Head groundskeeper wage review: Council agreed to a wage raise of $1.00 per hour effective immediately.
Bruce to look into hiring some casual workers landscaping and maintenance work around the complex. This will help grounds keeping staff concentrate on current projects around the common areas. The students will do work such as landscaping, painting, weeding, and moving plants. Or, work as needed. Three students will be hired and paid $8.00 per hour.
Concerns were brought forward regarding the locks on backyard gates supposedly put there by Terasen gas to allow access to meter reading. Owners see this as a safety hazard, not being able to use as an exit in case of emergency. Bruce will investigate whether the locks can be removed allowing owners to use their own locks.
