Subsequently, on August 12th 1981, residents of 1) ' CD-44-83 - 2 - July 11, 1983 The Burketon Community held a public meeting and elected five persons for a period of one year as the Burketon Recreation Committee. On August 25th 1981, a further public meeting was held and the slate of officers previously elected was confirmed for a period of two years. At the request of Councillor Taylor in late June 1983, staff prepared a Notice of Public Meeting and outlined the process by which Community Centre Boards were established. Following from this, a public meeting was held on July 3rd 1983, and elections carried out in Burketon Station to establish a Community Centre Board. The matter was raised by Councillor Taylor at the General Purpose and Administration Committee Meeting of Monday, July 4, 1983. It was the Committee's direction, that a report be prepared respecting the establishment of a Board in Burketon and that the report be considered by Council at the Council Meeting of Monday, July 11, 1983. To establish the Burketon Station Parkland as a Community Recreation Centre, it is necessary, that Council pass a by-law establishing the parkland as a Community Recreation Centre, and establishing a Community Recreation Centre Board to provide for its management. It would also be appropriate, that the five persons elected at the public meeting be considered for appointment by Council Resolution, to the Board of Management for the period ending December 31st 1983, and as well , that they be insured in accordance with the Town's policy. Also, two Councillors should be appointed to the Management Board, to complete the Board's complement as established by by-law. The persons elected by the Burketon residents are: Stewart Watt, R.R. #2, Blackstock LOB 1BO - 263-2178 Rick Biggs, R.R. #2, Blackstock LOB 1BO - 263-8412 Eric Ward, R.R. #2, Blackstock LOB 1BO - 263-8089 Grant Micklewright, R.R. #2, Blackstock LOB 1BO- 263-8226 May Strong, R.R. #2, Blackstock LOB 1BO - 263-2521 Appointed as Secretary-Treasurer: Laura Micklewright, R.R. #2, Blackstock LOB 1BO- 263-8226 It is possible, that a capital grant may be available under Section 20 1 ) of The 1980 Ontario Regulations 115/80 to the Community Recreation Centres Act, R.S.O. , 1980, for property acqusition purposes, and it would be appropriate to have the Treasurer investigate this possibility. Members of Council have asked for information about the status of the Burketon Station Shelter. I would advise, that the. matter rests with C.P. Rail . The Town has executed the necessary documents, CD-44-83 - 3 - July 11, 1983 but the Railway has had their legal department put a hold on this and similar transactions pending a review of the Railway's property disposal procedure. Staff will continue to correspond with C.P. Rail on a regular basis regarding the sale of the structure to the Town. Respectfully submitted, David W. Oakes , A.M.C.T. , Town Clerk.
