1. Dressing Foun Coastivet jon Cedar Dive Park:

At the cegular meeting of February the 14th my report cantained a recomsendation
thot the bids received for the construction of dressing rooms at Cedar Prive Park be re-
jected and thar the City underrake construction of this factlity using sub-trades with the
Engincering Deparctuent comordinating the construccion,

At the time Alderran Theupson requested that the mitter be deferred and that che

Jow bidder be contacted Lo ceo if we: could aubait a revised price based on certain revisions
to the baste building. The City Inginecr contacted Arlen Construction and the reviced Lid
totals $28,620.09, To accomplish this figure however aonumber of deletions were made in
the bid and these deleciuns stiil have to be financed by the City over and above the
$25,000.60 fiyure, passibly out of the Parks Maintenance Budget. The City Engineer's
recommendation is that the tvo contractors who tendered on this project be advised that

both tenders are rejected and that the project be undertaken by the Engincering Departrent.

2. Centennial Pool Faclosure:

Attached is a copy of an agreement between Ron Davies and Associates Limited
and the City. A copy of this apreesent hes been forwarded to Mr. Davies for signature
by his Conpeny and 1 expect this wlll be returned prior to the meeting of Council on
Monday night.

Completion of this agreenent will authorize the Ynginecer to proceed with pre-

paration of final drawings and the calling of tenders. In this regard please note that
‘this phase of the work will amount to $6,800.00, therufore, all aspects of the project
should be discussed before a resolution is passed authorizing the signing of this agree-
“ment. We are still bound by a completion date of. May 3lst, 1972 in order to obtain

Federal participation en this project.

The chic inspector has had numerous requeste for permission to construct

canopies over the City eidewalk in the downtown business section, Presumably this con-

winsyar:

a

struction would enhance the mili uffece of the main street. Reid's Hardware has requested

stots

Covacil's consideration of this in view of the fact that they are at a stage in their
building construstion that they could add a canopy.

Although overhana is permittcd in certain sign structures, canopies attached
to buiddings are not permitted under our Building By-law and there is some question as
to the legality of the City permitting construction over the strect.

This question should be referred to the Building and Protection Conmittec,

however, 1 mention it at this time in order that che Committee may benefit from the

Council's coments and whether or not they feel the subject should be pursued.
