Hanwell Local Service District – Advisory Committee Minutes of Meeting:

5. There are now 8 individuals and 2 alternates representing the Hanwell at the Rural Community Round Table.

Detlef has sent a letter to our LSA regarding the recreation budget and the Brookdale Recreation Association proposal. Apparently LG has approved the finding for Brookdale Recreation for 2007. 9. A meeting with LG and the various LSD’s was held to discuss the Recreation Services Agreement (rinks). A few changes were made to ensure that the agreement reflected what the residents had voted on. 10. The LSDAC discussed the fact that their mandate ends March 15th. It appears that the majority of the LSDAC will not re-offer. For this reason it is imperative that the LSDAC elections receive as much exposure as possible. LG will advertise in the paper and the LSDAC will post it on the web site. The web site should be updated as much as possible prior to the mandate ending. Action: Holly will e-mail our LSA.
