The evaluation, which had caused tempers to flare at previous meetings due to what councillors felt was an underhanded approach, has been completed by MacLellan and Deputy -Mayor Joe Steffler. MacLellan asked councillors when they would like the evaluation presented. It will be presented in March. The mayor stated that he and Steffler were pleased with the process, as was Knight, who has already seen the results. *** Council approved tenders for dust control and gravel at its Feb. 16 meeting, seeking over 70,000 tonnes of gravel to be loaded, weighed, hauled and spread in 2016.
