years. The Development Clerk responded that she wasn't sure, but
would do some investigation and return with the statistics. Councillor 8.
de Jong asked why some permits showed a value while other permits
did not. The Development Clerk replied the reason that the three
permits on this report did not reflect a value was that they are

on the value of the development and the Development Clerk replied that
was the case.
