Harry Levy Mr Fleming reported the survey was sent out to tenants and was responded to by A staff report was asked for by councillors for next Tuesday nights council meeting one that would look Into the experience of other municipal llles in cost of enforcement Mr Fleming said that Milton expanded its bylaw beyond Its down town core in 1979 He said Milton a experience was that no additional staff

wasnt passed because of any apparent need for it The statistics show the need as do the calls Legal Clinic receives Mr Fleming said The housing shortage In Hills as well as In all of Ontario makes
