the amount of $40,000.00 under the B.C. Hydro Beautification

The Public Works Committee considered the attached memorandum from the Project
Engineer regarding the cost of undergrounding the three phase power which runs
through Reeve Street Park.

The basic costs for placing the power lines underground was estimated to be
$100,000.00. At a Reeve Street Park planning workshop held on December 12,
1990, it was recommended that an additional $20,000.00 be added to the
$100,000.00 basic cost to accommodate future developments in the Reeve Street

Under the B.C. Hydro beautification project program, B.C. Hydro would
contribute $40,000.00 towards the $120,000.00 project if the grant application

is approved.
