Page 2.
Each year since 1976, the Bowmanville Arena has been subject to a structural analysis
to determine the building's structural adequacy. This year's report as submitted by
Totten Sims and Hubicki Associates has identified minimal structural repair
reinforcement work to be completed prior to the arena receiving Ministry approval for
our 1987 -88 operating season. These repairs are of structural nature, involving
repair and replacement of deteriorated concrete blocks, banding of bowstring trusses
and minor patchwork to the roof.
The total preliminary estimated cost to carry out the necessary repairs is
$10,000.00. It has been recommended by the Treasurer, that the necessary funds be
drawn from the contingency account-.
