1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 As Members of Council are aware, staff negotiated successfully for the
acquisition of the Brian McFarlane Hockey Museum.
1.2 At that time, Council reviewed a number of options that would see the host site
for the new hockey museum located in the courtyard at the Garnet B. Rickard
Recreation Complex.
1.3 The museum, as operated by the McFarlane's, utilized approximately 3,000
square feet of display area, staff is recommending a structure approximately
3,500 square feet, which will allow for some modest expansion of the museum
displays and further provide an area for rotating displays.
1.4 Staff will be reviewing various options for the rotating displays, anticipating they
will be supplied in conjunction with the National Hockey League's Hall of Fame in
Toronto. Those discussions will take place over the next number of months.
1.5 As this is a specialty structure, the cost to design and construct a facility of this
nature is estimated in the $250 per square foot range, which will require a project
budget of $875,000.00.
1.6 Of this amount, a significant portion will be allocated to interior treatments and
display areas of the facilities. Please refer to Section 2.3 of this report for a
detailed breakdown of this project budget.
2.0 PROGRAM
2.1 This project will consist of the construction of approximately 3,500 square feet of
space, located in the courtyard area of the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation
Complex, immediately adjacent to the lobby linking Pad A and Pad B of the
facility.
2.2 The building will be completely self contained and will consist of a main entrance,
display area, Peter Puck Theatre, souvenir sales area and storage. It is
anticipated to be accessible externally as well as from the interior of the existing
complex.

2.5 Financing
It is recommended that the Hockey Museum be funded from the Impact/Escrow
Reserve Fund. In 1996, Council transferred funds from the Impact/Escrow
Reserve Fund to the Older. Adults - Operating Reserve Fund. The principal was
to be held however, interest earned was to be available through the budget
process to assist in the start-up operations of the Older Adults Centre. The
principal was to be returned to the Impact/Escrow Reserve Fund December 31,
2000. In 2000, Council extended this date to December 31,2003. Therefore,
there is $754,775.00 that will return to Impact/Escrow Reserve Fund on
December 31 of this year. It is proposed that these funds plus the balance of
$120,225.00 currently in the Impact/Escrow Reserve Fund be used to finance the
Hockey Museum capital construction costs.
3.0 COMMENT
3.1 Staff will be reviewing various options and partnerships available regarding the
operation of the Museum and will be the subject of an additional report to Council.
Preliminary operating estimates will be provided in the 2004 current operating
budget and will reflect the proposed project schedule.
