That Report CS -45 -86 be received for information; and 2. That a copy of this report be sent to Mrs. Cunningham. BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS: At the June 23rd, 1986 Council Meeting staff and Councillor Frank Stapleton were asked to meet with Bonita Cunningham to address concerns raised by Mrs. Cunningham regarding ice time allocation by the Community Services Department. The meeting took place Thursday, June 26, 1986 and present were Frank Stapleton, George Kennett, Fred Payne and the undersigned. Three major issues were addressed: a) excess ice time allocated to BMHA Toro's b) prime time allocated to adult groups c) considerable financial subsidy for Newcastle Village Hockey W General Purpose and Administration Committee REPORT NO. CS -45 -86 Page 2. Questions regarding ice time allocation to all star teams of other centres in the same league as the Toro's were asked. Staff have investigated and the results are attached. It should be noted that virtually all the teams have identical ice time allotment for games including the Toro's. However, the Toro's seem to enjoy an extra 1/2 hour for the two (2) Pee Wee, two (2) Bantam, two (2) Midget and one (1) Juvenile teams compared to most of the other teams in the league. But this is not the case. If all five teams receive 1 1/2 hours of practices the total hours required would be twenty -nine (29) hours for the eleven (11) teams. Adding the proposed four (4) girls teams at 1 1/2 hours each (1 hour games and doubling up practices + 1/2 hours) six (6) more hours would be required totaling thirty -five (35) hours. The Toro's have only been allotted thirty -one and a half (31 1/2) hours for next season. Considering the above staff cannot recommend decreasing the hours allotted to the Toro's at this time. Concern was also expressed that adult groups such as the Town League enjoy prime time (Thurs. 7 - 11 p.m.). Staff have attempted and been unsuccessful to have this group move to a later or less desirable time. Considering the history of this and other adult groups no changes are recommended for next season. The issue of the considerable subsidy given to the Newcastle Village Minor Hockey Association was addressed at Budget deliberations. A meeting has been scheduled with officials of this organization to discuss the organization taking over responsibility of the hockey program and going on a decreasing grant situation similar to BMHA grant allocation. It is staff's intention to review the ice scheduling policy and bring back recommendations prior to the completion of the new arena and the 1987/88 season.

Kennett DATE: July 2,1986 SECT: Ice Time allotment used by travelling teams in centres where the Bowmanville Toros play. Chart * In most centres contacted, ice time for select teams is not included with the house league ice time allotment. They are required to arrange for their own time. The Port Perry Hockey Association handles both allstar and house league. They have twenty -nine teams and the arena board gave the league five and a half hours of ice time per week for all practices. They rent extra ice time at Blackstock but must pay for it themselves. Their practice time is at 7:00 a.m. during the week.
