July 8,2014 Regular Council
1.1 Introduction of Art at Council Verbal Report: Mayor Clay File: 7705-01 The 2014 Tri-Cities Got Talent competition took place this past Canada Day long weekend during Golden Spike Days. Among the participants was newcomer Elizabeth Irving in her very first competition. There were a lot of amazing performances and the top prize went to Elizabeth. She is 10 years old and going into grade 6 in September. Elizabeth also attends Lindbjerg Academy of Performing Arts where she has studied voice, musical theatre and dance for the past 3 years. This year Elizabeth played the lead role in Lindbjerg's presentation of the Off Broadway musical Dear Edwina, and in June was awarded the Triple Threat Youth Student of the Year. Elizabeth is the youngest of three children and the only girl. Perhaps this is why such a tiny young lady developed such a big voice! From a very young age, she'd always put a twist on speaking through song and gave a musical voice to her dolls. The Disney musical classics have inspired her immensely and after an IL Dive concert this spring, she gained an appreciation for some of the classics too. Singing and acting are Elizabeth's passions! 2. Public Input Chris Carter, Port Moody, spoke in opposition to having pay parking at Rocky Point Park, noting that enforcement would be difficult to manage and revenue will be insufficient to cover expenses for this program. Mr. Carter noted that he would like to see stricter enforcement of existing time limits. Julia Cato, Port Moody, spoke in opposition to having pay parking, noting that free parking for Port Moody residents would be unfair to residents in surrounding municipalities who use the park with their Port Moody resident families. Douglas Dunham, Coquitlam, spoke in opposition to having pay parking at Rocky Point Park, noting that if pay parking was instituted, he would take transit to Rocky Point Park rather than drive, and that many people may be dissuaded from driving to the park. Geoff Scott, Port Moody, thanked Council and staff for their assistance with the Tri-Cities Community Television Society's business plan, and announced that he has received financial support from Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam for his proposed equipment upgrade. Mr. Scott noted that he is available to answer questions from Council. 3.1 Recognition of Recreation Staff
Verbal Report: Mayor Clay File: 0290-02
Mayor Clay gave the following verbal report: On Friday, February 11th at approximately 1:15pm, a pickleball player went into cardiac arrest and collapsed in the gymnasium of the Recreation Complex. 911 was called and three recreation staff members (Karen Gray, Deanna Haddon and Joanne Roemer) immediately provided first aid, using an Automated External Defibrillator, artificial respirations, performing CPR and monitoring vital signs, until the firefighters arrived. The patient's pulse and respiration were eventually restored and the patient was transported by ambulance to the Royal Columbian Hospital. BC Ambulance staff stated that the medical incident was "perfectly handled" by the recreation staff and firefighters. Thanks to the quick actions of these staff members, the pickleball player has recovered and is back to regular activity. It is with great pride that I recognize Karen Gray, Deanna Haddon, and Joanne Roemer for their quick actions and skilled response to a medical emergency at the Recreation Complex. Mayor Clay presented awards to Karen Gray, Deanna Haddon, and Joanne Roemer. Mr. Edward Salvail, the patron who experienced the medical emergency, was in attendance and thanked the three staff members for saving his life, recognizing them as guardian angels, without whom he would not be alive today. Mr. Salvail also presented the City with funds to purchase an additional Automated External Defibrillator. Mr. Salvail's daughter, Michelle Salvail, also expressed her gratitude for staff's quick action. Delegation Application: Robert Simons, Port Moody Foundation, dated June 24, 2014 / File: 0230-20-04
