review a number of petition and initiative projects. This is the "First
and Second Step" report for the petition projects. The report for
initiative projects was approved by Council on April 22, 1997. The
purpose of this report is to begin the formal Local Improvement process

subsequent Manager's Minute upon completion of the necessary design
work.

Funds for the City's share of the projects are available from existing
Engineering Department Basic Capital Accounts.

In accordance with the Local Improvements Procedure By-Law, I am
submitting the attached City Engineer's Report. The estimated cost of
these projects is $ 2,075,854. The Property owners share of these
projects is $ 847,719. The City's share is $1,228,135. I have to report
that the necessary financial arrangements have been made to carry out
