Re: Clearing of Park Site at
Imperial & St. Michael Street

The Chairman of the Leisure Activities Cormittee
has requested that I bring this item to Council since a
Committee Meeting is not scheduled prior to the Council
Meeting. The park dedicated by Szafranski in his develop-
ment at Imperial and St. Michael was originally intended
to be used for tennis. The Committee has discussed this
park and feels that it would be inappropriate to suggest
the construction of tennis courts at this time. Neverthe-
less, it is apparent that some selective clearing of this
site will be necessary regardless of when the tennis courts
would be constructed. This clearing would best be done
prior to the completion of the housing development. Any
clearing, and burning if necessary, will be much more
Gifficult to do once people have moved into the development.

We have received an offer from Szafranski to do
the clearing for $3,850.00 with an additional contingency
allowance of $320.00 for additional work beyond removal of
the trees which are not marked to be saved. We also obtained
an approximate quotation from Millers Excavating for $2,450.00
plus a contingency of $340.00 for the same amount of work.
The above figures are not tenders and the prices
would have to be confirmed prior to award of the work.
However, I recommend that Council approve of the selective
clearing of this site at an approximate cost of $3,000.00
with the funds to be taken out of the Parks Development
Reserve.

Respectfully submitted,
