                                           Dept. File No. 1254


   TO:       Vancouver City Council

   FROM:     City Clerk

   SUBJECT:  Councillor Price:  Attendance at Making Cities
             Livable Conference in Freiburg-im-Breisgau, Germany

   RECOMMENDATION

        THAT Council authorize Councillor  Price's attendance at the Making
        Cities Livable  Conference in  Freiburg-im-Breisgau, Germany, at  a
        cost of $1,781 (Cdn).


   CITY MANAGER'S COMMENTS

        The City Manager RECOMMENDS approval of the foregoing.


   COUNCIL POLICY

   Council's  Travel  Policy,  approved  July 31,  1992,  requires  Council
   approval for travel outside North America.


   PURPOSE

   This report  requests Council  approval for  Councillor Gordon  Price to
   attend the 17th  International Conference  on Making  Cities Livable  in
   Freiburg-im-Breisgau, Germany, September 5-9, 1995.


   DISCUSSION

   Councillor  Price will  be on  vacation in  Europe during  the month  of
   September this year.  He would like to take advantage of the opportunity
   this presents to participate in the IMCL Conference which has  a special
   focus on New Urban Neighbourhoods (see  information attached as Appendix
   A).   His European travel base  will be Paris; therefore,  he will incur
   the cost  of travel by  train from  Paris to Freiburg-im-Breisgau.   The
   topic of the  Conference would be  beneficial to  the Councillor in  his
   role  as  Chair   of  Council's  Standing  Committee   on  Planning  and
   Environment.
   The cost  of attendance at the Conference is estimated at $1,781, broken
   down as follows:

        Registration                     $  475.00  (before August 1, 1995)
        Accommodation                       760.00  ($152.00 x 5)          
        Per Diem                            390.00  (6 days x $65.00)      
        Train Trips                         156.00  (x 2 - second class)   
                                                                           

                                         $1,781.00                         
                                                                           


   The funds are available in Council's Travel Account.
