In this regard, consideration of the Hydro Liaison Committee regarding financial assistance was requested. Further to the direction of the Hydro Liaison Committee this matter was referred to the Parks Review Committee for review and subsequent report. Two meetings have taken place regarding this matter wherein the proposal of the Board of Education has been examined in some detail.

The Board of Education has provided information indicating that the cost of upgrading the Courtice West Public School to incorporate aspects that could be used by the community over and above the school use at a cost of $122,069. In addition, the Acting Director of Community Services was requested to provide some additional budgetary information related directly to the facility which should be considered as part of any expansion to the Courtice West Public School. This would include aspects as identified in Attachment #1. (More specific details regarding this will be available at the meeting). After considerable review the Park Review Committee looks favourably upon the type of endeavour proposed (joint use) and feels that the request for funding for the Board of Education plus the associated costs related to walkways and grading should be approved to a total of $150,000. This approval would allow the Board of Education to proceed with its tendering process related to the Courtice West Public School expansion. Subsequently, an appropriate agreement will be entered into between the Town of Newcastle and the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education regarding the use of the facility which will accommodate the needs of the community outside the basic needs of the Board. Such a request will be brought forward as soon as the details of such an agreement have been finalized by staff.
