RE: Elimination of Proposed Ward Minor Capital Program

WHEREAS the draft 2009 Capital Budget includes $575,000 for the Ward Minor Capital Program; and

WHEREAS at a time when core services that people in our community value are threatened a $25,000 capital fund for each councillor is not affordable;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED That the Ward Minor Capital Program be removed from the 2009 Capital Budget.
