1.2 Historical Highlight - 2013 Centennial
Verbal Report: Mayor Clay / File: 1485-015
In Port Moody’s early history, the lumber industry was the mainstay of its survival and growth. After the turn of the 20th century, other industries, like oil refining were added so that employment opportunities increased steadily. The Imperial Oil Company which in 1917 bought the land on the north shore that became known as Ioco is fairly well known today. It was almost 10 years prior to that, on September 9, 1908, that The British Columbia Refining Company Ltd. was incorporated and situated the first refinery on Port Moody’s south shore at the old CPR station site. In fact, the refinery used the original CPR station as a waterfront office. Mr. J. A. Cunningham was its manager and the company employed 25 Europeans at its start.
The plant was built on the hillside. Approaching it from the inlet, the specially built tankers tied up at the wharf, and the barrels were rolled across the railroad tracks to shipping sheds standing on a platform. A powerhouse directed the crude oil through its various refining stages to the largest steel tanks arranged in terraces on the embankment.
One year later, the tanker Colonel E. L. Drake brought the first shipment of 25,000 barrels of crude oil from San Francisco to the refinery. After a fire destroyed some of the distillate tanks and an amount of oil and asphalt at the refinery, the company built extensive additions to its storage facilities and a new wharf. Every month, a cargo of 25,000 barrels of crude oil arrived from California, most of which was processed at the plant, while some was sold as heavy fuel
2. Public Input
Dan McDonald, Port Moody, advised he wished to address the issue of PCT expansion.
Councillor Dilworth declared a conflict of interest in that PCT is her employer, and left the meeting at 7:47pm.
Mr. McDonald continued by advising of his concerns that the height of the proposed PCT building will impact the sight lines, views and property values for his residence and many others in the area. He also expressed the concern that the images produced by PCT to illustrate the buildings do not accurately reflect what the actual height will be. He noted that PCT plans to dig the channel deeper which would allow larger and/or more ships which could affect pleasure boaters and would also impact views from the College Park area. He indicated he would like to know what can be done about this and how much additional tax revenue this expansion would bring to the city.
Councillor Dilworth returned to the meeting at 7:56pm.
Demir Dugandzic, owner of Burrard Public House, spoke regarding his application to extend the hours on his liquor license advising that he would like to open at 9:00am every day. He requested that the city make the decision to opt out of the public consultation. He advised that their intention for early Sunday opening is for particular sporting events.
David Spence, Port Moody, spoke regarding the Council meeting schedule, noting that 2013 is the Centennial year, and questioned why the schedule did not show the special council meeting proposed by the Centennial Steering Committee to be held April 7th. He also spoke regarding the Heritage Canada Legacy Fund grant submission inquiring who the applicant is. He noted that the application in the agenda package is not fully completed. He also expressed concern that the historical identity of the name Appleyard Residence, which is how it is registered in the Canadian register of heritage sites, may be lost given the description of the house as Centennial / Appleyard House.
Moved, seconded and CARRIED
THAT the public input period be extended beyond 15 minutes.
Jennifer Warner, Port Moody, inquired when she could have input about where the Appleyard House will be located on the site.
The Director of Development advised that that would be a decision to be made by Council in the spring once the results of the grant application are known.

David Spence, Port Moody, spoke regarding the flag pole item.
Brent Hilpert, Port Moody, spoke regarding the off-site meeting discussion advising that he feels the off-site meetings are inconvenient. Regarding the public meeting related to the recent shooting he suggested that the comment at the meeting that no innocent people were injured implied that those who were shot were guilty.
Robert Simons, Port Moody, suggested that the public hearing which was set for October 9th should be in the usual Council meeting place of City Hall rather than at a community centre as the City Hall location would be more convenient given the location of the properties that are the subject of the hearing
