1.1 Introduction of Art at Council
Verbal Report: Mayor Clay / File: 7705-01
This year the Port Moody Arts Centre had their first-ever Visual Artist in Residence, an artist by the name of Shari Pratt, based in their 3D Gallery from August 23rd to November 10th. Shari’s goal during her residency was to produce a painting-based series entitled Cotton Candy Friends, which used imagery from social networking sites creating a collection of new friends manufactured through paintings. Shari must have been very inspired since she produced 15 large pieces in an 11 week period. Tonight’s piece, a mixed media acrylic, is entitled Full of Wonder. This piece along with many others will be on display in the Main Gallery of the Arts Centre from November 15th to December 23rd. Everyone is welcome to attend the Opening Reception this Thursday, November 15th from 6 to 8pm. For more information check out www.pomoarts.ca. Historical Highlight – Centennial 2013 1.2 Verbal Report: Mayor Clay
File 1485-015
The Chisholm radio and television product line was a family-owned and operated business. Chisholm Industries Ltd. manufactured radios, Hi-Fi sets, TVs and assorted electronic equipment.
In November 1950 Edward Chisholm purchased 23 acres of land in Port Moody. The Port Moody facility was a huge state-of-the-art complex with a floor area of 56,000 square feet. This new location had excellent transportation access for road, water and rail. The Port Moody plant construction started in 1954 and was completed in 1955.
Edward Chisholm did his best to produce and sell a high quality product. His plant went beyond that of most of his competitors. All metal chassis were cadmium plated before components were installed. The wooden cabinets were marketed as having the famous 'Moisture Barrier System'. This was a technique that involved heating the cabinet wood materials to reduce the moisture content before construction. Sales literature of the time claimed that this process reduced the possibility of cabinets warping in the 'west coast damp climate'.
The Chisholm product-line was sold in many furniture retail outlets. These included Eatons, Hudsons Bay, Sears, Woodwards, Wosks, and many smaller family-owned furniture businesses. For the most part however, the Chisholm product was sold under the 'Chisholm' brand-name. In the early 1960's, colour television was becoming popular and the marketplace was very competitive. As Edward Chisholm was nearing retirement age and the cost of re-tooling for manufacturing colour television sets was enormous, he elected to close the business and retire.
2. Public Input Wendy Swallwell, Port Moody, advised that her students were happy to have had the opportunity to address Council and are eagerly following the process of their request. She commented that she appreciates that the Moody Centre Community Association request is being referred to Environmental Protection Committee and requested clarification on the next steps. She requested clarification relative to the Advisory Design Panel, the appointment process for the Panel, and the effect this Panel will have on the Land Use Committee. She expressed concern with special interest groups being represented in the OCP, and suggested organizing a meeting between Council and the residents of Moody Centre. Peter Ditchfield, Office Manager, Port Moody Police Department, and Tabitha McLoughlin, Coquitlam Farmers Market, requested Council support for a community garden proposed at the Public Safety Building. They noted that the garden is part of the strategic plan to make the Port Moody Police Department more environmentally friendly, and enhance the ability to interact with seniors and youth. They requested $4,000 for water access. Ms. McLoughlin advised that some funding had been secured and that a paid position had been created to help coordinate the project and host workshops for new gardeners. She advised that the Chief Constable received approval from the Police Board and Union and that Council approval is required. If approved by Council, the next steps would include a community announcement, creation of a Community Garden Committee, installation of underground services and site infrastructure, and implementation of a workshop schedule. Moved, seconded and CARRIED
THAT the Public Input period be extended.
Hazel Mason, Port Moody, spoke regarding the Moody Centre Community Association, invasive species recommendation, and questioned the time frame of implementing changes. She expressed disappointment with the draft OCP item being considered at an offsite location with no television or webstreaming available. Greg Cossey, Port Moody, spoke to the invasive species items on the agenda. He advised of his history in dealing with invasive species and offered his advice and assistance. He urged Council to consider a bylaw to ban invasive species planting, encourage landscapers to plant native, non-invasive plants, and encourage empty lot owners to keep their lots clean. Peter Dasniers, Port Moody, questioned the need for a large scale development at the old Barnet Hotel/Andres site if in the end a 3rd skytrain station is not received. He suggested waiting to plan for such development after the skytrain stations have been finalized. David Spence, Port Moody, spoke to the Centennial flag approved at the Committee of the Whole meeting and questioned its size and what the back would look like. He also provided Council with some further history on Chisholm Industries Ltd. Ann Hulbert, Port Moody, asked when the CPR Christmas Train would be arriving and if staff had planned for food carts at the event. Matt, Port Moody, questioned when the amendment to Street, Traffic and Public Places bylaw relative to RV parking would be approved. Delegation Application dated October 25, 2012 / File: 0230-01 Jerome Bouvier, POCOMO Youth Services Society, provided an update on the activities of the Society, highlighted current trends and explained how Port Moody can potentially contribute to the Society. He advised of a need for food and clothing. He invited Council to do a ride-along one night so that they can speak with the youth and see and hear the issues first hand. He advised that he will be bringing a formal request to Council in the near future. 3.2 Tri-Cities Homelessness & Housing Task Group Delegation Application dated October 29, 2012 / File: 0375-20-29 Sandy Burpee, representing the Tri-Cities Homelessness and Housing Task Group, requested that Council incorporate policies in the updated OCP to provide incentives for the creation of affordable housing in Evergreen Line-oriented developments, and that Council apply pressure on re-developments of existing lower-cost rental housing. He requested that Council take advantage of the opportunity for rental/low cost housing development near transit for those who rely on transit, that an affordable housing partnership be established with developers, that a density bonusing policy be created and that an affordable housing reserve fund be created.
