Re: Neighbourhood Watch Programme

I have been informed that a Federal Government he .pproved funding in

the amount of $10,267. for a Neighbourhood Watch 1 cogrammé under the

Summer Job Corp Programme. The Programme is commonly known as "Operation
Identification and consists of engraving personal property to enable
identification in case of theft and also it will involve engraving

certain merchandise at the time of sale as a customer service. The Programme
has been organized with the co-operation and full endorsement of the local

R.C.M.P,

The Federal participation covers all of the staff costs and certain employee
benefits, however, it does not cover transportation costs. In this

regard, the organizers have obtained a car from Metro Motors, free of
charge, and the two Municipalities have been asked to provide the cost

of gasoline and oil. This is expected to amount to approximately $200.

(Our share will only amount to approximately $65.)

These expenses can be covered under Crime Prevention in the R.C.M.P. Budget.

I expect that the organizers will be issuing publicity shortly covering the
operation of the Programme and Council may wish to pass a resolution adding
their endorsement to the Project and approving our share of the expense.
