ITEM 1

Re: Purchase of Van for Pools

. The 1978 Budget includes an item of $6,000.00 for a
van for the Pools Department. Quotations have been received
according to the attached recap.

Tne lowest quotation which completely meets our
specifications is from Metro Motors for a total cost including
tax of $6,351.87. An alternate was received from Westminster
Chev-Olds Limited for a vehicle from stock which meets our
specifications except for colour. This vehicle is in white
rather than Yukon Yellow and is available for $6,115.66 including
tax.

Since the immediate availability of the alternate will
Save us about $800.00 in rental costs and since the price is also
the lowest received, the Committee recommends that we purchase the
3/4 ton Chevy Van from Westminster Chev-Olds Limited for a purchase
price of $6,115.66 including tax.

ITEM IT
Re: Proposed Road Cancellation for

‘Property on Prairie Avenue,
Toronto Street & Stratford Street

; Council on May 15th, 1978 referred to the Public Works
Committee the question of road cancellation for the proposed
subdivision north of Prairie Avenue at Toronto Street.

The Public Works Committee concurs with the recommend-
ations of the Planning and Zoning Committee to cancel the road
allowances for Salisbury Avenue and for Stratford Street and to
extend instead Oriole Avenue to connect up with Toronto Street.
The Committee also requested that Prairie Avenue be completed as
part of the off-site services for this development.
