Brenda Graham, 10 Beddingfield Street, inquired about what the process is for a review of the existing setbacks and building heights on redeveloped Ioco Road homes that back onto Barber Lane.

 

Diane Jolly, 84 Grant Street, suggested that the Election Task Force terms of reference include a survey of previous candidates, community association involvement, research of processes used in other municipalities and that the membership be increased to 3 citizen members.
