REPORT
GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
Meeting: File # _JZ_
Date: December 8, 1997 Res. #
Report #: TR-108-97 File #: By-law #
Subject:
Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville - Request for Funding
i
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
P Y P
recommend to Council the following:
1. That Report TR-108-97 be received,
2. THAT should Council consider the award of a one time grant to the Memorial
Hospital in the amount of $6,300.00, funds be drawn from the Unallocated Grants
account #7613-99-X and the prior year surplus.
Background
1.0 A letter dated November 5, 1997 (Attachment# 1)was received from the Memorial
Hospital, Bowmanville. The normal process for grant requests is to apply through
the budget process. However there have also been requests outside of the budget
process to waive facility fees for "not-for-profit" organizations. In these
circumstances there is traditionally a grant given to the group which will allow them
to pay for the facility. This maintains the revenue associated with facility rentals at
the normal level for budget purposes and does not create precedent for waiving fees.

TR-108-97 Paize 2
2.0 If Council considers that a one time grant to the Memorial Hospital is appropriate,
there are unallocated funds of approximately $1,900 available from the 1997 grant
allocation (account # 7613-00099-X). The balance of approximately $4,400 would
be charged to that account with the funding provided from the prior year's surplus.

Dear Mayor Hamre,
We would greatly appreciate your consideration of waiving the building permit fee
of$6,300, which has been paid in regards to the operating room suite relocation/renovation
project at Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville.
The relocation/renovations will provide significant benefits to patients and their loved
ones in our community as a result of improved privacy, accessibility, convenience and
aesthetics. This project will allow the hospital to increase the volume and scope of surgical
procedures performed, in the face of rapidly increasing needs from a growing population,
while at the same time increasing operating efficiencies dramatically.
Of note, it has been necessary to fully self-fund this project without assistance from
the Ministry of Health. The project is expected to be completed by January, 1998.
We would be pleased to provide any further information requested and look forward
to your response.
Sincerely,
T. Schonberg
President
