RESOLVED that:

contractor to deliver the Watergate School expansion project be noted;

(2) the overall project budget for the Watergate expansion project be noted

and remains the same as the previously approved budget;

Watergate School expansion project, on the understanding that a further

report be brought to Mayor & Cabinet to award the Stage 2 construction
