Nelson director Ald, John Neville, a member of the planning committee, said municipal planning was deliberately excluded from the planning scheme because the cost of service to all nine municipalities in the RDCK would be excessive. Under the planning department recommendations the board would have to agree to pay extra for municipal planning, Neville Directors also agreed to reserve decision on the report's recommendations dealing with the hiring of up to three personnel to handle the proposed workload. Several board members suggested that additional planning staff be employed on a temporary contract basis rather than a permanent one. Area F director Dave Pearce, along with Moore and Creston director Ald. Ed Gatzke voted against accepting the report, noted that such major cities as Vancouver are now making planning staff cutbacks because much of their personnel have completed the work they were hired to do and are now “of less use than they [FREEZE | POLICY Continued from page Al ell River, Seal Cove and Cran- brovk — scene of the Pacific Western Airlines jet crash which killed 42 COMMITTEE Continued from page Al services to the area can be charged to the constituent In- volved.” “Such communities should properly be responsible for administering and financing the function either directly or through the regional district on a fee-for-service basis,” the report said. “Under current profession- al salary and fee structures, planning for regional purposes is a costly function,” the com- mittee said in the report. “And to be adequately done it must receive better provincial ad- ministrative and financial sup- port.” Discussing the provincial grants structure for planning, the report noted annual grants to all regional districts for the fiscal year 1977 to 1978 ranged from $7,000 to $33,000 while regional plan preparation grants awarded to 12 regional districts under the Revenue Sharing Act ranged from $3,200 to $50,000. “Even more critical is the assistance offered to regional districts in preparing or imple- menting official regional plans,” it said, “The $1 million available averages out to $39,000 per regional district.” ~ Regional planning is the cause “of intense conflict be- Also contacted this week, city administrator Bill Krug told the Castlegar News the city received written confirma- lion of the new policy Monday. Commenting Monday on the increase in liabilily cover- age for Castlegar for an original $10 million, Mayor Audrey Moore said the lack of adequate coverage was a major factor “but only one of our concerns” in city council’s decision to withdraw from the Castlegar Airport function. The city gave the trans- port ministry notice in August of its plan to cease managing the airport — serving a popu. lation of about 80,000 in the Koolenays — because of the federal government's lack of attention to firefighting, man- power, terminal and naviga- tional needs of the airport as well as the potential liability - involved in operating it. After accepting late last month a final offer from the ministry the city called off its. threatened Halloween pullout . from the airport and agreed to operate the facility until March 31, 1979 in return for an increase to $20 million in cover- age during that period.

Municipalities, which covered poor co-operation, the unfair- ness of the system of distri- bution of planning costs and the undue municipal influence on planning. In most cases, the report said, annual tax requisitions for planning in regional districts are concerned primarily with planning for electoral areas. “This. is a bone of con- tention with many municipali- ties, who have their own in- house planning capability or he service of consult- 8," it said. “In such cases, the municipalities are paying to support a regional district function and recelve little or no service in return.” In fact, the report said, many submissions to the com- mittee suggested regional dis- triet members be given the power to opt out of regional functions, Such a move would require a re-examination of Section 766 (4a) of the Munici- pal Act, which allows regional boards to impose functions on individual members by a two- thirds vote, it said.

On that basis they esti- mate the number of deer in the herd and how many can be harvested that fall without cutting into the breeding stock for the following year. Voice of the People Editor, Castlegar News: Phe Women's Auxiliary of the Castlegar and District Hospital would like to thank everyone who patronized the Turimage sale and nut drive and made them both very successful, .All proceeds from these endeavors go toward making a patient's stay in the hospital more comfortable (such as TVs, easy chairs, ete., and anything that the government doesn't supply). Once the extended care wing is finished, there will be many things needed to make’ the stay of these patients more enjoyable. The hospital welcomes carolers at the holiday season. It is, however, fated i Then in the fall, they estimate how many deer have actually been killed during the legal season through checks in the field, highway checking stations, and in’ some years, statistical sampling of hunters through questionnaires. He said that regularly there is a discrepancy between the number of deer shot legally by hunters and the number they estimate have actually been shot. This third of the harvest is that taken out of season by poachers of various kinds. Many are people who live close to the woods and consider big game part of the annual meat supply. This is terribly hard to stop. Counsellors’ Allowance Up to $75 The ministry. of human resources has increased the " u they call 365-7130 or 365-8087 to arrange times. Mra.
