Your Company Name - June 10,2014 Regular Council

Everyone Loves A Parade! For the second year in a row, the City is hosting a community parade that is a celebration of the creativity and community spirit that exists within Port Moody.
Last year's Centennial Parade provided a showcase for arts and culture in all of its amazing and unique formats and we are inviting everyone to join us again as we highlight why we are as known as the City of the Arts.
Music and bands, dancing, dramatic performance, bright and bold float decorations, hand-crafted costumes....there is something for everyone.
Please join us on Saturday, June 21 with the parade kick off at 11am. Further details can be found on the City's website at portmoody.ca/parade.

2. Public Input
David Ritcey, Port Moody, noted that the issue of maximum building height falls under the issue of monster homes throughout various Port Moody neighbourhoods. Mr. Ritcey noted that he would like to see revisions to the zoning bylaw that would not only change the allowable size limit, but would also address issues of allowing duplexes and triplexes, or subdivision of larger lots. Mr. Ritcey noted that large houses with multiple suites burden infrastructure no less than two modest single family homes.
Sandy Liles, Port Moody, noted that the large homes in the Jacobs Road area have destroyed the views of existing homes in the area. Inlet views became views of walls of huge houses, which has a significant impact on the lives of residents. Ms. Liles requested that Council examine the issue of oversized houses, noting that they not only block views, but also block sunlight, and that where gardens used to grow, there is now only shadows of huge houses. Ms. Liles urged Council to discuss and address this issue.
Barbara Junker, Port Moody, noted that she would like Council to address the issue of monster homes that overshadow existing homes. Ms. Junker urged Council to preserve the neighbourhood feel.
Chris Carter, Port Moody, noted that large houses on small properties do not fit in with the landscape and urged Council to review the zoning bylaw.
Maxine Wilson, Coquitlam, spoke in support of Community Volunteer Services for Seniors, noting that the program has volunteers helping each other instead of relying on social services. Ms. Wilson noted the positive outcomes of the program and urged Council to support it.

Volunteers help isolated and/or homebound seniors with grocery shopping, home visits, telephone calls, etc. Ms. Gordon noted that the organization currently serves 20 clients in Port Moody, and is seeking to expand the client and volunteer base in Port Moody, as well as to add board members from Port Moody. Ms. Gordon also provided information on their current challenges, such as being one of 31 non-profit groups to lose funding as part of a recent change in provincial government funding.
