SUBJECT: New Proposed Base Line Community Centre
(Letter dated July 16/80 from Board)
On July 15, 1980 a meeting was held at the Base Line Community
Centre for the purpose of discussing the proposed construction
of a new centre on lands to be provided by East Woodbridge
Developments Limited as stated in their letter of October 2,
1979.
The attached letter from Grant Robertson Architect dated
July 8, 1980 was reviewed by the Committee together with a
verbal outline of the proposed financing, as set forth below,
by the Town Manager.

In estimating the revenues for grant purposes the estimated value
of the .lands to be donated by East Woodbridge Developments Ltd.
have been estimated at $20,000. This was done as the policy set
for C.R.C.A. grants allows the Town to add all donated lands,
material and labour for purposes of grant calculations.

As it appears at the present time there is sufficient funds
to build this new community centre we would recommend the
following, notwithstanding the fact that staff would again
draw to Council's attention that we feel this construction
should not be undertaken until the Recreation Master Plan
has been completed and the Master Plan indicates a need for
this centre at this location:-
1) That we request Fast Woodbridge Developments Ltd. to
convey two acres as set out in their letter dated
October 2, 1980 and that we continue negoiations for
the additional llz acres as requested by the Base Line
Community Centre Board.
2) That once the lands are conveyed to the Town, that
Mr. Robertson be authorized to call tenders for the
construction of the hall and arrange for the necessary
soil tests and construction of a well.
