Members of the library board will be on hand Monday afternoon to submit their recommendation on a preferred contractor for the new Fort Frances Library and Technology Centre to Fort Frances town councillors.

A special committee of the whole meeting at the Civic Centre is scheduled for 4:00 pm. Six companies submitted bids on March 17 with the lowest coming in at about $3.8 million.

Council will also discuss a contract for the moving of the tugboat Hallett and fire tower to the waterfront. The lowest bid for that work is about $1.2 million.

Preliminary operating and capital budgets will be discussed for what should be one final time before council seeks public comment.
