cuts/excavations, construction or repair on driveways, etc. This does not include permit consent to
encroachment, easements, vacations, and commercial driveway cuts. A bi-monthly report will be

OTHER
Sergey Grechukhin, Corporation Counsel, briefly speaks regarding the DORA Applications being
presented to the Board today. The City Council has passed a designated refreshment ordinance that
allows the consumption of alcoholic beverages. As part of the next step of approvals, we collected the
applications from the vendors that would like to participate in the DORA District. Sergey presents a
map to the Board on the DORA District that was approved by the Council and also shows the vendors
who have submitted a DORA Application. The Tobacco and Alcohol Commission requires this form.
So once the Board approves these, they will be forwarded to the ATC. The areas will have signs
showing where the DORA areas are approved.
