Rust told the Castlegar News he was

Interviewed after the meeting, Calder-
bank noted Moore's: practice in previous
appointments for new councils was to rotate
committee chairmen. ~

Asked about the manner in which the
1979 committee conducted city business, he
said they operated “very efficiently” and left
few outstanding matters for the new council.

Commenting -on Moore's decision to
return him as planning. committee chairman,
he said planning is‘a very crucial depart-
ment” but said he did not think its role would
be'‘any more critical in the upcoming year
than in the past.

“Perhaps the fact that we're receiving
quotations for the updating of the city plan is
going to make it fairly crucial,” he said. “But I

has resolved some of the
problems which led to their
criticism of the body's non-
Doukhobor membership.

. One of the main concerns
of the USCC was based on
their impression that the
committee “would be limited
to its own personnel as its
work proceeded.”-

“The committee was or-
iginally designed as a core
group and we expect that as
our knowledge and under-
standing grows and as the

position of the committee and
recognition that what the
committee has to secure is

and trust of

The USCC was also in-
itially doubtful about the in-
fluence and resources given

to the committee, he said.
