DISCUSSION _ .... ~-
-2 -August 30 11965
COUNCILLOR TRENT-Council previously conSidered that the ated trusses :were good enough
for use· in any future building·. proj eet. such as· a new Works DeparJillnent
building. The trusses are worthc$36,000,00 and :feel that
Mr. De GE)er is pl:itaiping a lot of .steel for $1,700.00
COUNCILLOR ILLINGWORTH -F_eel th,;_t the steel in the old arena with a very high roof
MAYOR DAVIS :-
are not the type of trusses suitable for another building. Also do not
know the.presept.cpndition of the trusses; we have no innnediate use
for them, and therefore would be stacked at the site and possibly
remairi:.t:here for months. or years eventually becoming rusted and then
scrapped. Should' make a ·clean br.eak and get rid o:f it.
Do not know what type of building Councillor. Trent has in mind but
the trend to-day is for laminated wood rather than steel. Do not know
how·much fire damage they have received and therefore must agree
with Councillor Illingworth, Also mentioned that Councillor Trent
did not sign the report.of i;he Committee of the Whole now being
discussed. '
COUNCILLOR DAVIS:-I agreed previously that the steel trusses may well be used for other
.. building purposes but·; :following a thorough inspection q:f' the remains
now feel that the steel is not safe to u~~ in aeyother place.
COUNCILLOR WILLIAMSON:-Cannot compare new· steel with steel that has been in use for
·many years. ·Agree with Councillor Illingworth; we do. not know the
strain and stress this steel has been subject to. We would be held
responsible were we to use the old tru9ses and they colapsed or
something happened. ·
··MEW PATRICK~-Do not know-~bout the stress the old steel has had but now can see
no use in our stockpiling and handling all this steel. Feel we
should clear it out and start brand new.
The motion was then Carried.
t'i0R:ilE'rT:
wiLLIAMSON:
"Resolved that the meeting adjourn."
Carried.
• The meeting then adjourned.
