Accordingly, unless the GVRD Board received notice to the contrary from a Municipal Council, GVRD will commence to prepare the 1985 budget for the Electoral Area 'B' planning on the premise that all the municipalities will opt out of cost sharing for that function. May I remind each of you that each Municipal Council must formally opt out of this function by resolution by October 1984, otherwise the municipality will be considered to desire to participate in the cost.
