BOWMANVILLE RECREATION COMPLEX
PROPOSED KITCHEN FACILITIES
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose & Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following : -
1. That Report No. CS -32 -89 be received; and
2. That Staff include a proposal for consideration in the 1990 Capital
Budget to develop a kitchen facility in the Multi Purpose Room
storage room.
1.0 BACKGROUND:
1.1 Early in the planning of the Bowmanville Recreation Complex, discussion
centered around the Multi Purpose Room and the possibility of a fully
operational kitchen. Since the Complex's opening in October 1988 some
groups have approached Town staff and elected officials expressing their
need for enhanced kitchen facilities. In addition, catering companies
have indicated expanded facilities for serving food would assist them in
their delivery and quality of service.

REPORT CS -32 -89 - 2 - October 2, 1989
2.1 Staff have considered several possible locations within the complex which
could be converted to a kitchen facility. The storage room located at
the south end of the multi purpose room hallway appears to meet the
criteria in that the space is adequate for a kitchen facility; no change
to the building facade is required; the location does not interfere with
patrons arriving or leaving the building, use of the washrooms or use of
the bar; deliveries to the kitchen can be made through the south end
entrance and the proposed kitchen location could serve the entire Multi
Purpose Room or any one of the partitioned portions equally well.
2.2 The majority of our clients who require catering,utilize firms which
prepare food elsewhere. Pre - cooked meals are then delivered to the
facility and served from our existing facilities. Several firms have
indicated that provision of a kitchen facility from which they can
prepare and serve meals would assist them in providing a better service.
2.3 A few clients have indicated a wish to prepare and provide their own
meals on site as a means of fundraising. It is conceivable that some
clients may wish to provide foods not available through caterers eg.
ethnic foods, hamburgers, hot dogs etc.
2.4 A fully serviced kitchen can be provided and should consist of but not
be limited to refrigerators, coolers, stoves, counters, cupboards, sinks,
pots, pans, serving trays, serving stands, cooking utensils and
appliances. Place settings and flatware are readily available through
retail rental establishments or provided by catering firms and will not
be included in the proposal.
