SLJBJECT: 1990 COMMUNITY SERVICE GRANTS - REALLOCATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. That report TR-5-91 be received; and
2 . That the transfers to Reserve Funds per attached
Schedule I, totalling $38,573 . 00 be endorsed.
BACKGROUND & COMMENTS
The 1990 approved Capital Budget for the Community Services
Department includes several projects that were financed from
Municipal revenue sources other than taxation. These projects
were not presented through the budget with government funding due
to the uncertainty of Ministry of Tourism and Recreation grants
and because of the timing of the announcements of the funding
available.
The Community Services Department has actively pursued
alternative funding sources through the Ministry of Tourism and
Recreation for these projects through the 1990 year in an effort
to reduce possible future impact on tax dollars for like
projects . This proactive approach for Community Services has
resulted in successfully obtaining funding approval from the
Ministry of Tourism and Recreation, and the transfers identified
represent additional monies that effectively lower the cost of
these budgeted projects .
TR-5-91 Page 2
The Municipal Grant application process for 1990 is now complete
and Schedule I (per attached) provides a summary of the funding
requests, approved funding and recommended transfers to replenish
the reserve funds which originally financed the projects . These
approved grants were previously identified through Community
Services Report CS-34-90 .
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee
