1. BUILDING REPAIRS
A report dated June 29, 2009, from Inspector G. Nelson, was reviewed, which indicated the interlocking brick at the front of the Police facility was in dire need of replacement due to their breaking, chipping and heaving. He reported that their current condition, if left unaddressed, could pose a risk to health and safety of staff and visitors to the facility.
Subsequently, quotations were received for the replacement of the interlocking brick with poured concrete, and staff recommended the quotation of R.L. Lancaster Construction Ltd., at a price of $18,500, plus GST, be accepted. Inspector Nelson also requested the Board approve the transfer of the funds from a reserve account to a minor capital account in order to fund the project.
