File: A20
The Public Works Manager reviewed report PW2013-15. He noted the meeting held
Friday April 19th with Riggs Engineering and LPRCA staff, followed by a meeting
with a contractor to discuss activities and costs. He highlighted the cost of$15,000 cited
in the report is an upset limit based on those discussions. He also noted that
confirmation had subsequently been received from LPRCA that the MNR has been
made aware of the situation and the potential permit application forthcoming.
Council members discussed the situation and the current conditions. It was highlighted
that the conditions of the pond area and sand bar change daily, where in certain times of
the day it is below water, and other times it is again visible. Council members
questioned when the last depths of the pond area where checked. Staff advised that the
last measurements were approximately two weeks ago.
Council members further discussed the need to proceed with permit applications to
ensure works can be done within the available window, and options for potential works.
There was further discussion on whether any works should proceed given the related
expense, or whether the natural processes on the beach will correct the situation. In
regard to expenses, opinion was also expressed that the Elgin Military Museum should.
be responsible for costs, as was noted to them in correspondence in November 2012.
