County Council moved to proceed with plans for a new Milton administration building at Victoria Park and asked solicitor Doug McConachie to prepare an application to the Milton Planning Board seeking rezoning of the park land west of the county building. The bylaw would realign park land to county offices, with opposition from Milton to prevent construction in the town park. Additional items included hospital bond sales, school district debentures, staffing plans, traffic signals, and a bylaw to require applicants to convey property for county use, amid ongoing budget and grant discussions.
