Mr. Jake Lundheim, County Engineer, was present to mention to the Council that the County would need future grade approval on CSA 21, north from Main Street. There was some discussion on the work which will be done on this and other roads this year. Mr. Cardinal thanked Mr. Lundheim for the work done on Birch Street.
