2b) The Committee authorized the tendering for Drainage Engineer Services.
3a) The Committee authorized PEC’s Canada Post funding application.

4a) AAEC Design: The Committee supports the concept of an AAEC, but would like to consider a relocation. The Committee has asked for a further tender to design the structure as a free standing one.
4b) Waterfront Buildings: The Committee would like to view the buildings this Sunday at noon. The Committee also asked that correspondence be sent to the Museum Committee and the Burns Wharf Theatre Players about removing any material they wish to keep by the end of May, 2023.
