City Engineer Jakher and Community Services Director Kenny explained the actions taken by staff and members of the community when it was determined that grant funds would be available and the deadline date to submit the application did not allow sufficient time to evaluate the true cost for the soccer field lighting project. Staff determined the importance of submitting the grant application by the deadline was a priority and if grant funds were approved and became available and additional funds are needed, staff would recommend to Council what funds are available to complete the project.
