ITEM I

Re: Gate at Paula Place

Access by unauthorized vehicles into the gravel pit area
at the south end of Mary Hill has always been a problem for
residents of Paula Place. ‘For some time the School Board has
been attempting to keep vehicles out by use of a chain across
the end of Paula Place where temporary. road access to Hazel
Trembath School is provided. wuiuivz anately, it has not been
possible to keep the chain in place breause it is being cut by
those wishing to have access to the gravel pit. The School
Board is no longer prepared to replace the chain.

We have considered the possibility of installing a steel
gate with a protected lock which would be much more effective
in preventing unauthorized access. The cost of construction
and installation of such a gate is approximately $1,000. The
School Board is quite prepared to continue to lock and unlock
the gate as necessary for access to the school if we provide
the gate. However, they will not provide the gate themselves
since the problem of access is really a City problem.

The Committee felt that it would be in the interest of the
City to install the gate. The Committee recommends that the
gate be installed and the necessary cost be taken From the
unallocated funds in the Public Works Budget.
