There have been some leaks repaired and the Town had <br />the roof inspected and is now awaiting the results. <br /> <br />At Lakeshore, the Board was met by Councillor Lalonde of the <br />Lakeshore Council who presented a petition supporting the <br />continuation of the Lakeshore Branch and the current hours of <br />operation. Councillor Lalonde also questioned the Board's policy in <br />regard to charges for damaged material. <br /> <br />At Stoney Point, the pot holes and muddiness of the <br />driveway/parking area was noted. It is the Municipality's <br />responsibility to maintain this and more gravel is needed. <br /> <br />All of which is respectfully submitted. <br /> <br />Mr. William Varga, Chair <br />
