Item #1 -Review of April 19th Meeting
(a) Aurora Custom signs have been advised that the Industrial signs require the
address and telephone numbers to be outlined in white and they have agreed
to do this immediately.
(b) Extension of Engelhard Drive over the C.N.R. to Edward Street complete with
required safety signal and water line.
As there will be no subsidy monies available for this work, the Committee
would request that Council authorize Reid & Associates to prepare Tenders for
this work immediately and the necessary funds be taken from the water reserve
account and the Industrial Park account.

the cost of such cul de sac to be $250.00 per linear foot or $95,000.00 for

out of the market and decided not to proceed with this work at this time.

a cost sharing and land sharing for this access. The Chairman has since received
