regarding Public/Private Partnerships for the delivery <strong>of</strong> services within the <strong>Municipality</strong>.<br />
Details on service contracts with the private sector such as OMI Ltd. for the operation<br />
and maintenance <strong>of</strong> our water and wastewater systems or the Sarnia <strong>Lambton</strong> YMCA<br />
