General Financial Impact - We have concluded our assessment of the Murray V. Jones financial impact work and are presently writing up our findings in the form of a brief progress report. We would respectfully request that a meeting of the Task Force be set up shortly at which time we will review our findings. 2. Water Table Impact - We have had discussions with the Works Department of the Region in an effort to co-ordinate activities respecting the water table impact of both the trunk services and other services such as local sewer and water mains and the storm drainage works. To this end, the Town of Newcastle wrote the Works Department on June 6, 1977 requesting their assistance and co-operation. As a result of this communication, the Regional Municipality has co-ordinated its endeavors respecting water table impact with those of the Town and has introduced us to Mr. Ian Wilson, the Region's consultant, who will be requested to provide the Town with a cost estimate for carrying out additional water table impact studies. Mr. Wilson's work would be undertaken in parallel with his assignment for the Region which is outlined in a letter to homeowners dated June 30, 1977. (copy attached) With your permission, we would request Mr. Wilson and Regional officials to attend the next Task Force meeting in order to provide additional details concerning the nature of the water table impact analysis. Would you please therefore inform me of the next Task Force meeting date as soon as is possible.
