BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS: Correspondence dated June 28, 1990 was received from Ellen Logan, Secretary / Treasurer for the Bowmanville Museum requesting funds towards the restor.ation of the Bowmanville Museum's belvedere. . . .2 4 TR-66-89 Page 2 The Rotary Club of Bowmanville has donated $5,000 for the restoration of the belvedere (rooftop room) in the Museum. The Bowmanville Museum Board has accepted the estimate presented from Restorama at a cost of $9,600.16 and therefore has committed the funds. The Bowmanville Museum Board was made aware that all Capital requests are subject to Council's prior review and approval as a result of report TR-99-89 (reimbursement for the cost of reshingling the Museum roof totalling $3,995). However due to the nature of the request and the donors preference to be identified with a specific part of the Museum renovation, staff recommends approval of the request. This project is separate from Phase One of the renovation of the Bowmanville Museum building estimated at $100,000 and detailed on page 287 of the approved 1990 Capital Budget. The 1990 Reserve Fund Contribution toward this project is earmarked at $50,000 and the projected uses of this Reserve Fund as approved in principle through the Four Year Capital Forecast would suggest that the expenditure could be supported. The Balance in the Reserve Fund is $112,019 and this includes the 1990 budgeted transfer of $15,000 into the Reserve Fund.
