BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
At the November 5/86 N.C.S.A.B. meeting the Grants Policy Subcommittee submitted a
report outlining a number of grant policies and the new proposed application
form. This policy has not yet been submitted to Council for approval.
In light of the N.C.S.A.B. Dec. 3/86 meeting and the review of the 1987 Grant
request /submissions staff have a number of observations and recommendations to
make:
a) All capital requests for improvements or additions to Town owned
facilities should be directed through the N.C.S.A.B. to assess the need. The
N.C.S.A.B. recommendations should subsequently be addressed as part of the
Community Services Department Capital Budget submission.
b) All other capital grants should be supervised by the Community Services
Department and expenses paid through the Community Services Department on
receipt of invoices only.
c) Operating grants shall be released to the organizations through the
Communitv Services Department after Council approval.

d) The Board may wish to consider that Council not approve grant
requests for, Adult sports groups or organizations.
e) The Board may wish to consider subsidizing minor sports groups or
organizations for the use of Town facilities rather than the current
practice of giving direct grants to these groups.
f) It is recommended that the L.A.C.A.C. Committee request be considered
and presented for council approval by the Planning and Development
Department and not the N.C.S.A.B. and that be required to
submitted a proper budget.
The above should be considered by the N.C.S.A.B. and a comprehensive
policy should be submitted to council for approval as soon as
possible.
Please note that another late application has been received (see
attached) from the Orono Horticulture Society.
Attached please also find a copy of a letter from W.R. Heinbuch,
President of the Lions Club, pertaining to the 1987 Late Grant
application for the Board's consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
