METING: GENERAL PURPOSE & ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
DATE: July 3, 1989
REPORT #: TR-62-89 FILE #:
SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR FUNDING
BOWMANVILLE BUSINESS CENTRE
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. That report TR-62-89 be received; and
2. That the request from the Bowmanville Business Centre for funding
in amount of $6,800.00 not be approved; and
3. That Mr. Garth Gilpin be advised of Council's actions.
BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:
At a regular meeting of Council held on June 27, 1988, Council passed
Resolution #C-492-88. Said Resolution approved funding in the amount of
$6,500.00 as requested by Mr. Garth Gilpin in his correspondence dated
June 15, 1988 (per attached) .
Mr. Gilpin noted in his letter of June 15, 1988 that the annual maintenance
of these trees will be budgeted by the Bowmanville Business Centre in
subsequent years.
Moreover, the Bowmanville BIA 1989 Budget totalling $80,000.00 (per
attached) was passed by Council via Resolution #C-273-89 on April 10,
1989. A provision for landscaping had been alloted within this budget at
$10,500.00.

It is anticipated that this provision will cover the tree-maintenance program
within the downtown core. In addition, consideration should be given to the
fact that the approved 1989 BIA Budget is $20,000 higher than the 1988
allocation.
Consequently, staff recommends that at this time the request for funding
by the Bowmanville Business Centre be denied.

Dear Mr. Oakes
After several years of neglect , the 95 trees in the
Downtown streetscape area require immediate major atten-
tion, including 4 dead tree replacement, trimming , fer-
tilizing , and the removal of. imbedded wires, at a cost
of $8, 500. Unless action to correct this problem is taken
this year, the trees will not likely survive another J
winter. The annual maintenance of these trees wil be
budgeted by ourselves in subsequent years in the amount
of $2 ,000 per year based on 1988 dollars.
Our concern requires a satisfactory inancin arrange-
ment 9 9
ment for the spending of the $8, 500 immediately, for
this major unbudgeted expenditure. A grant of $6, 500 •
from the Town of Newcastle, or an interest-free loan
spread over 3 years is seen to be a reasonable method of
resolving this situation. j
Your immediate attention to this request would be very
much appreciated. -
Yours very truly
I
