to the hoard of Management of the Business fmprovement Area request:Q.',
clarificati_on ,and on July 3rd the attached letter was received from the
Board, At the present time the energy charges are beilng billed to the
Bnsinpss Improvement Area on a flat rate and rho P.H .C. advises that they
have not received a request_ from the Town to carry out repairs and maintenance
to the new fixtures.
Based on information supplied by Mr. Watson Manager of the Bowmanville
P. U. C. the energy cost for each light at this present rates would be ; 1 . 26.
This would result in a cost of 32 lights x 1 .26 x 7.2 = ;483 .84 per annum.

billed on a t imp and material basis and Council would have to request the
