Witless Bay council during the July 26 meeting rescinded three motions that it had originally passed during the June meeting.
The motions included tendering of road grading, shouldering, and other general work, tendering for pothole repairs, and tendering for the construction of a new fence for the dog park.
Councillor Ralph Carey explained that in regard to the road grading and shouldering, the Town already had a standing offer in place which would render the tender process for the work unnecessary.
As to the pothole repairs, Carey noted the work would not meet the threshold for an open call for bids.
Council has also since issued a new request for quotes for work to be done at the dog park. A quote is expected to be approved in the coming weeks.
The motion to rescind the prior motions passed unanimously.
