The Town of Fort Frances and the local OPP detachment will sign a second five-year agreement Monday afternoon.
“I know our policing has improved and our quality of training our officers receive is the best,” Mayor Glenn Witherspoon noted this morning.
The new agreement will be officially signed at 3:30 p.m. at the Civic Centre, followed by a reception at the Legion.
Council and administration will return to the Civic Centre at 5:30 for the committee of the whole meeting. During an in-camera session, the Pither’s Point Park legal matters as well as personnel matters and applications to boards and committees will be discussed.
When the public session resumes, the committee will continue to discuss the possibility of buying the international bridge from the Abitibi-Consolidated and Boise Cascade mills.
“It’s pretty distant at the moment, this is just the informational stage,” said Mayor Witherspoon. “There’s probably six avenues we’ll have to investigate.”
During its regular meeting, scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., council will pass a bylaw to authorize an agreement with former resident Neil McQuarrie to write the Fort Frances Centennial History Book for the town’s centennial celebration in 2003.
Council also will pass a bylaw approving a contract of employment for former Alberton clerk Faye Flatt for the positions of municipal planner, deputy chief building official, and provincial offences officer.
