NEW BUSINESS Subject: Eagle View Lodge Request to waive snow removal fee Request from CAO of Eagle Hill Foundation: Please accept this as Eagle Hill Foundation s formal written request to have the Village of Myrnam complete snow removal for Eagle View Lodge s parking lots for no fee. Eagle Hill foundation is working very hard to remain financially stable and in doing this we are looking to our communities to help us support our local seniors. Currently The County of Two Hills does snow removal at no cost for Hillside Lodge located in Two Hills and Eagle Hill Lodge located in Willingdon. The County would also take care of Eagle View Lodge but unfortunately, they do not have equipment suitable for the job located at the Myrnam County Shop, therefore we are requesting the assistance of the Village of Myrnam.
