1.0 BACKGROUND:
1.1 In October 1997 the building located at 150 Port Darlington Road, Bowmanville became vacant.
The building purchased in the summer of 1994 originally had two tenants but from 1996 and 1997,
only one tenant occupied the building. Attempts were made by staff to rent out the second floor but
no suitable tenants were found.
1.2 Recently a request from Bethesda House was received to utilize the building as a Resource Centre
(Attachment No.2). In conversations with the Planning Department, the proposed use is in
conformity with the Zoning By-law (Attachment No.3) in as much, the Municipality is the
landowner.
2.0 OPERATING COSTS:
2.1 In the 1997 budget, an amount of $9,475.00 was approved from the Tax Levy to cover the daily
operating costs including utilities, water/sewer, insurance etc. Even though the Municipality
maintained the lawns, no specific expenses were charged to this property, as it was part of the
Corporate Grass Cutting Contract.
2.2 Revenues from the previous tenant were estimated at $6,600.00.

MUNICIPALITY O~ GLARINGTON
ECONOMIC OEVELOPMEN1
Dear Mr. Horvath,
Thank you for kindly taking the time to show several members of Bethesda
House the property at 150 Port Darlington Road. After some discussion we
are now able to respond to your offer concerning use of that site.
Bethesda House is a shelter for abused women and their children which is
located in the Municipality ofClarington. Having opened in March of 1995,
the shelter has provided safety to over 400 women and children in-house and
assistance to many more as callers on our crisis lines. It has been our
experience that there are numerous gaps in services for women, especially for
abused women who are not staying at the shelter. Improved follow-up
support services could certainly reduce the number of readmissions to the
shelter. At this time Bethesda House is looking to expand our services in
order to meet the needs which are being expressed to us.
It is our intention to develop a women's resource centre in Clarington. The
centre would provide a number of services which would depend prinlarily on
funding and on demand. However, we expect that some of the services we
1203
would offer would include an information and referral service, lending
library, food bank, clothing exchange, individual and group counselling,
workshops, children's program and drop-in social times. The centre's
services would focus on the needs and wants of women in Clarington with a
special emphasis on women and children who have encountered violence in
their lives.
As an agency we are proposing:
1) To rent the property at 150 Port Darlington Road in Bowmanville for a
period of one year commencing January 1, 1998, with the option of renewing
the lease at the end of that year.
2) To take on the responsibility for groundskeeping, snow removal and
paying the utilities (water, hydro and oil) while leasing the property rent-free,
and
3) That the Town of Clarington make several renovations to the property
before the lease takes effect on January 1, 1998. These would include the
following changes to make the property more accessible to individuals with
disabilities:
a) installing a wheelchair ramp at the front of the house
b) widening the doorway to the downstairs washroom and the doorway
between the front hall and living room so as to make them both wheel
chair accessible
c) adding a small ramp between the kitchen and dining room to
minimize the drop from one floor to the other
In addition we are requesting that changes be made to improve the overall
security of the house. These would include:
a) ensuring all windows are in good repair and are equipped with
storm windows
b) ensuring that the exterior of the house is well-sealed so as to keep
out weather and animals
c) sealing off the exterior fruit cellar door
2 1204
. .
Fill ally, we would ask, in order to make the house more hygienic, that the
following actions be taken:
a) spraying the house for insects, especially spiders
b) removing and disposing of the kitchen stove and fridge
Thank you for considering an arrangement that will see greater programs for
women and children in Clarington and will reduce the gaps in service faced
by victims of violence in our community. Any questions or comments can be
directed to myself during regular business hours at 623-6045 ext. 21.
Sincerely,
