9 336 AN OTlER CO- BUSINESS Councillor Jones stated that as he was now leaving the Council, he would like to make one or two points in regard to what he had learned and felt should be a concern of Council in the incoming year. 1. In regard to the matter of additional library facilities he had suggested a reference library in the Whalley area. However, he stated that the Executive of the Library Board feels that Kennedy Heights was in need of a Library, and that the Municipality of Delta might be interested in a joint building in this area. Moved by Councillor Jones That the Council consider a joint meeting with Delta on this mtter in RES.NO.354M RES.NO.355M 2. Councillor Jones felt that the Council khould have a feasibility study made on cost sharing of Parks and school grounds between the Council and the School Board under one Department. He feels that economies could result, particularly in the maintenance on these properties... Moved by Councillor Jones That the Council consider this mtter in In regard to Personnel and Welfare CoIrunittees, of which Councillor Jones was a member, he stated that he was quite unhappy. No meetings of the mul Welfare Committee were held in the two years he was on the Codttee, and the Chairman was the only one aware of the actiiiities of this Department. In regard to Personnel meetings, these were called at the convenience of the Chairman, and all members of the Committee were unable to attend. In regard to the Grievance Committee he feels that they should not meet during the daytime, This increases the number of grievances and costs considerably with the employees concerned attending the meeting during regular working hours. 4. In closing he stated that he enjoyed his work on the Council very much, and extended his best wishes to the incoming Council. RES.NO.356M Monday, January 4th, at 11:OO a.m. That the Council do now adjourn to The meeting adjourned at 5:20 p.m.
