Station Account' A', a reserve fund was set up in the name of the Municipality of
Clarington and is maintained by the Municipality. The agreement specifies monies may
be disbursed from this reserve fund for the purpose of site rehabilitation of the Soper
Creek Water Pollution Control Plant upon mutual agreement of the Council of the
Municipality of Clarington and the Council of the Region of Durham,
2. As part of the 1997 Capital Budget, Council approved to modify the former water
pollution control plant to accommodate a tourist info centre, entrance beautification,
landscaping etc. The budgeted cost for the site rehabilitation is $175,000.00. The
approved 1997 Capital Budget (Attachment A) reflected potential financing of $25,000.00
from the Clarington/Region Station "A" Reserve Fund. Due to the nature of the work
performed, it is the opinion of staff that the full scope of the project should qualify to be
financed from this reserve fund under the scope of the agreement. As of December 31,
1997 the approximate uncommitted balance in this Reserve Fund is $3.5 million.
CONCLUSION:
1. It is the opinion of staff that this capital project meets the purpose for which the Station
Account 'A' Reserve Fund's monies was designated. Therefore it is recommended that
the capital project be 100% funded from the Clarington/Region (Station "A") Reserve
Fund and that the Region of Durham be requested to authorize the use of the Reserve
Fund for this purpose.
2. The decommissioning of this site was originally reported to and authorized by Council
through Report PD-80-94. There were additional costs associated with the
decommissioning and site rehabilitation over and above the amount anticipated in PD-80-
94. These costs were invoiced to the Municipality in December 1997 and a final status
report to Council will be on the March 2, 1998 agenda.
