2.  Public Input
 
Diane Jolly, Port Moody resident, spoke regarding resident input to the Inlet Park Redevelopment Feasibility Study options. She expressed concern that the information being presented to Council appointed committees for feedback is lengthy and may be difficult for committee members to assess considering it would be a major financial undertaking and have environmental impact to the park. She also expressed concern over the cost of the proposed options and additional studies that might be required. She noted that parking is already an issue in her neighborhood when events are occurring at Rock Point Park or Inlet Field. She suggested another review of the Parks and Recreation Masterplan is warranted before a decision is made on the redevelopment options.

Brent Hilpert, Port Moody resident, spoke to Item 4.5 Street, Traffic and Public Places Bylaw Amendment noting that the proposed changes were long overdue. He would like to see even greater restrictions on parking if further development and densification occurs, especially for secondary suites. He suggested a 3 hour limit on public parking anywhere in the city unless it is adjacent to your own property. He is concerned the proposed new definition of "adjacent" is ambiguous. He also suggested that the proposed changes apply to the north side of Alderside Road as well.

Cliff Van Alstyne, Port Moody resident, expressed his disappointment that a commemorative coin and stamp were not approved for the City's Centennial celebration by Federal government.

Moved, seconded and CARRIED
THAT the time for Public Input be extended.

Heritage week 2012 celebrates the story of energy and power in British Columbia - past, present and future.

They advised that a stone marker commemorating all residents of lOCO that served in the Military during war and peacetime will be unveiled in a private ceremony. The public will have access to the stone marker starting Monday, February 27,2012 at the lOCO United Church located at 1790 lOCO Road.
