CD-13-85 - 2 - Apri l 15th 1985 '~~ i ~~
Under the heading "must do" was included the requirement that:
a) three additional outlets be installed;
b) the electrical service panel be updated.
This is the area of concern that has been addressed by this report.
George Moore Electric Limited was requested to inspect the electrical
service and the appurtenances associated with the service and establish
their adequacy. The conclusion was, that the electrical service was
inadequate and would have to be replaced as it could not be updated.
George Moore Electric Limited included in the price of $1,595.00 the cost
of supplying and installing the exterior floodlights referred to in paragraph
. one of this report. This was a budget item. However, the deficiencies noted
in the inspection report were unbudgeted and will require Council's approval
of the expenditure of $1,095.00 to cover the cost of upgrading the electrical
service.
The matter has been discussed with the Administrator and, if approved by
Council, can be charged to the contingency account 7007-298-X-9.
Expenditure allocations:
Animal Control Account 7105-0172-X-2 $ 500.00
Contingency Account 7007-298-X-9 1,095.00
TOTAL $1,595.00
