THAT the City of New Westminster, in conjunction with New Westminster School District 40, seek a meeting with the Minister of Education to discuss the separation of the New Westminster Secondary School site from the construction of the Saint Mary’s site and the Robson site, to allow for more thoughtful discussion and negotiation between the City and School District 40 officials with respect to the location of the secondary school on the existing secondary school site/city property;

THAT School District 40 be requested to initiate a joint public consultation process regarding options for future uses of land on the cemetery site;

THAT technical work on all secondary school site options will continue by staff and that these options be brought forward for Council review;
AND THAT City staff meet with School District 40 staff to review the options that may be considered by both parties, regarding the secondary school site with a view to reaching consensus.

THAT the City is prepared to participate in public consultation once the City and the School District 40 agree on feasible site plan options that can be taken to a public consultation process.
