It was a quick meeting, lasting less than 20 minutes, but Bay Bulls council managed to cover quite a lot of ground.
Council purchased 300 metric tonnes of winter road salt from lowest bidder Avalon Coal, Salt, & Oil Ltd., at a total cost of $40,611, plus HST, and 700 metric tonnes of winter road sand from lowest bidder O’Brien’s Trucking Ltd., at a cost of $24,000 plus HST.
Council also awarded a contract for patch paving services to lowest bidder English’s Paving Inc., in the amount of $59,700, plus HST, and purchased new directional signs for the Long Pond Walking Trail from FASTSIGNS at a cost of $16,096, plus HST.
Council approved two residential sheds, a Crown land application for 0.46 acres of land along Cemetery Lane West for the purpose of a residential home, and expansion of the Stone Duckey Restaurant at 56-64 St. John’s Road.
Council also voted to sell, by tender, two storage sheds.
The date for the annual Trunk-or-Treat has also been set as Saturday October 26, beginning at 6:30 p.m.at the Bay Bulls Regional Lifestyle Centre. Council approved a budget of $1,000 in support of the event.
