City staff is recommending council give it the go ahead to apply for federal funding to support work needed on the War Memorial Tower next to the Gardens.
The work involved comes in at an estimated cost of over 101-thousand dollars and the project entails rehabilitation and repair of the existing concrete structure within both the interior and exterior and the glass block which needs repair or replacement.
The maximum grant funding available through the Veterans Affairs program would be 25-thousand dollars.

City staff is recommending that local firm Gough Masonry be awarded the contract to complete the latest phase of the Mausoleum expansion at the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.
Gough Masonry submitted one of the lowest bids of the half-dozen submitted and would complete the work for just over a million dollars.
A report to council for tonight’s (Monday) meeting indicates that the costs can be covered through the Cemetery Reserve and sale proceeds from crypts in 2019.
This is the 15th phase of the ever expanding mausoleum facility.
