Page 2. The architect, builder and representatives of the Base Line Community Centre as well as Town officials were present for the final inspection of the Hall. With the exception of three (3) or four (4) small problems noted and agreed to be rectified by the contractor, all were pleased with the results of the inspection. The Hall Board is currently re- examining the question of the necessity of an eaves trough along the north side of the building and the matter of the necessity of filling in the grass islands in the parking lot. A separate report will be presented when the results of these deliberations are completed. If changes are required, any funds required to complete these tasks would be drawn from the Base Line Community Centre Reserve Fund. Earlier fears about possible flooding of the building did not materialize. The facility is already heavily booked for this calendar year and it is anticipated that this extensive community use of the facility will continue in the future. The Board has expressed some concern with respect to acts of vandalism and have been reporting such incidents to the police. We compliment Gerr Construction and Grant Robertson, Architect and the Hall Board for a job well done. Respectfully submitted, Jan Devantier, R.D.M.R., Director Department of Community Services JD *sa
