Their opinions were as follows. The Weather Modification Association wisied that the Contract be signed with their association as it is proposed in other areas of the Province, namely Starland, Rockyview and Mountain View. The Ratepayers Protective Association felt that the Contract should be direct with the Commercidl operator as it wak their opinion that the onus would fall on the Council for any inadequacies of the Operator. 14r Caub'n was asked if they would be willing to sign a contract should a Plebescite over the whole of the area be ;passed by the ratepayers.
