process for the hiring of a summer
student at the Morris-Turnberry

office worker, would be able to rate
the applications and interview the
three or five best applicants then
make recommendations to council.
Michie wondered if one student
would be enough for delivering blue
boxes or if council should look into
hiring a second student Tor that pur-
pose only.
