Bud Godderis.. Noting the “serious lack of park space in the city because of a lack of foresight in the past,” the parks and recreation committee chairmari last week said in his year-end report that the $27,500 was “a small amount of money when compared to the total capital budget of the city.” “The committee is just coming to grips with the question of park facilities and that there is a need for more parks in the community,” he said. "It is . obvious, for example, that we lack park space in the lower portion of South Castlegar and the Woodland Park area to name a few. The possibility of ( developing neighborhood parks such as the one located in the Oglow subdivision needs a hard look.” : 7 Godderis said Zucker- berg Island is “a natural site” for community. or regional park development and has historical roots: in the com- munity but the proposed construction of the Murphy’ Creek Dam “makes it unclear as to which direction we should take." Outlining the 1979 ac- complishments and recom. ‘ions of his i “are making such concrete commitments to the com- munity.” Reporting on matters considered as a result of completion of the city’s mas- ter plan for recreation, God- deris said the committee recommended the city con- tract from the Regional Dis-- trict of Central Kootenay for the delivery of services to ‘Castlegar and Areas I and J. "The city has endorsed this recommendation," he said. “Overall the present system is cumbersome, inef- ficient and ineffective.” . The possible joint use and development of recrea- tional facilities was the sub- ject of discussions between the city and the School District No. 9 board, he said. “It is evident that it is possible and it: would be Godderis reported equipment and fencing was installed at Cone.Hill Park. But he said the park still requires more equipment and recommended that next year’s budget pro- vides for the facility's com- pletion “and-~make it the good park it has the potential to’ be.” ‘i As budgeted for, the ~Small park on Ninth Avenue “ Br-o.04-Southand 11th Street.South were partially developed, he said, and grading for the Kiwanis soccer field, of which development “is well on its way," was completed. It was “a good move" ‘to spend money on a new roof and «other repairs for the Kin- naird Hall, he added. Also completed were al- terations at the senior citi- zens’ centre and work on the Rotary. Tennis courts, he reported. Noting the Lions Club upgrading program for Kin- .naird Park is “progressing well,” he said the city "can be thankful local service clubs for the city and the school board to develop facilities together,” the parks and fecreation chairman told council, "One specific possi- bility that should be looked at in future is the joint develop- ment of an indoor swimming facility." “It is important to deter- mine the facility costs for individual facilities provided, by the ‘sch ‘d and ‘the’ .recreation.,.department—be-,- - fore movirig into the free use of facilities provided, always bearing in mind what is in the best interest of the citizen taxpayers before any final decision is made.” The committee has sug- gested the Castlegar and District. Public Library be moved to the top of its priorities for indoor facility development, he reported. It has also proposed that if construction of a new library “becomes a reality” the pre- sent library facilities be considered for use as a youth centre, he said. Godderis said his com- Works and services activities highlighted The city's works and service department respond- ed to a total of 264 requests and inquiries this year, ac- cording to Ald. Gerald Rust. Rust, city council's works and service committee chair- man, told council in his 1979 report last week that the inquiries included 44 calls about street lighting prob- $5,500 tab for vandalism this year Vandalism has cost the city.an estimated $5,500 this year, Ald. Gerald Rust told city council last week. Rust, city council's works and services committee chair- man, noted the damage done on Gate Night and Halloween represented about $2,000 of .« the damage done by vandals in 1979. “Normally .vandalism in- volves street ;and ‘traffic signs, writing on public build- ings, fence damage and park tables,” he said. “Gate Night and Halloween night damage involved opening of 21 fire .hydrants, 10 street can lids destroyed and (damage to) 30 3.” About 90 per cent of the vandalism committed over the two nights occurred on Gate Night, he said, and $1,370.30 worth of the’ dam- age has already been re- covered through the courts. lems, 39 calls about drainage problems, 36 calls on sanding, plowing and snow removal, 18 on road oiling and grading, 17 calls concerning signs and 92 miscellaneous calls. Among problems dealth with by city works crews were the flooding of Merry Creek April 8 to 12, resulting from a 45-gallon drum plug- * ging the end of a culvert, which required 656 manhours ‘and a total cost of $6,672 to correct, the works and ser- vices chairman said. Other 1979 works and services highlights in Rust's report included the expendi- ture of $35,702 on snow plowing, removal and road “sanding, compared to $39,824 at the same time last year. . The city has purchased and stockpiled 3,000 yards of sand in preparation for this winter, the report said. Capital projects involv- ing paving or construction of new roads included a turning jane on Green Street North which required 37.50 metric tonnes of asphalt, the re- design of Milestone Road, which required 714.94 tonnes, paving of Ash Road which required -285.10 tonnes and the sealcoating of 10th Ave. South and 11th Street South, which required 291.5 tonnes ‘of asphalt. New equipment pur- chased included three half- ton pickup trucks, one roller and one tractor for parks and sidewalk snow removal, Rust said. mittee also favored building a new arena facility over ex- tensive repairs to the old arena and recommended con- struction of ‘an art and cultural centre as part of the ‘anal R ion Com- ect ltcucn a NEARING COMPLETION is work on the Kiwanis. project boside the Regional Recreation Complex. A:-Kiwanls spokesman “sponsored soccer field said the field has been seeded and should have a full growth of grass by Planning chairman's 1979 report: Controversary marks committee activities “Very busy, and also quite controversial.” That was how a report last week by Ald. ‘Albert Calderbank, city council's planning chairman, described the 1979 activities of his plex.- Also ded is Cc told council the use of the National Ex- hibition Centre as a site for development of a museum, he said. Z “Finally, while there is a great need for an indoor pool facility the cost for such a facility is beyond us at the present time,” Godderis said. “For that reason the develop- ment of a facility seems a long way down the line.” the city conducted six re- zoning hearings — for apart- ment buildings, commercial changes, a medical facility and a shopping centre — as well as “handling” 12 sub- divisions this year. y Committee activities in ‘the services area included work on the design at a new indistrial park and. com- pletion of street numbering For That Special Occasion and renaming which will be implemented in 1980, he said. Locating the three dif- ferent flood levels: proposed for the Murphy Creek Dam on the city map “has created quite a lot of public interest,” + the planning chairman said, and plans for a new road network have occupied con- siderable staff time. In addition, he said, the terms -of reference of the update of the community plan have been worked out and will go to tender. Re- plotting plans have also been completed “and public con- tact has been started,” he said. “A lot of work has been + said done on the downtown park- ing problem," Calderbank in his 1979 report. “Various solutions have been investigated, but the answer has still to be found.” He said the investigation of existing bylaws was an important part of committee and staff work, and he cited the city’s zoning, soil removal atid development cost bylaws as priorities., The committee met with Regional District of Central Koot lanning depart- spring. Yet to be installed at the field, ex; June, are fencing and sprinklers. activities also included two joint. meetings with repre- sentatives of Areas I and J and the city advisory plan- hing committee, he said, for discussion of items of mutual interest and concern to Cas- tlegar and its outlying com- munities. Calderbank said the ad- 2 pected to be ready for use in velopment of three apart- ment buildings, a restaurant, hotel extension and a shop- ping centre “has come to the attention of the planning de- partment through enquiries.” He recommended the committee give priority to the possible implementation and routes of an urban tran- visory also attended a number of sit system, of a light industrial park and re- in which their participation “helped a great deal."
