For Committee's information, I advise that funding for the
program requires that the Municipality pay the grant portion
(first having determined that the works have been properly
completed) and then make application to the Heritage Branch of
the Ministry of Culture and Communications for reimbursement. The
Town can obtain full recovery plus 10 percent to cover the
administrative cost.
The Treasurer has indicated that funds pertaining to designated
property grants would be taken from the Miscellaneous Clearing
Account 1003-00015-0000. Once the work has been completed and
inspected by L.A.C.A.C. a subsequent report will be forwarded to
the Committee authorizing payment of the grant.
