Bay Bulls council approved two routine contracts during last week’s public meeting.
Council awarded curb sweeping services to Baird’s Asphalt at a cost of $1,050, plus HST, and waste disposal services to O’Brien’s Trucking for $2,300, plus HST. Council also approved the purchase of $3,166, plus HST, worth of maintenance tools and equipment.
On the development front, council approved the demolition of a home at 15-21 Irish Town Road and the construction of two new homes on the same property, as well as a business application for a new retail store on 131 Winnonish Drive and another business at 63 Southside Road.
Council also gave single-purpose approval to a developer who had submitted both a residential and commercial application regarding property at 710 Southern Shore Highway, meaning the developer can choose one use or the other.
Mayor Keith O’Driscoll noted that it was nice to see some new businesses opening up in town.
