had hoped for, however, for the
initial trial, the smaller crowds
could be understood.

mients paid the festival by the
provincial government, the par-
ticipating agencies and busi-

was the banquet which paid
tribute to 13 local athletes who

course of 11 km. Winners of this
event were Dave Butler, Greg

TALKS REOPEN ON PLANNING COST

Continued from page Al
the RDCK is authorized to
assume under the Municipal

questioned whether it
would take six months to re-
solve the cost-sharing issue,
and said the ministry: had
eres to‘no further information
e. matter than was avail-
able to the board in the city and
RDCK correspondence files.
“There seems to be in our
minds an inequity here, and
“maybe it’s only in our minds,”
aid. “But let us talk about

tionally involved in it.”-
Deciding’ immediately to
hire a municipal planner before
scussing the’ problem would
lefeat the whole concept of
planning,” the mayor said.
Speaking in favor of imme-
diate approval of the motion,
Nelson director. John Neville

said it was “really time this .

board got down and allowed the
inning department to go

I think we're stalling our,
ow planning department from
daing just what we hired it to
da; Neville, also a member of
ths, planning committee, told
the board.

‘As for Castlegar 1 think
“ast year we already dealt with
this problem once. Certainly
they have had the chance to

come to the planning com-
mittee, and they've succeeded

‘in demoralizing the planning

director, which I don’t think
they had a right to do.”

The Nelson director point-
ed out that Castlegar repre-
sentatives last year pushed for
early formulation of planning
policies “and now Castlegar
seems to be wanting to stall the
selting of those policies.”

Neville drew sharp criti-
cism. from Moore with his
suggestions that the city was
already taking advantage of the
regional planning service.

The Castlegar director re-
minded him that the city funds
the regional planning function
“rather handsomely” and should

~ get “something back for the

money we're putting in."

“It is my understanding
that we've used the regional
district planner for the things
that pertain not only to the city
but to the region,” Moore told

Neville. “I think if you're sug:
gesting for a minute that we
extensively use the regional
planning department for detail-
ed municipal planning you are
making a very unfounded
charge.”

Neville challenged Moore's
statement that the RDCK could
not: undertake the municipal
planning function without let-

ters patent. amendment for -

which it would require the

city's agreement, saying Castle-
gar could not opt out of the
function without board appro-
val. 5 :

Asked . for clarification,
RDCK administrator Reid Hen-
derson pointed out the motion
under consideration called only
for the hiring of a planner to do
“municipal planning.

“I must reiterate that if
you, adopt by resolution a
philosophy that you're going to
involve the City of Castlegar
into a municipal planning func-
tion which we do not wish,
which we do not want to fund, I
can only caution you to be pre-
