Deputy Mayor, Lloyd Lee declared conflict of interest on the Ball Outdoor Sales
invoice of which he is associated.

Councillor Mike Beattie declared conflict of interest on the proposed Zoning By-
law Amendment #2000-73 as he is currently the owner of the property in question.

Lynda Hendrickson and Lawrence Villalta attended regarding a 10 foot right-of-
way for a private road across Mr. Villalta's property. Council suggested the
right-of-way be 20 feet and Mr. Villalta said he would give it some
consideration.

Robin Mercer attended to discuss her grass cutting and garbage pick-up contract
specifically the number of complaints she is receiving and which she feels are
unwarranted. Some concerns were expressed to her and she was advised to carry
on as she was doing and that concern received at the office would be forwarded
to her

Robert Marleau, President of Bolton's Landing and two of his legal Counsel,
attended to discuss the report provided by the Public Works Manager regarding
the roads within the subdivision. Tim Wilkin, the municipal counsel, attended
as well. Mr. Marleau agreed with the road report but advised they did not have
the finances to complete the work. The Local Improvement Act was discussed and
the question was raised as to whether or not the road had to be dedicated to the
municipality and become unassumed public roads or not dedicated and remain
private roads. Both legal counsels agreed to investigate both issues and meet
with Council again.

Councillor Mike Beattie declared conflict of interest and left the Council
Chambers prior to the following discussion.

not to be used as client housing. No other objections were received.
