POST AGENDA Lathom School Sign Site Councillor Bulger reported that the owner of land where a former school site is located is preparing to sell the property. He has enquired about subdividing out a small area which includes the historical sign identifying the former school site and has expressed interest in donating that land to the County. He would like to know the minimum parcel size that the County would accept as a donation to have the sign remain. It was confirmed that the concept behind the old school site sign program is for the subject area to remain in the title and future maintenance of the sign to be provided by the landowners rather than donating the site to the County. Councillor Bulger is going to speak with the landowner in an effort to clarify the program and determine whether additional consideration is required regarding this request. 11.
