CURB cries foul over city costs Wi Fair Wage Legislation could + increase costs of capital projects Scott David Harrison EDITOR The Coalition Unaccepting Rash Bureaucracy says Castlegar has mis- lead its citizens. CURB president Michael O’Connor - said increased costs for the city works relocation project “is typical.” O’Connor is angry that the price tag for the relocation of the city works yard has increased by $25,000. Originally stated to be an expenditure of $850,000, the 1992 budget has allocat- ed $875,000 to the project. “I don’t think there are any real fig- ures,” O’Connor said. “If they are going to apply numbers, it will be just a pipe dream. It’s all a smoke screen for more spending.” ; O’Connor, who protested the reloca- tion of the public works yard to the in- dustrial park, says Castlegar will be lucky if the project comes in at $875,000. He suspects the cost will be much more. Councillor Doreen Smecher said re- location is a done deal. She said the contract has been awarded and the ap- propriate funds have been allocated. “It’s not a major increase,” she said. “If you're going to nickel and dime con- tractors, he’ll recover those costs some- where along the line when your founda- tion starts crumbling down.” Smecher also said the project may re- quire more money. She said the provin- cial government's Fair Wage Legislation could push the price tag up. “That’s one of those things that we have no control over,” she said.- “It’s entirely possible that it could cost more.” Q’Connor also took issue with the cost of city hall renovations. He said the $903,000 the city is planning to spend “is a waste of money.” “Renovation costs are going for a building that is useless,” O’Connor said. “[’djust as soon see the city build an entire new hall for $1 million. At least we would see something with the mon- ey they are planning to spend.”
