Chip Seal Treatments - Suitability for resurfacing 29th Ave. S.
Relatively low cost alternative pavement solution to hot mix asphalt paving under certain conditions. This treatment is ideally suited to 29th Ave. S (as well as 27th Ave. S.) Unfortunately there are no contractors in Cranbrook who provide this type of paving.
2013 Road Program
Phase 3 work on 14th Ave. S. has been tendered and construction start planned for mid June.
Canada Day Costs
Staff have determined that the costs for a basic Canada Day celebration will cost $12150
Canada Day costs are $7000 over the money the City has for the event. Council agreed that perhaps a spared down Canada Day celebration was something the City should consider. The event could possibly be something like an event in Rotary Park with live entertainment and cake but no fireworks.

A motion was put forward to delay the destruction of the building until June 21 for the group to come forward to make a presentation to the City Council.
