council had agreed however to cap the spending at 3500 based on a quick estimate provided when the east side was paved according to a staff report the extra 2300 however is needed to complete and achieve as many parking spots as possible whitehouse said but ward 6 councillor ken prentice said hes puzzled as to what has happened here mayor fran sainsbury said one of prentices constituents asked her to ensure new pave ment was completed on both sides of park drive and said it would cost at least 3500 to clean up the gravel pot holes and mud which is tracked into the hall during wet seasons we all agreed to have the paving done at the time we all shook hands said ward 3 councillor nick tatone prentice said the only reason he informally agreed to support the higher price is because he
