MEMO

   DATE:MARCH 30, 1998

 TO:CHAIR & MEMBERS OF BUDGET COMMITTEE, AND CHAIR & MEMBERS OF STRATEGIC POLICIES & PRIORITIES COMMITTEE

 FROM:COUNCILLOR JOE PANTALONE

 SUBJECT:CONTRACT NO. T-42-98

  I am writing to request an opportunity to address the committee regarding contract number T-42-98 (see attached memo).

 At a previous meeting, the Urban Environment and Development Committee approved this and requested it be considered by Toronto city Council. Budget Committee's deferral means a de facto decision has been taken that work will not occur this year since the construction period will have lapsed. It was the intention of the Urban Environment and Development committee that the matter be dealt with by council in timely fashion. I therefore respectfully request this item be considered and forwarded to council for its July 8th meeting.

 Thank you tor your attention to this matter.
