WEYBURN - The transfer of the Haig Elementary School property to the City of Weyburn will be completed soon.
The school facility has been demolished and the property, adjoining some park space in the city, might be used to increase and enhance that current site. The transition will be completed with transfer and legal fees to be paid by the city.
During the discussion and vote on this decision, Jennifer Wilkinson, trustee for Subdivision 6 (Ogema, Pangman, Gladmar, Radville, Yellow Grass and Oungre), declared a conflict of interest and left the conference room. She returned following the vote that approved a motion to transfer the property title.
All of the other board members in attendance voted in favour.
Other board brief notes:
• The manager of finances and payroll, Marilyn Yurkiw informed the board that the official auditors will be visiting the division’s head office to perform their duties over a couple of days in the near future.
• The Sept. 21 meeting was the first public session for the board since their mid-June gathering. They did conduct some in-camera strategy sessions in late August. The board will gather again for an open public meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 12 at 1 p.m. in the division’s head office in Weyburn.
