of four parcels of property, and she questioned the relocation costs for each

tenants who are eligible for relocation costs according to federal guidelines.
Pierre Denault, 205 Lovejoy Avenue, informed the council that he did not agree with
the recent editorial in the Waterloo Courier regarding the condition of the former

the city should let the property owner demolition the building. Mr. Denault stated

Denault encouraged city leaders not to agree with such shortsightedness.
