BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
The Newcastle Community Hall, King Street East, Newcastle, Ontario,
was designated as a heritage property in June 1993 .
The cost of the work has been identified in the amount $5, 000 to
refurbish the original wood floor in the main floor east room. An
application has been filed for a grant in the amount of $3, 000 . 00
to assist in offsetting the costs associated with the project .
Grants are available to owners of designated properties under the
Ministry of Culture and Communications "Designated Property Grant
Program" to cover 50 percent of the cost of the project, to a
maximum of $3 , 000 . 00 per year. The Ministry has indicated that
funds are available and it is appropriate that this application,
which meets the program' s grant criteria, be processed at this
time .
Report CD-25-94 - 2 - July 4, 1994
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 property 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 L.A. C.A.C. , a subsequent report will be forwarded to
the Committee authorizing payment of the grant .
