Report CD-43-37 - 2 - July G, 1987 ~° C~ ~
Council adopted the goals and objective statement of the Clerk's Department
contained in the 1987 Current Budget and further, authorized an allocation of
$2,000.00 to cover the Town's portion of a student's salary.
I wish to advise Members of the Committee, that a student has been hired and
the poll boundary re-alignment program has begun. It is anticipated that the
program will be completed in-house by the end of August, at which time the
new poll alignment will be reviewed by the Regional Assessment Office and any
minor adjustments made. The entire process should be completed by the end
of 1987 or early in 1988.
It is recommended that this report be received for information.
