expected to be needed for several years, departments were encouraged to close
those capital project accounts and come forward with their funding requests
once they were ready to move ahead with the projects. She noted that when it
was brought back, it would be first on the list in terms of funding in that
year because it was previously approved by Council.
Following this brief
exchange, the report recommendations were put to Committee and CARRIED as
presented.
