The Merritt 100th Anniversary committee has returned approximately $3,800 to the City of Merritt with recommendations for its use.
At its regular council meeting on Nov. 10, city council approved the recommendation that $2,000 of the funds be given to the Nicola Valley Fall Fair Association to use to install permanent washrooms inside the fairground building located next to the rodeo grounds in Collettville.
The remaining funds are being set aside for signage in the parking area outside the Baillie House.
Council approved the recommendation by a 4-1 vote with only Coun. Linda Brown opposed. Coun. Dave Baker and Mayor Neil Menard were not in attendance for the meeting.
