REPORT AND BACKGROUND:
St . George' s Church, 250 Mill Street South, Newcastle was
designated as a heritage property in February 1989 . Restoration
work is required to be done on the basement timbers, the roof and
the brickwork. The consultant has provided an estimate of
$27, 000 . 00 to complete the work and an application has been filed
for a grant of $3 , 000 . 00 to assist in offsetting the costs .
Grants are available to owners of designated properties under the
Ministry of Culture and Communications "Designated Property Grant
Program" to over 50 percent of the cost of the projet, to a
maximum of $3 , 000 . 00 per year. The Ministry has indicated that
funds are available, provided the applications are submitted by
July 15 . It is appropriate that this application, which meets
the program' s grant criteria, be processed at this time.
Report CD-29-94 - 2 - July 11, 1994
For Council' 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
Municipality 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 the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory
Committee, a subsequent report will be forwarded to the General
Purpose and Administration Committee authorizing payment of the
grant .
