Council agreed with Maitland Engineering Services' report for the process to proceed with construc- tion of the Sellers Drain improve- ments. After a request from Cam Procter to use a portion of the unopened road allowance at Lot 10, Conc. 4 as a driveway, council will investi- gate liability as well as the other unopened road allowance at Lot 6, Conc. 7 being used by a landowner. If the use is approved an agreement on title would be required. Council will tender for a grader or tandem or single axle truck for snowplowing for the upcoming winter.
