Please know that HREP is very committed to and, in fact, is looking forward to involving the CLC in the design process." It was agreed that the CLC needs to move forward with its work.

| 5. | Report of the CIF Sub-Committee Mike Kroger e-mailed Craig about the CIF fund: "As you will note on the extracts (cost elements for the HSP and Council approval of same)...,the Halifax CIF is $1.0 million, the Dartmouth CIF is also $1.0 million, Herring Cove CIF is $5.0 million for a total CIF of $7.0 million. (Herring Cove does not currently have central sewer or water and the total cost of the installation for the area residents will be significantly higher that the $5.0 million in the CIF). ...,these amounts were approved by Council and any changes or expenditures of the CIF would require Council approval as per the approved guidelines." It was suggested that the CLC should meet with Dan English and George McLellan. Ross will be meeting with George McLellan on another matter, but will bring up the subject. It was recommended that we seek an economist to assist in understanding the full economic impact of the CIF plan.
