Medalist in the 100 metres;
AND WHEREAS City of Niagara Falls resident Mike Leskiw has through his own
efforts, in time and money, initiated a fund, together with The Oakville Beaver newspaper, to

Re: F-96-24 - Rescinding of Resolution No. 2t5
Recommendation:
To rescind the Resolution of the Council Number 35 for the naming of specific positions for certain
Bank Accounts.
Background:
Resolution No. 35 was recommended by Staff and approved by Council at the May 27, 1996,
meeting of Council. Staffs recommendation was intended for certain bank accounts that are kept
in association with other organizations such as the Niagara Falls Public Library Board. However,
the resolution was inappropriately prepared for the City's own accounts which are governed by the
Signing Authority By-law #96-113.
