John Powless had a concern on what action the Business ConD1ittee was going totake on putting the land into trust. It was explained that the BusinessCaIlDittee had not In9.de any decision about putting the fo~r Carlton propertyinto trust. At this titre, the Plarming Team for the developrrent of theCarlton property is looking into different options for the property as well asthe advantages and disadvantages of putting the property into trust. 'When theresearch is done, the Planning Team will bring rec~dations to the BusinessCamJittee for their review and direction.
