the future for any commercial purposes. HIGHWAYS MINISTRY RAPPED The highways ministry was criticized again for in- adequate highway signs pointing the way to Castle- gar. Ald. Albert Calderbank made the comments, saying the Castlegar-Salmo cutoff is poorly posted, and it is time the ministry made some im- provements, Calderbank, the council's tourism co-ordinator, will be writing to the ministry to complain. He estimated it will be the fifth time the city has done so. Castlegar aldermen will also be reminding Tourism Minister Pat Jordan of the problem during the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ conven- tion later this month. Calderbank said Jordan has recently written to him, saying the concerns about highway signs reised when ‘she visited the area in July have been passed on to Highway Minister Alex Fra- ser. CONCEPT ALMOST COMPLETED A revitalization proposal for the Castlegar downtown core is in its final stages. Ald. Charlie Cohoe said cost estimates are being pre- pared for the concept, and steering cellent work done by th works superintendent in maintaining the municipal cemetery and on the co-op- eration he received from city staff during a recent visit. CITY SUPPORTS APPEAL An appeal launched by the Kootenay-Columbia Child personal reasons, the council was told. Discussions of a possible replacement were referred to the council's committee of the / COURT NEWS In provincial court Thurs- day Kenneth Kinakin pleaded guilty to two sep- arate charges, one of driving without insurance and one of driving while his driver's licence was under suspen- sion.

Lotteries Fund, and it is asking Provincial Secretary Evan Wolfe to reconsider the decision. The city will also write to Wolfe, pointing out the agency does a lot for the community with limited funds, and up to this time, its support has come from dona- tions from residents. The society needs the funds to improve the outdoor area at the Hobbit Hill Children’s Centre for chil- dren enrolled in the special needs program. CRACKDOWN COMING Motorcyclists riding in the city’s new industrial park are creating problems, and the RCMP will be cracking down. Council was told the prop- erty will be posted, because cyclists riding up dirt banks are destroying a $20,000 re- seeding effort. Any cyclists the RCMP catch will face charges of wilfully intending to damage property, under provincial legislation already in place. OFFER DECLINED An offer from the Tele- phone Workers’ Union to brief the council about the telephone industry's plans to sell telephone equipment to people was turned down. The:TWU's letter said the plans will result in much higher resi will be meeting with prop- erty owners to discuss the proposal and its costs. CELGAR WITHDRAWS BILL BC Timber has decided against launching a lawsuit to try ‘o recover $55,000 in damages caused by the city. Company president Donald Watson wrote that the inci- dent happened in September 1979, when an el rates, and added that the union wants to tell people about it prior to CRTC hear- ings later this fall. The council felt it should stay out of discussions be- tween B.C. Tel and its union, and individual members with concerns can address the CRTC directly.
