DELEGATIONS:

Mayor Campbell introduced Mrs. D. Fridge, property owner of 1663
Coquitlam Avenue, to speak on behalf of the residents of the 1600 and
1700 Blocks Coquitlam Avenue regarding the covering of the drainage
ditch.

Discussion then ensued and Alderman Mabbett advised the work could
be done through the Local Improvement Program. Alderman Ranger suggested
the Public Works Committee look into the possibility of putting in curbs
and gutters at the same time as the closure of the drainage ditch.
-Alderman Thompson inquired if the residents were aware that the Local
Improvement Program is a cost sharing program and the residents replied
they realized this, but felt they should not have to pay the full amount
as part of the water draining into this ditch comes from as far away as
Prairie Avenue. The Chief Administrative Officer, Mr. L.D. Pollock,
replied the residents would pay for the standard size of pipe on the
Local Improvement Program and if a larger one wes required to service a
greater area the City would absorb the difference in cost.
