In order that Mr. Collins serve as the City's representative on the Board of the South Essex Sewerage District, it is required that his position be identified as the "Director" of Engineering rather that the Commissioner of Engineering. I hereby request that your honorable Council amend current ordinances so that Mr. Collins is identified as the City's Director of Engineering. I have attached hereto a revised Ordinance prepared by the City Solicitors office upon which I request that you take immediate action. Approval of this proposed ordinance change will result in Mr. Collins' position being identified as "Director of Engineering; Commissioner of Public Services, Public Works ".

That effort is about to bear fruit. At the present time City Ordinances prohibit the possession of alcoholic beverages in all but a few City buildings. This prohibition currently extends to the Carriage House. I request your Honorable Council amend the currently existing Ordinance so that the possession and consumption of alcoholic beverage be permitted in the Carriage House so that its attractiveness as a function facility be enhanced. I have attached hereto for your consideration a proposed amendment to the present Ordinance that has been prepared by the City Solicitor's Office. Very truly yours, William F.
