            Treatment plant



            The trusses have been delivered for the roof at the treatment plant. It was noted by Mayor Stoddard that the remaining portion of the roof is now leaking also. Mayor Stoddard asked Council if they wished to repair the entire roof with Metal roofing.

            It was moved by Councillor Atkinson and seconded by Councillor Quinlan that the entire roof be repaired at the same time with metal roofing and the work being done by public works staff. Motion carried unanimously.



            Heritage Hall Roof:

Tom McDonell contacted Mayor Stoddard asking if Council would help with the extra billing that was received from Nova Scotia Power during the installation of the roof at the Heritage Hall. He had paid the bill that was received to which he thought was the only one. A second large bill was received. Mayor Stoddard is trying to get into contact with NSP to get the details and breakdown of the bill, emails have been sent and phone calls both gone unanswered so far.

Mayor Stoddard will report to Council the findings at the next regular meeting of Council so they may be able to have more information to make a decision.
