CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
ENQUIRIES AND OTHER MATTERS
1. Poster Removal off City Property (File 3751)
Councillor Puil referred to a continuing problem with the number of posters taped on lamp posts throughout the City and the cost of removing them. He requested staff report back in September on how the City can regulate postering, such as charging organizations for the removal costs, cancelling business licenses or not giving civic grants to organizations which use lighting poles for advertizing.
The City Engineer provided information on what steps staff are taking currently with the issue of postering on City property.
The City Manager agreed to provide the requested report.
2. Lack of Signage (File 5762)
Councillor Price expressed concern with the lack of, or inadequate signage advising of closure of paths while construction is underway. He referenced the pedestrian underpass at Denman and Alberni as a recent example and requested the City Engineer to accompany him to see what his concerns are.
The City Engineer agreed to the request.
3. Military Fly-Over at Molson Indy (File 4205)
Councillor Price referred to public complaints following the military fly-over at the Molson Indy. He suggested the City indicate to the Molson Indy organizers of the need to notify residents of such events.
Councillor Louis noted similar low-level military fly-overs during past Molson Indy's and the lack of response by Molson Indy organizers to public complaints over those. He requested the Mayor contact the organizers and elicit from them an assurance that there will be no further low level fly-overs as part of the Molson Indy.
4. Noise Concerns with the Use of Motorcycles (File 3755)
Councillor Price advised of the continuing problem with noisy motorcycles, particularly in the downtown. He requested the Mayor request the new Chief of Police add to his list of improvements to the quality of life in Vancouver, the issue of whether the Police Department can get control of excessively noisy motorcycles.
The Mayor agreed to the request.
The Council recessed at 4:15 p.m., and
reconvened "In Camera" in the Mayor's Office.* * * * *
