the Terms of Reference for the Culture and Recreation Master Plan to
the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation for approval.

-2 -
Town Staff, Ministry of Culture and Recreation Staff and Ontari
Staff have discussed the study requirements and finding of the study,
estimated at $35,000.00 (1982). Under the Master Plan program the
Ministry of Culture and Recreation will pay 50% of the study cost.
The Town would be responsible for the remainder of the study costs.
It is felt that the study in part, relates to the Hydro Agreements
(the impact of the Generating Station on recreational facilities
in the Town) that Ontario Hydro shared the responsibility for 50%
of the Town's share.
Administrative Costs - Hydro Liaison Committee
At the last Hydro Liaison Committee there was a brief discussion
regarding the Town's administrative costs, incurred in 1979, 1980
and 1981 as a result of the Town's participation in the Hydro Liaison
Committee and related matters.
The attached sheets detail staff time by Department and at average
hourly rates (overhead included). Staff feel that the Town should
be reimbursed by Hydro for these costs.
It should be noted that the Town recovers administrative costs through
Subdivision and Development Agreements required as a condition of
development in the Municipality.
Courtice Urban Area - Storm Sewers
-- As members of the Committee are aware, the awarding of a tender for
the construction of a portion of the storm sewer system in the Courtice
Area has been tabled at Town Council, pending the decision of the
Minister of Housing (Ontario) to alter the conditions of the Housing
Action Program Loan. A copy of the Minister's letter is attached.
Staff have had several preliminary discussions with Ontario Hydro
regarding the impact of the Generating Station on local housing demand,
and have been advised that Hydro is prepared to advance $150,000.00
to the Town for the cost of the storm sewer project.
As the project is a capital works, it is felt that the monies should be
advanced from the Station "A" account. Related correspondence is attached.
