Three of the permits is sued this March were for new residential units — valued at a total of $155,000. However, the total number of permits is down so far this year — 59 compared to 67 in the first three months last year. As well, the value of the permits in the first three months has dropped. by near- ly $300,000 from last year — from $852,120 in 1984 to $567,050 this year. Trustee Rick Pongracz said “I just feel two months is not enough of a trial.” He said he's studied education com- mittee minutes from year and had found “nothing that can't be in the open.” Trustee Lovette Nichvolo- doff said the purpose of the trial run was to give the education committee time in July and August to deal with administrative matters con- cerned with opening the meetings, in anticipation of resuming open meetings in September. The original motion was finally amended to read that education meetings will con. tinue to remain open in Sep- tember if the trial period is “favorable.” overloading problem on a school bus.

The second overloaded bus was six students over its 60- student limit last month. However, Dascher said in an interview that some of the excess bus riders may now be walking and riding bicycles to school, thus eliminating the problem. “The first thing we'll have to do is get an accurate count of the busloads,” he said Tuesday. walk limits proposed that once “safe seating capacities had been reached,” students living closest to their schools would have to walk a maxi- mum of two kilometres for pupils in Kindergarten to Grade 3, and three kilome- tres for those in Grade 4 to 12. “We don't have walk limits in this district,” trustee Lin- da Krull, chairman of the transportation and safety Krull said bus drivers will do another count of students taking buses this fall to see if there is overcrowding. Policy on walk limits is “something we may have to deal with further down the road if busing does become further overcrowded.” Krull said the school district's 1985-86 bud- get doesn’t allow for buying new buses.

Perra said a quick survey of com- munity colleges has indicated that semester fees vary from $300 to $392 for the full-time University Transfer program. As a result of the survey and the information supplied by the Ministry of Education, Perra recommended a fee increase. Tuition fees for University Transfer will increase to $325 per semester from $275. Fees for Career Technology pro- grams under 960 hours a year will in crease to $375 per semester from $355, and fees for programs over 950 hours a year will increase to $400 per semester from $393.

The crew from BCTV was on campus for the official opening of the College Services Building and the dedication of Frank Beinder Way March 19. SPEAKING OF Frank Beinder Way, the sign which was erected at the dedication naming the road down to the college in honor of B.C.'’s “Mr. College”, has disappeared, The sign disappeared at about 11 p.m. March 19 — the same day it was erected. The sign has been reordered by the Department of Highways. “I imagine the original sign is in someone's private archives,” college board chairman Jack Colbert said. “I don't know why we need it. If I'm going to call I can call the city's number.” However, Ald. Albert Calderbank said it isn’t always that easy. “There can be problems,” he said, noting that if the call is made when city hall is closed, the operator won't be able to charge the call to the city. Calderbank also said there may be problems with city employees who may not know a particular alderman and so may not accept a collect call. Mayor Audrey Moore sa time “but I've never used it. collect. she's had a card for some She says she usually calls However, she said it doesn't matter to her if council wants the cards or not.
