Drain Claim - 30 Hastings Avenue (East Toronto)

The Toronto Community Council recommends that City Council waive the account for the drain claim at 30 Hastings Avenue.

The Toronto Community Council submits the following communication (July 7, 1998) from Councillor Jakobek:

Ms. MacDougall had problems with her drains. She contacted the City to see if the problem was on City or private property. Our City work crew responded and found that the problem was on private property. Although Ms. MacDougall had the problem repaired by a private contractor, the City is now charging her $1,173.42 for the work the city did. She is aware that she signed an agreement with the City to pay all costs if the problem was not on City property, but feels she was forced to do so.

I would kindly request permission for Ms. Suzanne MacDougall to address the Toronto Community Council regarding the above.

Ms. Suzanne MacDougall appeared before the Toronto Community Council in connection with the foregoing matter.

(A copy of the invoice, agreement and work order, attached to the foregoing communication was forwarded to all Members of the Toronto Community Council with the agenda for its meeting on September 16, 1998, and a copy thereof is on file in the office of the City Clerk).
