1. Amendment to October 28, 1997 Regular Council Minutes File: 5053
In a memorandum dated November 10, 1997, the City Clerk referred to the Regular Council meeting on October 28, 1997, when Council dealt with a Policy Report entitled Planning Principles and Concept Plan for Mole Hill under Unfinished Business. There were a number of resolutions passed that day including the following resolution from Councillor Price:
"THAT Appendix D be amended by reducing the number of units in the lease option by four houses and adding them to the rental option."
Appendix D in the Policy Report refers to the High Return Option. In fact Councillor Price was referring to the Staff Option which is shown on Appendix B, Page 3 of 3. Accordingly, the City Clerk recommended the foregoing resolution from Councillor Price be amended by deleting the letter "D" and replacing it with "B, Page 3 of 3":

MOVED by Cllr. Clarke,
A.THAT Council approve the guiding principles for a City sponsorship program set out in this report in the form of Definition, Purpose and Policy statements, noting that outright gifts/donations to the City, whether from corporations or individuals, fall outside of the sponsorship program proposed in this report.

FURTHER THAT staff be instructed to report back on the details of each sponsorship/revenue initiative for approval to proceed, noting that any expansion of the basic sponsorship program to encompass naming facilities or equipment, event sponsorships or capital works will be based on the specifics of the proposal, and any experience gained under the basic program, and reported to Council for approval as a separate initiative.

2. Port Legislation - Bill C-9 (Canada Marine Act)
November 12, 1997 File: 8109
MOVED by Cllr. Puil,
A. THAT the Mayor be requested to write to the Minister of Transport and the Standing Committee on Transport to submit Council’s concerns about bill C-9 set out in 1) to 7) below and request the Bill be amended to meet these concerns:
1) Council urge the Federal Government to provide a legislative framework for national ports that is flexible and robust. Section 28(2)(b) should be amended to broaden the range of supplementary activities open to the Port; if there is a need to limit the activities at port authorities, then those limitations can be contained the Letters patent which are much more easily adjusted to local and changing circumstance.
2) Council advise the Federal Government that a direct financial return on federal land through a charge on gross revenues is inappropriate, given the financial constraints under which the ports will operate, the competitive environment, and the absence of an obligation to pay full taxes to municipalities, and recommend that payment be in the form of a dividend based on net revenue.
3) Council request that the Minister include a representative from the City of Vancouver in any group advising on the development of letters patent and the implementation of the legislation in the Port of Vancouver.
4) Council urge the Federal Government to provide for a director appointed by the City of Vancouver and a director appointed by the other municipalities.
5) Council urge the Federal Government to relax the criteria for directors in Section 15 to provide for a broader range of expertise on the Board.

Port Legislation - Bill C-9 (Canada Marine Act)
November 12, 1997 (cont’d)
6) Council urge the Federal Government to ensure that the legislation sets high standards for the avoidance of a real or perceived conflict of interest by the amendment of Section 16 to exclude stakeholder groups from participation on the Board.
7) Council urge the Federal Government to amend the legislation to enable port authorities to enter into binding land use agreements with municipalities, subject to an override by the Governor-in-Council, and to permit broader land uses within the Port, so long as they comply with municipal zoning or joint port-municipal land use agreements.
B. The Mayor be requested to write to the responsible Ministers to urge the Federal Government that the Municipal Grants Act be amended to update the grants-ln-lieu process to provide for year by year finalization of grants and an appeal mechanism to ensure certainty for both municipalities and ports.
