It should be noted that Ms. Homeniuk's request does not comply with past Council direction.

An officer was dispatched, but when the officer arrived there was no evidence of loud music from the midway. As directed in the by-law the Regional Health Unit and the City's Traffic Division have been advised of this request. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None COMMUNICATIONS: Ms. Homeniuk has been supplied with the mailing labels to enable her to contact the area residents. (Mrs) Patricia Harris Manager of Licensing
